    Supelice Dreadfully Boring
    Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
    Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
    Mojo Jomo As a non 'fan-boy' of the series, although having seen the original series several times, I have only seen Razor, The Plan & Blood & Chrome of the new series - B & C being the most recent.Frankly, I was not impressed, especially when compared to Razor. It suffers from some really juvenile script-writing, in fact the entire plot is a bit silly and unbelievable. On the one hand, we have the Cylon force, although capable of decimating an entire Resistance fleet, is then incapable of downing a single slow-as-hell bucket of a ship - all because of the remarkable flying prowess of our 'hero'. Who incidentally, is annoying as hell! Sure, he's supposed to be cocky, but it comes across as just poor acting.The 'twist' at the end is equally unbelievable as well.What really gets my goat is all the 9/10 star-ratings for this poorly written offering. It's pointless rating something like this as deserving 10-stars, as it masks what is truly good from a prospective viewers perspective. For instance, Razor is much better than B & C, yet these inflated reviews would have you believe that they are equally good. Even The Plan is much better than B & C, having a much more thought-provoking script - less CG graphics but a better story line overall.So, while C & S is not a total loss, it is definitely sub-par in comparison and in no way deserving of 10-star reviews.
    Dennis Laursen I would start to say, that if you intent to watch this movie as a standalone, you will probably not get that much out of it. This movie is related to the remake of Battlestar Galactica from 2004, and are best watched after the main show. However, you will, IMO, not get that much out of the movie anyway.If you, like me, thought that BSG: B&C will be a movie that tells more about the reasons and motives behind the first Cylon war, and will keep the original BSG atmosphere and spirit, you will be greatly disappointed. The movie don't have any from the original crew (actors, writers, directors and such) in the movie, and it seems more like a bad spin off/fan-fiction to BSG, than a worthy prologue. And the movie don't tell anything about the first Cylon war, and the only use this as a setting for a (dull) plot.The plot in the movie is a young William Adama who are going on a "milk-run", which in short time turns out to be a secret mission. But the plot is bad and full of holes, the characters motivation to do what they do are unresolved, and the movie feels long, in spite of that it last less than 1½ hours.
    zidangus I was a big BSG fan, in fact I thought it was the best TV series I have ever watched. Caprica was alright, but very slow especially the early episodes, and can kind of see why it got canned after one season. However, I thought BSG Blood and Chrome, was really gripping and entertaining. I really liked the CGI, acting and plot, they were all very well done and solid. I really do hope someone takes up the chance to make a TV series out of it as I think if done well, this could be just as good as BSG. So please syfy or some other network, we are seriously lacking a decent science fiction show at the moment(since BSG finished to be honest), judging by blood and chrome, this looks a great candidate to make another classic series.
    slimfan I was really looking forward to this series, after SyFy canceled "Caprica." But then I watched it. "BSG: Blood and Chrome" is not horrible, but it is not good, either, and it's certainly not worthy of the Battlestar Galactica name. The biggest problem - and it's a huge problem - is that the entire show is obviously CG and greenscreen. Everything except the actors and some hand-props are computer generated, including ALL the sets and set pieces. The producers try to hide this using a strange color palette, After Effects lens flare and dark lighting, but it doesn't help. It's a shame, too, because it was a promising idea.
