Battlestar GalacticaBy Andrew Wright
Star Wars meets Wagon Train as a futuristic flotilla of
ragtag explorers search for a mysterious savior planet known only as
"Earth," while being pursued by the dreaded Cylons (cybernetic
tin-can baddies with vocal patterns that closely resemble a Speak &
Spell game). This
theatrical feature culled from the first and fourth episodes of the
fondly remembered TV show is hilariously dated (the preponderance of
polyester outfits and astrology motifs have the unfortunate effect of
making the future look like an giant interstellar singles bar), but that
only adds to the retro charm. An irresistibly cheesy blast from the past
for Gen-X nostalgia-hounds, with impressive visuals by effects legend John
Dykstra and a special appearance by teenybopper guru Rick Springfield.

I heard they were doing a new series that was to air January of 2002 and we still haven't seen it. I know the shows creator pitched a new movie with a different Battlestar and at the same time Richard "Apollo" Hatch mortgaged his home to do a 4 minute trailer of a new movie idea he had for Battlestar Galactica. I really liked the show and would like to see a remake in a movie version, but with all the surviving cast members. When Galactice 1980 came out we all wondered what happen to all the great warriors from the show and they never really touched on what happened to Apollo, Boomer or Jolly. They did do an episode about Starbuck, but it wasn't what we hoped for. --Mikelly | Note: This is just a random sample of the Battlestar Galactica messages in our TV forums!
