Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Let’s get straight to the point: bar none, Battlestar Galactica is the best science fiction television programme currently showing. In fact, let’s go further. It’s the best of the last decade. And truthfully? You’d find very few sci-fi fans who’d disagree. What’s more, plenty of people must be busy eating their words, too. Back when it was announced that Battlestar Galactica was being revived, feelings were mixed, not helped by the divided reaction to the mini-series that kickstarted this iteration of the show. Yet over the past couple of years, it’s cleverly proven to be a tense, gripping mix of action and drama, with a tightly-woven plot. This third season? It’s arguably the best so far. A delicious soup of mystery, relevations, actions, striking characters and winding narrative, Battlestar Galactica is also served superbly well by a quality cast, some quality special effects, and a real focus on what matters from behind the camera. As usual, there are no spoilers in this review, although it’s not giving much away to say that the deadly cylons have to share the screen time with some intriguing and revealing character development this time round. And with word that season four of the revived Battlestar Galactica will be the last, things are set up for a terrific final act. Season three of the show though is extraordinarily good, a real, genuine sci-fi classic that’s going to have one mighty shelf life once this particularly iteration of the programme has gone. And with umpteen surprises to go back and check out, it’s never likely to be one to gather dust on the shelf, either. --Jon Foster Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Let the Battlestar commence!I missed the entire Battlestar Glactica oeuvre when it came out (indeed the original series as well) but read so many reviews about the allegorical sophistication of BG, I thought I'd better check it out. The obvious place to start is the 2004 mini-series, assembled on DVD as a three-hour feature (and selling for less than four quid on Amazon as I write). Aficionados claim the series doesn't get into its stride until later, but this was for me an impressive opener. The human species is attacked by the Cylons, a robot-race that comes in two distinctive designs; toaster-on-legs and hot, hot humanoid. Thanks to some sexy treachery involving the latter, the human defences are annihilated leaving a rag-bag of refugee vessels, clustered round the ... Read More: Rating: - Clever, Clever Toasters...This is a fantastic pilot for a remake of an old 80s sci-fi series where it's ditched the lycra and lasers for grit and realism. It's quite a grim tale featuring flawed and desperate people thrown together into the worst situation they can possibly image. The complete annihilation of their species. It seems that the crazy killer robot Cylons (nick named toasters) have a sinister agenda to go along with their new and disturbing make over. Nothing is resolved in this pilot. This is just setting up the main plot and introducing the characters, but it is a fantastic beginning to an equally fantastic new series. Definitely not one to miss. Highly recommended! Rating: - Brilliant on all levels!I had never seen the original Battlestar Galactica and watched this mini series because it was cheap and I saw it had reasonable reviews. BSG is now my favorite TV show. The characters are complex and believable, the story is dark yet superbly told and the show combines stellar acting with some fantastic action sequences. As a whole the series manages to be compelling in many ways. The music and CGI are top notch and the wonderful cast add depth to every issue that gets raised and many are. This is no black and white story as it hinted at in the mini series and it is astounding how deep it all gets while never losing sight of the struggles of the amazingly well defined and diverse characters. The mini series itself was the first ... Read More: Rating: - A Worthy Re-Imagining of a Classic Sci-Fi Show.The Only other successful Re-Imagining of a Classic Show other than this is DOCTOR WHO. But BATTLESTAR GALACTICA has done well as a sci-fi drama kicking the original out of the Galaxy. A True Representation of Television made good. When I first heard of it i thought "Yet again, They'll screw it up." But the New version grabbed me from the Pre Title on the Miniseries right until the Cliffhanger. starting on the First Season Currently then moving on to seasons 2 & 3 (Already Seen RAZOR - Not a Bad Film). some of the many things this version has over the original is the fact that the Galactica is a ship that was meant to be put in mothballs. The shocks that are through the whole story. But the thing I love most ... Read More: Rating: - Favourite TV for years!If you have not seen any of the recent remaking of BSG, then I wholly recommend you watch this first! The 'mini-series' is basically the introduction to this wonderful remaking. As a kid in the early eighties the original BSG was one of my favourites and a remaking is like a dream come true. It really is sci-fi of top drawer quality. It does take itself quite seriously, but I like that and can get put off by other sci-fi shows that are quite tongue-in-cheek. The characters are great and the special effects are also awesome. Highly recommended. |
