Battlestar Galactica: Razor

I thought it would be boring, but somehow I Iiked it most out of everything BSG related. I immidiately fell in love with Shaw. Also old characters from the show seem to be more consistent here.

It's been 15 years since its premiere, and for a TV movie and sci-fi genre, the movie has hardly aged.

After the mini series pilot this is probably my favorite thing to come from the newer series. Excellent use of the old cylons and ships. I like them better than the CGI ones. Great story, great cast. By your command.

A Sci-Fi Channel special event, _Battlestar Galactica: Razor_ is a thrilling, action-packed adventure. When Lee Adama takes command of the Battlestar _Pegasus_ he chooses Kendra Shaw, a protégé of the late Admiral Cain who’s haunted by the things she and the _Pegasus_ crew have done to survive the war with the Cylons, to be his XO and help restore the crew’s dignity and honor. Stephanie Jacobsen gives an excellent performance, making Shaw one of the most compelling characters of the series, and Michelle Forbes returns to reprise her role as Admiral Cain. Most of _Battlestar Galactica_’s main cast make appearances, and there are subtle references to several Season 2 episodes that place the story in context. Unfortunately the CGI isn’t up to the film’s ambitious vision, as some of the Cylon Centurions and space ships are a little video game graphicy. Still, the action sequences are intense and exciting, and the writers do a good job at interweaving the backstories into the main plot. _Battlestar Galactica: Razor_ is a powerful sci-fi drama that enriches the series and fills-in some of the missing pieces.

Yeah, well... not bad but also not as good as the first season!

decent movie. not the greatest ever, but enjoyable storyline. (7/10)

Film that give more depth to fan favorites and long-dead characters. It has the usual good editing, directing, writing and acting that the series had and deliver a lot of action. A lot of continuity and plot points from several seasons of TV make this inaccessible to other than fans and the fate of the "new character" is easy to predict.

I watched it years after watching the show. I forgot a great deal but it was not necessary to get the movie. Other than that, great movie.
