Amazon.co.uk Review

Let’s get straight to the point: bar none, Battlestar Galactica is the best science fiction television programme currently showing. In fact, let’s go further. It’s the best of the last decade. And truthfully? You’d find very few sci-fi fans who’d disagree.

What’s more, plenty of people must be busy eating their words, too. Back when it was announced that Battlestar Galactica was being revived, feelings were mixed, not helped by the divided reaction to the mini-series that kickstarted this iteration of the show. Yet over the past couple of years, it’s cleverly proven to be a tense, gripping mix of action and drama, with a tightly-woven plot.

This third season? It’s arguably the best so far. A delicious soup of mystery, relevations, actions, striking characters and winding narrative, Battlestar Galactica is also served superbly well by a quality cast, some quality special effects, and a real focus on what matters from behind the camera.

As usual, there are no spoilers in this review, although it’s not giving much away to say that the deadly cylons have to share the screen time with some intriguing and revealing character development this time round. And with word that season four of the revived Battlestar Galactica will be the last, things are set up for a terrific final act.

Season three of the show though is extraordinarily good, a real, genuine sci-fi classic that’s going to have one mighty shelf life once this particularly iteration of the programme has gone. And with umpteen surprises to go back and check out, it’s never likely to be one to gather dust on the shelf, either. --Jon Foster

Synopsis

Battlestar Galactica balances its striking special effects with character-driven drama and social commentary to create a show that's both entertaining and relevant. This critical favourite from Ronald D. Moore (Star Trek: The Next Generation) re-imagines the cult series from the 1970s with a new cast and more impressive villains. It also eschews the sunny outlook of Star Trek in favor of a darker vision of space and humanity as it comments on issues such as terrorism and civil liberties. Androids called Cylons have massacred billions of people, leaving only a small group of survivors. Led by Oscar nominees Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, the human fleet searches for a mythical planet called Earth as they evade the Cylons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Continues to show its excellence, 3 Nov 2007
By D. M. York (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)   
Battlestar Galactica is in my opinion the finest science-fiction television series that presently exists, being a hardcore fan of the genre it takes a lot to be able to come out with such a comment, since I have been watching sci-fi television series for as long as I can remember. In the space of a year, from when I first saw the pilot episode Battlestar Galactica has become my absolute favourite television programme, bar none.

Series three picks up the torch from the end of series two and continues to take the show in brilliant new directions. For the first time since the very beginning the show begins to feature story lines that show a great deal of relevance towards the modern day, featuring stories about suicide bombings as well as "terrorism" from a perspective that is quite alien to a western audience. Character development continues to get better and better, finally managing to look at the relationship of Apollo and Starbuck without teasing the audience in the way that the previous series have.

All I can say is that I am not sure how patient I can be to await the release of series four, especially since I watched the entirety of series three in the space of a week. I seriously cannot recommend Battlestar Galactica strongly enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Season 3: Another great installment, 17 Sep 2007
By SHANN "SHANN" (England, London) - See all my reviews
Having read the other reviews online I was a bit unsure about spending circa £40 on this season. However, having taken the risk I believe it is money very well spent. The writing remains superb, the CGI (particularly in space) is very good but this series really brings great depth to both the plot (and all the sub plots) plus the key characters involved. I can't help but think that some of the other reviews really miss the point when they say there is lots of pointless episodes. Each episode bares relevance in one of 3 ways - 1. a different perspective of life on ship, 2. character development and 3. developing the inter twining plots with progressing the overall story. Admittedly, there are a few episodes which are slow moving and feel a little like buffer but they still deliver what this franchise is now well known for, great writing with a real edge. The cliff hanger is fairly predictable but never the less executed in great style with a really dark feel. A thoroughly enjoyable drama which I believe has blown its sci fi competition away. Season 3 is worth the money and I cannot wait for the 4th season although (and I believe rightly) it is supposed to be the last....

5.0 out of 5 stars Not enough words to describe it's genius, 21 Aug 2007
By B. C. P. Howl "howlbill" (birmingham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I can't believe that people are slating this show. It is far and away the best thing on television at the moment - and this comes from a student who watches a lot of quality tv! Yes it may have changed somewhat from the story-arc format from the other two series (although season 4 apparantly will return to this) but a show has to change if it wants to remain consistently good. The first part, on New Caprica, is breathtaking, the search for earth reaches new levels and everyone I know agrees the finale cliff-hanger is probably the best bit of script-writing for a very long time. Get it. You have to.
