Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

tomasajdari So.... apparently there was no plan, the final 5 and many copies of Cylon agents ended up in the fleet due to "bad luck", a 1:10^70 chance or worse (How/why the hell he planted 3 copies of no. 6 into the human population when the mission of Caprica 6 was that important is beyond me.. and 2 copies of no. 6 on Galactica? Do the humans have eyes?). Brother Cavil can take Elen from the planet via a raptor into the fleet but can not shoot her or bring biological weapons in teeth/clothes there because reasons... or nukes... you know.. fake colonial raptors....(and look at the miniseries - now we know that he had real time picture of the colonial solar system...so he allowed the fleet to form and forgot about doing that in a minute....+ Ragnar....or ... oh yes, coincidence) He can orchestrate the downfall of an entire civilization, has an armada so strong that it can kill and cremate 50 billion people in a day but he can't manage basic things. Unbelievable. In the end.. wait for it... God did it all.

Oracle1 It's been already said by others here but this film is terrible. I'm a big fan of the series, everything up until the last 7 or so episodes following the mutiny storyline. This film is a waste of fans' time and would be completely incomprehensible to new audiences. It's basically providing unnecessary exposition covering moments we already inferred must have taken place in some form but in the clumsiest of fashions in order to fit it into this cobbled together mess of a film. It's also trying to provide post hoc spackle to the plot holes created by the fact that the writers promised a plan but because of procrastination, never actually thought one up. So it's trying desperately to reconcile the first two seasons with the revelations of the final season.Basically, it's a lot of recycled footage from the first two seasons separated by moments we never saw around them that are all the same thing, Cavil telling other Cylons to do the things we already know they do from having watched the show. Why did Doral blow himself up in season 1? Because Cavil told him to? Why did that 6 emerge to try and discredit Baltar in season 1? Because Cavil told her to because, as we already knew, Baltar's Cylon detector was a threat? The only answers here are to the questions we already knew the answers to. What a waste! As someone already said here, the plan is simply kill the humans. Then when some survived, the new plan was kill the surviving humans. Genius. Hard to believe such a complex plan could fail. It's sad because during the first two seasons, the Cylons were incredibly menacing. Eventually, the writers knew they had to demystify them and they did, only their choices for the Cylons were never as interesting as the audience could imagine. And in this film, it gets worse because the once menacing Cylons are exposed to be nothing but failures who couldn't do anything right.At least Razor was a self-contained film that expanded upon the world of the series and offered new and interesting insights into characters like Admiral Cain. This film on the other hand is pure crap.

tl12 I was a great fan of the series and bought the DVD's as soon as they were available.This, however, was a real let down. It was almost more like a budget saving "clip show" than a movie. There was nothing new, no revelations, no finally uncovered PLAN. It was just a rehash of everything you knew before.It was nice to see Edward James Olmos direct again and there were some new scenes (heavily mixed with clips).I'm certain there are some great movies that could be made based on the series. Unfortunately this was not one of them.

hiigarasjet Let me open this review with simply....FRAK-TAKULAR But this review will probably get bombed with negativity...It's a good 107 minutes worth of interesting back story that was never covered in the series. The Plan shows us the cylon point of view from just before the attacks on the colonies up until toward the end of the second season of battlestar galactica...I will stay clear of giving too much away...it's filled with dark humor and sexual humor but it's all in good fun. Most hardcore BSG fans out there will either cringe or swoon over this movie I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was just an extension of Battlestar Galactica!...I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen the full series...!Everyone wants to find something to complain about from board posts and negative reviews..I give this 10 stars with the advice of, "Ignore all reviews and go in watch it without any expectations"So get some pop corn and your favorite cylon plush toy and sit back and enjoy!
