Personally I dont like the look of it, they changed the entire story to fit in one good actionpacked movie.

1. Humans didnt create the Cylons, there was an elder race that created the Cylons that supposedly died off (which actually didnt, but lead the Cylons in secret).

2. There were no humanoid Cylons until series #2 (Battlestar Galactica 1985) and then there was only one, the rest were more gold leader type cylons.

3. Fighter pilots were all men untill the need for a backup force arose later on in the series.

Its just too contradictory to be good to me anymore. Like George Lucas making a Star Trek movie or vice versa...

It looks like it might make a good action movie... just not one that stands with the rest of the series.

Actually... is this a remake of the original movie, or a new TV series based on the original?

Correct but even though some things are contradicting I still think it will be good.

Never saw the original much, so i'll be completely mislead, and happily, by this newer one.

I don't care for the whole new Cylon twist. I prefer the old Imperius Leader, the puppet Baltar, Lucifer and Co.


I do like the fact that they kept the look of the Viper and the Cylon warship.

*wonders about the Galactica itself and Base Star*



I had thought that there was a Battlestar Galactic movie in the works. Did they decide to just make it into a miniseries for Sci Fi?

When does it start? I'll take a look.


BTW: Galactica 1980 sucked. I am a fan of the original.
