Battlestar Galactica - The Miniseries

Pros: lots of action, excellent soundtrack and effects, excellent storylines, superb cast

Cons: use of sexual situations, language, and use of paganistic religion may put off some

The Bottom Line: BSG grows up and gives us one heck of a ride. Strap yourself in and prepare for liftoff.

Review: ~~~~The premise~~~ Though it lasted only a single season in the late 1970’s, the original Battlestar Galactica remained a cult favourite across the following years, with repeats, lunchboxes, T-shirts, and more. It was therefore with great trepidation ...

Pros: Character driven, serial story line, fantastic effects, really makes you think.

Cons: Stories my resemble real world events that are disturbing.

Review: I watched the original Battlestar Galactica and enjoyed it. However, the series has been reborn and cast into a fantastic new look into the lives and struggles portrayed in this classic saga. Pitting a new breed of Cylons that now act and appear so ...

Pros: acting, effects, story

Cons: a couple of huge changes hard to swallow for fans of the original series

The Bottom Line: A great start to a series that has garnered praise across the board.

Review: I'll be showing my age here, but the Or iginal Battlestar Galactica was probably my favorite television show ever, short-lived as it was. When the new series was announced I was skeptical. There had been noises made on ...

Pros: Effects, story, drama...none of the cheesiness of the 70's series...

Cons: People might pass this by because of the original

The Bottom Line: Where the heck is Earth?

Review: I was a child of "Star Wars." That's pretty obvious with an Epinions moniker like "JediKermit." And even when I was a pup, I could see that "Battlestar Galactica" was just a "Star Wars" ripoff. My next door neighbor Greg liked the tv show a lot ...

Pros: Great story and effects

Cons: A little slow at times

The Bottom Line: It's a great science fiction show with a wonderful story. I can't wait to watch the rest of the series.

Review: I never saw the original Battlestar Galactica series, and am only vaguely familiar with it. However, I’ve been interested in this latest updated series for some time, but never took the time to sit down and watch until just recently. The ...

Pros: good acting and effects, interesting story

Cons: hard to follow at first, extremely depressing

The Bottom Line: Depressing but engaging, it's probably worth a look for most sci-fi fans.

Review: I grew up watching Star Trek, both the original series and the Next Generation, and later Star Wars, so I consider myself a pretty solid science fiction fan, but I don't get the SciFi network, so there are a lot of science fiction shows out ...

Pros: A very well done homage to the original while breaking away

Cons: NA

Review: Well, many of us didn't expect much from the new Battlestar Galactica. This is because we don't expect a lot from the sci-fi channel. We were wrong, The new Battlestar Galactica blows away the original series by a mile! And, I'm a guy who had the ...
