This is a science fiction golden oldie. If you are a fan of the new Battlestar Galactica you have to watch this. It is from the original sereis circa 1978.

I wish someone would release a high budget sci-fi using models like they did in the old days instead of using CGI frikken everything

I always loved the smart-ass cylon centurions 0:18 "apparently it was not as big a surprise as we had hoped for"

I watched the Premiere of the Original Battlestar Galactica in September 1978. Was that really 33 Years ago ! I recall it was on at 7 pm against the Premiere of Dumbo. We had a battle against what channel to watch ! I lost. I watched the first 45 Min of Dumbo then switched to Galactica. First scene I saw was the scene with the Green lighting in the Freighter. Then it was Cut into by either Football or a News Program. Galactica got pushed on that Night. The Saga Began for me that Sunday Night.

New movie? Based on the original Battlestar Galactica? When is this expected to open?

[zetamafia911]

[SuperSaiyanAl]

So....why did I have to watch that again?

I can't wait for the new movie based on the original and only Battlestar Galactica.

Personally I think its unfair to compare the two. The original is a classic Space Opera, a swashbuckling adventure with a wide age range on their audience. And I love the sci-fi retro element.

As for the new series being too fast. Well thats a matter of opinion, what I see in the series is more human elements. Death, life, characters with shifting moral cores and almost real consequences to actions.

For me, I sort of prefer the new series, nothing personal but I found the new series more real.

This was state of the art of its time. The first movie had the same budget as the original Star Wars. I love this because, unlike the new BG, it showed how real solders behave during time of war. They show respect for family and rank. But most of all they don't waste their time moping around complaining about the enemy, relation ships and politics. Ask any soldier and they would tell you they laugh, play games, drink and joke. If they did not they would all go mad.
