Battlestar Galactica - Razor Details

Awful

Like other reviewer, watched this on Sky One. Acting is generally OK, but nothing to write home about. The special effects are nothing special. But, like any sci-fi, it lives or dies on two things.

Relationships. Now this is where I must concede ignorance. Whilst I watched repeats of the old series, I haven't seen much of the remake. A devoted fan might think differently. To me, the characters were stereotypes-their emotions and motives were simple and unimaginative. At times the folk were caricature's of themselves.

Plot. First, what idiot thought they could have events going on in numerous different time slots? It's not that I got confused (the scriptwriters don't have the brains to do confusing). But it was disorientating enough that I lost all interest. Just as I was starting to get involved in a storyline, we'd move off elsewhere. Second, even in a sci-fi universe, events must be 'believable'. And these weren't.

Don't rent this. Certainly, whatever you do, don't even think about buying it. And whatever you do, don't encourage this nonsense! Axed shows like Firefly are so much more deserving.

A Must for BSG fans

This Mini-movie fill's in some further detail on the story of the Pegasus, and it's monstrous cammander Cain (Wonderfully acted). It also gives us some background on the young Adama, and we even get to see the original 'Toaster' Cylons.

There's not much new here, and if you don't know BSG it will be unfathomable, but it's well done, with some great special effects. There's also a neat twist which leads into series 4.
