Powerful

Brilliant and touching

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The first must-see film of the year.

Really glad to see William Adama get his origin story told. I got to see the BTS of the making of the show and was so surprised they had to do the whole movie green screen. They didn't have any of the props so they had to remake what they could. Just blown away by the effort put into this film and had to give it a 10 stars based on this.

After watching Caprica this is quite a letdown. It seemed that half the movie was CGI, the other half top-gun-ish a boy and his machine.Oh yeah, boys and girls shower together! Every adolescent boys' wet dream. Character development? Uh not really. If I recall correctly Uncle Scrooge comics of the 1950's had more of such.But not to be a total loss, the CGI was rather good.

"Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome" is a nice Sci-Fi TV Movie which has to do with a battle between machines and robots against the humans. I liked this movie because of the special visual effects and for the plot of it.Luke Pasqualino who plays as William Adama a very good pilot who is getting involved in the First Cylon War. He makes a really nice interpretation and at the start of this movie his acting reminds me a little bit Tom Cruise in the Top Gun movie. I also liked the interpretation of Ben Cotton who plays as Coker Fasjovik the co-pilot of William Adama in the war.Finally I want to tell you that this movie is a really nice movie to spend your time on it because it makes you feel how is to be in a space war and a pilot on it...

I have to admit that I never really liked the Battlestar Galactica reboot. I also have to admit that I was so put off by some of the early episodes that I stopped watching it so I do not really know if it got any better (from my point of view) than those first episodes. I probably should make the effort some day and watch it in its entirety. Anyway, my oldest son is as much a Science Fiction fan as I am though and I knew he would want to watch it so when I saw this one coming out in "movie format" on Amazon I bought it.For a webseries I have to say that it was quite okay. Using Blu-ray as a media was rather wasted though. A lot of the scenes are very harsh and seemed overexposed. In the beginning almost every scene is full of flares and blooms from various light spots. Maybe this was intended but I certainly did not like it. It looked like it had been shot using very cheap equipment. The CGI is also not the best but it is a webseries after all so you would not really expect it to be top notch in these areas.As for the movie itself. It was quite okay. Especially in the beginning when they were actually out in space flying around. In the latter half of the movie the three main characters got stuck down on a planet. This part I was not so thrilled about. On the whole the movie is a nice little action adventure and, luckily, there is not too much of the soap opera style bullshit that I felt had taken over the reboot. Instead it is a simple and straightforward adventure.Sure there is the usual we-have-to-negotiate person that tries to screw things up. I just do not understand why they just have to put some idiot like that into the movies or episodes all the time? They Cylons have proved time after time that they are out to exterminate the human race and nothing else. Just fight them and be done with it. Anyway, most of the movie is good straightforward adventure and action.
