Reviews for Battlestar Galactica
With strictly tele-standard acting, straightforward space opera plot, grandiose sentiment and slushy love interest, it's really only meat for genre fans.
A Star Wars clone for the boob tube crowd that never quite captured the imagination or originality that an ambitious sci-fi showcase should exude so effortlessly.
High concept, low budget. Not looking forward to the SciFi channel 'reinterpretation'.
The plot is as old as it gets and merely serves to get a group of people aimlessly lost in space.
