Trivia:
Prior to airing on TV, Razor was screened in theaters in selected cities to pre-registered fans. However, a full theatrical release was not possible, for legal reasons: although Universal Studios owns the television rights to the Galactica franchise, movie rights are owned by Glen A. Larson, who created the original 1970's movie/show. Despite a Consulting Producer credit (and salary), Larson had no input for the new series whatsoever. Any theatrical release, however, would require Larson's approval. more

As a Fan, I Felt Cheated, 5 May 2009
3/10

When I had first heard of a "Battlestar: Galactica" film which was going to delve deeper into the storyline of the Pegasus and its crew prior to their dramatic collision with the heroes of the television series, I was excited.

I have always been a fan of Michelle Forbes, who has delivered time and again in the Science-Fiction genre with solid recurring performances in Star Trek, LOST, and Galactica. Her turn as Admiral Cain in the television series was arguably the high point of Season Two and every bit as iconic on the show as the moments in which our heroes and villains struggled during the occupation of New Caprica, and the Final Four discovered their hidden identities.

But the film, to my chagrin, was laden with rushed subplots, over-the-top moments, and annoying flashbacks with little relevance to the overall storyline. The result was a weak hodgepodge of character development and ham-acting (courtesy of the individual who played the young Admiral Adama), peppered with sub-par dialogue.

Maybe it's because of the show's tremendous quality that I felt this way; I'm not entirely sure. What I am sure of is, as a fan of the outstanding series, I felt cheated. And it's a feeling I don't particularly appreciate.
