DVD Synopsis

One of the most popular television series of the late '70s science fiction boom gets a new look for the new millennium in remake, created as a made-for-cable miniseries. Four decades after the Cylon Wars, the Cylon robots (some of whom have since assumed human form) have launched a vicious nuclear attack, leaving only a few Colonial forces to lead the survivors to safety. Led by starship commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) and politician and possible presidential successor Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell), the crew of the Battlestar Galactica searches the galaxy for the mythic 13th Colony of Kobol (otherwise known as Earth), their destination and only hope for survival. Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries also stars Jamie Bamber, James Callis, and Grace Park. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Alex S. from PHOENIX, AZ wrote on 9/1/2009...

Great miniseries!! I was hesitant at first because they changed the main characters around (Starbuck is now a woman, etc.). I am glad that I gave it a chance because this series, all 4 years of it, is going down in my book as one of the top 5 of all time (joining company with Firefly, Oz, Dexter and Quantum Leap).

The special effects are great, better than most big budget films (Star Wars to be exact). The acting is superb especially James Callis, Tricia Hefner & Edward James Olmos.

I definitely recommend this film and the subsequent series to any Sci-Fi fan and anyone who is interested in a great action flick that has good writing to go along with great action.
