My introduction to the Battlestar Galactica franchise. I was never a fan of these sci-fi TV series growing up, the cheap decors and schmaltzy plots were pretty off-putting. I was hoping for something extra, seeing as this is basically two feature films stuck together, but that turned out to be idle hope.
The sets are cheap, the CG is hideous, and the cast is C-grade. It's clear that on-screen action had to be avoided as much as possible, the characters are bland and unsympathetic though and the plot is as basic as it gets. They could've told this story in two TV episodes, it's a shame they dragged it out to a 3-hour crapfest.
