January 5, 2011This is the film which started the classic TV series. In fact, it may have been better to leave it as a film, or film series, and not gone to TV, but that's just my opinion. I really liked this movie, it's exciting, fun, and a sometimes unintentionally very funny. It's not a f... read more

July 11, 2007This bored me to tears. I could never get into the movie or the television series. It had a superb theme song, great ships, awesome Cylons, and a neato robot dog, but the human characters were dull; I didn't like any of them. The insectoid Ovions were cool when they were cocoonin... read more

June 16, 2007Trashy TV special shown in cinemas in an attempt to cash in on the popularity of Star Wars. It's pure 70s cheese from beginning to end, and that's part of it's appeal. And Starbuck is even cooler than the Face man! Entertainingly kitsch junk that really only has value for the nos... read more

August 14, 2008Dileriously campy late 70s early 80s series about a lost tribe of humans trying to find Earth, and a cheesy TV movie, make up for some of the strangest space battle effects since Buck Rodgers, and some of the coolest ships since Star Wars and Star Trek. They mix up military and n... read more

Time Out
With strictly tele-standard acting, straightforward space opera plot, grandiose sentiment and slushy love interest, it's really only meat for genre fans. Full Review

Frank Ochieng, Movie Eye
A Star Wars clone for the boob tube crowd that never quite captured the imagination or originality that an ambitious sci-fi showcase should exude so effortlessly.

High concept, low budget. Not looking forward to the SciFi channel 'reinterpretation'.

James O'Ehley, Sci-Fi Movie Page
The plot is as old as it gets and merely serves to get a group of people aimlessly lost in space. Full Review
