MCT:September 24, 2008A stand alone movie from the second series. Well done. Explains why the Admiral is so darn psycho.

After initially being confused as to where it fitted into the bsg timeline, I settled into what is pretty much just an awesome feature length episode. great effects. brilliant cast. yeah. Ass - Kickin'

MCT:June 16, 2008Like everything else in the (modern) Galactica universe, its a phenomenal story backed with engaging action, stellar direction, and it leaves you hanging. Why does every episode have to leave you guessing what's going to happen next? Because they can.
Anyway, if you've never seen the show and don't care to, then don't watch this as it'll offer nothing interesting. Also, if you don't watch the show, you probably should. -
MCT:June 13, 2008first and foremost, this is essentially a movie for fans of the show. PERIOD. that said, wow! as always, this show delivers! a nice backstory tale about lee "apollo" adama's first mission as pegasus' commander, as well as some insight into admiral cain's past (both in childhood - albeit briefly - and what happened to the pegasus during the mini-series). some of the cain flashbacks show what is only mentioned in her 3-episode story arc from season 2. and all i can say is, HOLY FRAK! (if you're a fan of the show, you'll know that frak literally translates to fuck - but they can't say that on t.v.) what was mentioned in those episodes easily leads you to believe cain was a cold-hearted bitch. watching those actions, well, draw your own conclusion. but she took no shit and she was ruthless. from what was mentioned then to what is shown here (of the same events), they pulled no punches on the graphicness of it all. and, as much as i think the reimagined version of battlestar galactica is far superior to the original (and that's just my opinion - everyone's entitled to theirs), i still am a fan of the original series (the debacle that was "galactica 1980" not withstanding), and being able to see the old-school "toasters" (the original cylons as was seen in the original series; "toasters" is a slang term used in the current incarnation to describe the cylons) was a treat (as well as the old-school ships, as well). and, i loved how they made that a new and interesting part of the show's mythology (as well as raising even more questions to a show that constantly makes you ask, "WTF?"). the action scenes were intense, as were all the backstory told (within the main story, which, in itself, IS a backstory). a must see for any fan of this incarnation of the show (and i know there are some fans of the original who hate this version - hell, that's their opinion, not mine). i could mention spoilers, but suffice it to say, to anyone who's watched this show religiously - what colonel fisk says about admiral cain in the season 2, 3-episode story arc, IS shown. very brutal to watch.
but, at it's heart, this show has always been a drama about humanity: it's challenges; making hard decisions, whether they be right or wrong (and not just at the time, but in general); walking the moral fine-line to acheive the greater good. and you do see some stuff that is fucked, and makes you ask, "how could they do that?" but then, there's the flip-side to that coin, when faced with extinction, what does become acceptable (or necessary) to ensure the survival of your race? is sacrificing a few for the many acceptable? they only give you the question through a visual stand-point - you must draw your own conclusion. and when a show can both entertain and make you think (on many levels as this show does; many of which i haven't even mentioned), then you have something special.
i got off point, but if you're a fan and haven't watched it, get it you won't be disappointed. if you've never watched the show and are curious, i would suggest watching the show from the beginning before watching this, as many of these characters didn't appear until the 2nd season, and the fact that this movie DOES work effectively as a retrospective (and, from what i understand, sets up some plot points for season 4). -

I would like more of Starbuck and Admiral Adama on this movie but still you Cain again for one more time and classic Cylons!!! What else can you ask?
-
MCT:May 21, 2008
great stuff. its more than just a remake..its great sci fi and even people who dont like sci fi can enjoy it!
-
MCT:April 21, 2008
A lot of information does come along... it makes us understand little details Such a good serie!!!
Season 4 started April 4th and it is awesome!!! -
MCT:April 6, 2008
A Gift for the fans of Battlestar Galactica. Full of action and a very interesting story for the series.
-
MCT:April 6, 2008
Fills in a lot of gaps throughout the show and really makes you enjoy the characters! Great Plot and the acting and graphics used were FANTASTIC!
-
MCT:April 3, 2008Disappointing. Adds nothing, really, to the main story (except perhaps the last 5 seconds) and follows an entirely unsympathetic character. What a waste.
-
MCT:March 31, 2008
Nice way too show more about the Pegasus crew that we missed great to watch too get ready for season 4.
-
MCT:March 29, 2008
Just as good as the series regulars. Just goes to prove that great writing and structure will work with just about any actor. A great and well executed backstory. The producers took a chance and it paid off big. Well done!

I really enjoyed this, wasnt what I expected it to be, it wasnt exactly fast paced and full of action but went into great depth into the characters themselves and their struggle with their own morals.
Sometimes this movie has you disgusted at the choices that they made and then you begin to see that it was pretty much there only choice.
Didnt get to see much of the cylons which id have liked and would have liked more special effects but considering it wasnt what I expected I really enjoyed it. -
MCT:March 2, 2008
Director cut uncut...
Dang!
Shows just how no holds barred the other captain character was.
And how she chose to run Her ship.
...Back story of her leadership.
If your following Galactica...
Don't miss this.
If your squeamish you may want to avoid the uncut extended option. -
MCT:March 2, 2008
finally saw it and it was not what I had hoped for. Too much skipping between the stories of the two battlestars and too much flip-flopping between past and present... Even for Battlestar, it was TOO DARK !!
-
MCT:February 23, 2008
You can never have too much Battlestar Galactica (what the hell am I going to do when season 4 is over?) A great story filling in what happened to the Pegasus after the Cylon attack and setting up more conflict and intrigue for the final (sigh) season.
-
MCT:February 18, 2008
Yeah, coz Tricia Helfer is totally NOT a cylon. Course she is! She admitted it. Mental...
The cylon hybrid lied, i think. trust Kara, she rcks! -
MCT:February 13, 2008
Not so much a "movie" as an elongated episode of BSG. If you've seen Season 2, you don't really need to see this to keep up with the story, as it presents nothing really new. It does, however, flesh out Admiral Cain and other characters from the Pegasus by delving into a bit of their backstories.
It is a fine edition to the series and good viewing for any BSG fan. -
MCT:February 8, 2008
A very kickass "durquel" to the series (a "durquel" is what I call a story that takes place during the events of another. Everything with Pegasus in this TV movie takes place within the first two seasons of the show). Definately love the Unrated Extended cut. because it shows more that we weren't able to see on broadcast TV. Definately one of my favorite additions to my collection.

MCT:February 7, 2008
a lot of fun for fans, if you haven't watched the new show on scifi though you're misisng a lot of the plot (know b/c a friend who hadn't watched it w/ me)
-
MCT:February 1, 2008
Not Bad as a stand alone movie- Most of the stuff you see on this series is some of the best work on TV right now.
-
MCT:January 26, 2008Bleh. I tried to get into this thing but the lack of humor or tangible resting points is just unrealistic and boring. The story is decent enough but the execution is just sloppy.
