Amazon.co.uk Review
How do you follow a show of the scale, magnitude and ambition of Battlestar Galactica? The answer, as demonstrated with Caprica, is that you don’t. Instead, you go down the prequel route and instead explore what happened in the same world, just decades before the events we’ve already seen.
It’s a fairly bold move, too, given that Caprica is inevitably going to draw Battlestar comparisons within minutes of the credits rolling for the first time. And the show’s creators aren’t shy about it, either. The language and some of the imagery of Battlestar are tattooed right through this extended pilot episode of Caprica, and it ultimately does the show no harm whatsoever.
That said, it’s not long before it’s heading off on its own path, and the story soon focuses on two families. There’s Daniel Graystone--played by Eric Stoltz--and his wife and daughter, a family dripping in wealth and importance. Then there are the street-smart Adamas, led by Joseph, along with his wife, daughter and son.
It takes a tragic event that puts the Graystones and Adamas on a collision course, and Caprica begins to address this expertly. With typically high production values, the events and ramifications of the pilot episode alone soon lead to a cliffhanger that’ll leave most Battlestar fans drooling. But fortunately, Caprica works well without that foreknowledge too, and emerges as a confident, mature piece of science fiction. Long may it continue… --Jon Foster
DVD Description
An astonishing breakthrough is taking shape on the planet Caprica. The rapidly evolving spheres of human and mechanical engineering have collided, along with the fates of two families. Joined by tragedy in an explosive instant of terror, two rival clans led by powerful patriarchs, Joseph Adama (Esai Morales, Jericho) and Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz, The Butterfly Effect), duel in an era of questionable ethics, corporate machinations and unbridled personal ambition as the final war for humanity looms.
The latest phenomenon from the executive producers of Battlestar Galactica (Ronald D. Moore and David Eick), set in a time over 50 years earlier, Caprica is entirely its own world – provocative, thrilling and startlingly relevant to our own.

very good pre-quel to the battlestar galactica series BUTTT my only complaint/annoyance is that i followed buying suggestions and bought Caprica the pilot PLUS Caprica the series only to find that the PILOT episode is in fact episode 1 of the first dvd in the series collection. I was not made aware of this and therefore have the same pilot episode twice

I love BSG and so was afraid that this wouldn't compare or that I would be disappointed. It was done in the classic BSG style. You start watching it and wonder what the heck is going on, and then suddenly everything falls in to place and you get the "lightbulb moment" the moment of revelation and it is FANTASTIC! It just left me excited and wanting more. Great dvd and well worth it if you love the BSG series. It really raises a lot of questions and I can not wait to watch the series of Caprica to find out what the answers are...

DONT BUY THIS!!!,
This review is from: Caprica: The Feature Length Pilot [DVD] (DVD)
Whatever you do don't buy this DVD it is a total waist of your money "Caprica" is fantastic so please don't think i am moaning about the film because im not. But i brought this thinking it was the first part of the series and the other box sets came after..... I was wrong! You don't need to buy this.......... just buy the first box set and this is included in that! I am so annoyed, its very misleading as many other people have made the same mistake as well.
