Where the people you meet are important to you only because they were already important to you Which pretty much sets it apart from the other movie versions of BSG each of which managed to both carry the story and at the same time be a self-standing movie for newbies.

The pace is slow. A fly crawling up a drape makes better progress.

If you watch the whole thing (and many will not) you will be haunted by the notion that the producers saw this as an easy payday and a chance to reuse footage from earlier episodes.

Maybe. Maybe not.

The rating I gave tells the tale. Dean Stockwell gives the performance of his life. There is a scene at the 1:40 mark involving Stockwell, a small boy, an apple and a knife. It is mesmerizing Which is more than I can say of the movie

As someone who enjoys Battlestar Galactica a good deal, I wanted to like The Plan. But other than the decent looking sets and costumes and the better than average acting I didn't care overall for the movie. The writing is not as clever and often doesn't flow very naturally, while the story is not only dull with a lot of it being clumsily incorporated stock footage and overlong filler but with the fact that I didn't get anything new from it I just didn't see the point. The characters are not as interesting either, in fact I found their personalities bland and underdeveloped on the whole.

Overall, not absolutely terrible but pointless and nothing interesting or new. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Having never watched the series, the movie confused the bejesus out of me. I felt like I walked into the middle of a film with the characters already introduced. Not as bad as "Final Fantasy VII" movie lack of character introduction, but darn close.

I never really grasped why Cylons needed planets and didn't just destroy them. Why were their nuclear weapons so puny? Didn't we make them with an off switch? The movie bounced around a lot and I had to figure out who was real, who were Cylons and why would they care they were once "enslaved" robots. The movie has far too much dialogue and not enough action. The colony planets all had names with some kind of zodiac sign associated with it, although I don't know why. If these are all colonies, what happened to earth? If you are going to have gratuitous nudity, what is wrong with Tricia Helfer?

After the earth colony planets are poorly nuked, Cylons for some reason occupy the planet Caprica so humans, inspired by Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen (Red Dawn),attack the Cylons, although not often enough to make for some exciting action. The latest generations of Cylons who look human also have some human emotions, although I don't know why, other than the fact it made for some lousy scenes.

What made the whole story unbelievable was that the priest Cylon never molested a young boy who would visit him. Like what planet is he from? There wasn't enough fracking "action or fracking nudity to carry the fracking film. Oh yes the use the word "frack" as a substitution for the f-bomb. How nerdy is that?
