Star Wars meets Wagon Train as a futuristic flotilla of ragtag explorers search for a mysterious savior planet known only as 'Earth,' while being pursued by the dreaded Cylons (cybernetic tin-can baddies with vocal patterns that closely resemble a Speak & Spell game). This theatrical feature culled from the first and fourth episodes of the fondly remembered TV show is hilariously dated (the preponderance of polyester outfits and astrology motifs have the unfortunate effect of making the future look like an giant interstellar singles bar), but that only adds to the retro charm. An irresistibly cheesy blast from the past for Gen-X nostalgia-hounds, with impressive visuals by effects legend John Dykstra and a special appearance by teenybopper guru Rick Springfield. --Andrew Wright

This is great family sci-fi movie. The movie is action packed with a great story line and very good actors. Lorne Greene is perfect in the role of Adama, the leader of the surviving human colony. I highly recommend this video for anyone who loves a great science fiction movie. The effects are great and the cast is superb. I believe it to be much better than the new version that is on television right now.

Rating: - The original series' pilot. Well, the theatrical version anyway.
They made three versions of this. They made a 3-hour television version (Included with the series), a 3-part television version, and a 2-hour theatrical version. This is the theatrical version. The main difference is that in this version Baltar is killed. In the TV versions he lives. Also some scenes have been edited out of this version in order to make it shorter. But there is one scene that is included in this version that's not included in the TV versions for fear of being too violent. Apart from ... Read More

Rating: - 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
