Freaktana A Major Disappointment

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Dennis Laursen I would start to say, that if you intent to watch this movie as a standalone, you will probably not get that much out of it. This movie is related to the remake of Battlestar Galactica from 2004, and are best watched after the main show. However, you will, IMO, not get that much out of the movie anyway.If you, like me, thought that BSG: B&C will be a movie that tells more about the reasons and motives behind the first Cylon war, and will keep the original BSG atmosphere and spirit, you will be greatly disappointed. The movie don't have any from the original crew (actors, writers, directors and such) in the movie, and it seems more like a bad spin off/fan-fiction to BSG, than a worthy prologue. And the movie don't tell anything about the first Cylon war, and the only use this as a setting for a (dull) plot.The plot in the movie is a young William Adama who are going on a "milk-run", which in short time turns out to be a secret mission. But the plot is bad and full of holes, the characters motivation to do what they do are unresolved, and the movie feels long, in spite of that it last less than 1½ hours.

fullheadofsteam Rating this T.V. production on visuals (set decoration, special effects, lighting, etc.), this flick would rate a 10. Where it falls apart as a total work, however, is casting (completely wrong lead actor, English-accent challenged and mismatched in age lead actress) and, sadly, story borrowed from sources other than Battlestar Galactica (for example, reinventing Terminator elements and themes). Some snappy dialogue in the beginning, which devolves into stereotypical soap opera claptrap. And you can't even imagine how terrible the big 'love' scene is...it is to barf. Lastly, it must be said that the dialogue frequency of the word 'frack', used instead of 'fuck', or 'fracking' instead of 'fucking', is so awful as to change every mood where the word is used into the most awful depths of chalkboard nail-screesching pain or, alternately, giddy hysteria.

deydreamer IT SUCKED 1. Lens Flares, yeah we all love Andrew Kramer and the Knolls Light Factory but this is overboard. 2. The entire plot revolves around getting the Doctor Lady to the Cylon Relay station. A task that apparently a raptor can do in under an hour when it rescues husker. 3. They are ditched by the other pilot who apparently thinks he can fly home to see his kid even though he is in a Viper, not a raptor. Vipers don't have FTL drives so he is kinda fracked on that account. 4. They Fleet trusts the entire mission to a rookie pilot, a short timer and a known traitor. Ummm bullsh*t! The entire WAR is resting on this mission, why send the tiny ship there to deploy the mission when you have like 4 fracking battle star just playing dead that could go there and ensure it's a success! FRACK just send in that rap-tor at the end, apparently its got the secret back way into the base to ensure it's a success. 5. The love scene is worthless and should have been scrapped in order to progress the other parts of the story along. frack this reboot.

charmyshoz Why do so many haters and over criticizing critics post their disappointment about inane factors? It is great to see Galatica getting back on the screen. For love of the concept and story, true admirers have to give spin-offs their due chance. Thrace was not the best of actors/characters but that did not repel me from the series in the least. If one wonders why so many SyFy TV shows don't make it past the first season, leaving so many people complaining about canceling all the good shows, it is because the few over voiced haters that don't give things a chance just because they are different flood site like these with aggressive, negative comments making timid Producers chickens. I am sure there are others out there like me excited just to hear the word Cylon. Jumpy at the thought of another war of the Gods. Maybe I just love them all because I love Science Fiction and love stories of imagination so I could be wrong but whose to argue if one never gives it a real chance to take off. What do you hear? Nothing but the rain! Is what we should be longing for again.
