This opening movie to the new series is utterly fantastic. If Sci-fi is your thing (and even if it's not), you really need to see this. Once you've watched it, expect to be eager to follow the story with the first, second, third and upcoming fourth series box sets, as well as another recent movie spin-off 'Battlestar Galactica: Razor'.

All I can say is: keep them coming... SUPERB!

My mate lent me this DVD and i was unsure, i cant stand star trek and other sci-fi drama stuff like that but this had me hooked.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and i didnt care that it was almost 3 hours long because it wasnt boring at any part.
I am absolutely going to see season 1 now because i have to know what happens next.
Oh and if i could build a Cylon robot like that one i would never leave the house! :)

While the acting might be wooden and the story seemingly made up as they went along, there is no stopping the great C.G.I and I only wished there were more huge battles, having this said, what a great little movie that simply wants any red blooded si fi fan gagging for more - on my wish list before they complete destroy all the good they have built up over the years with Battlestar, I can only wish they would make a BIG movie.
