4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Sci Fi, 3 Dec 2005
When I first bought this I hadnt watched it since I was a small child, Im part of the Star Wars generation. From what I remembered this was top stuff. Set in another part of the Galaxy a race of humans is almost exterminated by the evil robot Cylons and forced to flee in the form of a rag tag fleet, under the protction of the last surviving military vehicle The Battlestar Galactica.

At first I found it hard to watch, the special effects are a bit dated, but I have to admit that despite the same library shots being used again and again throughout the series, I did enjoy it. The acting isnt great, but there is real chemistry between Apollo and Starbuck. The strories arent great either, there were various problems in production that resulted in scripts being written over night and actors receiving scripts an hour before shooting, but the series does get better as it goes on.

The special features are good, theres a great documentry that highlights what a tragedy it was that this show was cancelled so early. With a huge cult following it is easy to see what is great about this short lived TV series, ignore the terrible hair cuts and seventies decor, this is great Sci Fi stuff.

If youre a fan its worth paying the extra for this Cylon head box set, there are no more special features, but it looks well cool in your collection!

4.0 out of 5 stars A DVD of galactic proportions, 27 Jan 2004
Battlestar Galactica must be one of the few sci-fi series to only last 24 episodes but still mantain a loyal following over 20 years after it's first showing. So much so that the Sci-Fi Channel have just made a new version of the show for the new millennium.

The show had it's fair share of big name celebrities too including Fred Astaire and Lloyd Bridges. And the whole cast seem to have had fun making it, as shown in the excellent 45 minute documentary included here as a bonus.

And for those of us who know the episodes inside and out there are over 2 hours of deleted scenes.

It's annoying that the audio commentaries that were on the US Region 1 DVD haven't made their way across the Atlantic but I'm happy to see this excellent series on DVD in the UK.

But you could save yourself a tenner by buying the standard version. This "Special Edition" consists of a large silver box with a plastic Cyclon's head stuck to it. And that's it. The DVDs are the same as the standard issue. Then you can use the tenner to buy the soundtrack CD to listen to while you watch the music-less picture gallery. Just a thought.

2.0 out of 5 stars I'd forgotten how good it was, 8 Nov 2004
By A Customer
Amazing series, and it comes in a cool box! However, at £86 it's a bit extortionate considering you're paying £40 extra to have a box shaped like a cylon, and that's all you're getting extra, the box! Still, if your diehard enough to want it then by all means, but I'd go for the normal box myself

Well, they have finally realised how cool Battlestar Galactica was. It never made as big of a splash as Star Trek but believe me it has a cult following. Read more
