 Battlestar Galactica review Product Description
Following a vicious and unprovoked sneak attack by the Cylons and the villainous Count Baltar which destroys most of civilization, the last Battlestar, "Galactica", and a small fleet of ships must journey to a new world, Earth, in order to survive.
This feature-length pilot episode of the sci-fi series introduces viewers to a band of intergalactic warriors struggling to protect an Earth-bound flotilla against the bloodthirsty Cylons.
Universal, the producers of "Battlestar Galactica," were sued by 20th Century-Fox, who contended that the series was just a little too similar to the Fox production "Star Wars."
This film is adapted from a television series that aired on ABC from September 17, 1978, to August 17, 1980. The first and fifth episodes of the series were edited into this theatrical feature film. Taken together, the two episodes ran 148 minutes, without commercials, while the film runs 125 minutes. ...See Full Description

| great all time sci fi classic
This was the one that started it all. the story is so good. this how the new show should of went not with the cylons looking like humans and all the drama and darkness in it now. This cast and crew need the credit for takeing sci fi to the next level. I miss the old show. The new show is too dark there is no hope like in the old show the warriors were good guys and they had so much going for them. For the new show I give it a pass they break up the seasons with this 4.0 and 4.5 crap.Give me a break. Just like the new treks they miss the mark totally. At least this one will be around for a long long time. To bad they haven't come out with new effects or hd like they did for trek. Hopefully they will do that in the future.

| Great science fiction!
We saw this great movie when we were teenagers and we still love it. Our 12 year old daughter loved it, too. She was already a fan of Star Wars, but now she is also a new fan of Battlestar Galactica. The story is great, the music, the special effects and the characters are great, too. We highly recommend this movie to everyone who loves science fictions.

| Old school sci fi
I was watching this when I was a teenager. Just when they started to use special effects. Campy for the times but, it was still good.

Boy I gotta tell ya, this one sure brings back fond memories.... this was a favorite when I was a teen and it still is to this day. The special effects are comparable to anything today... just not as sophisticated in the CGI areas naturally.... storyline is top notch and the characters are all equally lovable... If spacea dventure on the open spaceways is your bag baby! Get it while the gettins good!! A big thumbs WAY UP!

| Great Sci-Fi
A fun movie unfairly compared to Star Wars. The Galactica vipers resembled the X-Wings from Star Wars, but Galactica was much darker than Star Wars. Most of the special effects hold up more than twenty years later and the music is fantastic.
