christian view of battlestar

this movie is a prime example of the age old fight between the forces of good and evil.Much as we face in our lives every day just wish it would have made referance to God instead of the lords of cobal May 5, 2008

BATTLESTAR FANS

IF YOU WHERE/ARE A FAN OF THE ORIGINAL BATTLESTAR SERIES THEN THIS IS A MUST FOR YOU..... THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 2 PART THAT GOT THE SERIES GOING. THIS IS WHAT MADE ME GO OUT AND GET A VCR BACK IN THE LATE 70'S SO I COULD RECORD IT... GLAD IT WAS VHS AND NOT BETA!!!! March 4, 2008

The very first Galactica

Success of the Star Wars in 1976 made similarly styled space operas flourish. In Japan, Uchu Senkan Yamato known to US as "Star Blazers" returned to life in late 70s after 1974 original TV series lost the viewing rate battle against "Heidi" by Japanese anime giants such as Takahata and Miyazaki. The battlestar galactica in 1978 is an enjoyable classic styled space opera somewhat close to Star Blazers or Star Trek series. As recent series of BATTLESTAR TV series show it is characterized by attractive female characters which definitely provides a bunch of episodes for TV drama. A bit of letdown is the ultimate randevous with terrestirians are not shown in the movie and that's part of the weak spot for the script settings.

80s rock fans should not miss the first tragetic part featuring RICK SPRINGFIELD as ZAC. And Noah Hathaway who would later become famous as ATREYU in NEVERENDING STORY also appears as BOXEY who lost beloved dog and was given a robot dog instead.

Verdict: Enjoyable and entertaining. The tech of intergalactic travel not much shown (just as spaceholding technology or that of warp).
Rating: 86 out of 100
Recommended for: Casual sci-fi fans who love Star Trek or Star Blazer series. But I am not so sure if Star Wars or Dune fans also love this or not. February 23, 2008

One of the best movies to follow on Star Wars' coattails

Many people know about the Battlestar Galactica TV show on the Sci-Fi network. This movie, from 1980, is based on the original miniseries that started it all. Bearing little relation to the current show besides some shared names and major plot concept, it's an entertaining science fiction adventure story replete with charming scamps, evil enemies, devil-may-care heroes, and headstrong ladies.
