Editor's Note
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA balances its striking special effects with character-driven drama and social commentary, resulting in episodes that are at once entertaining and astoundingly relevant. This critical favorite from Ronald D. Moore (STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION) reimagines the cult series from the 1970s with a new cast and more impressive villains, and it eschews the sunny outlook of STAR TREK in favor of a darker vision of space and humanity. In this portrait of the future, androids called Cylons have massacred billions of people, leaving only a small group of survivors. Led by Oscar nominees Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, the remaining human fleet searches for a mythical planet called Earth as they evade their would-be destroyers. This collection includes every episode from season 4.5 and offers never-before-aired scenes fit for diehard fans.

 | Battlestar Galactica - Season 4.5 - DVD Review By: Blake Matthews - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 7/29/2009 12:25 PM | | The story behind Battlestar Galactica is fairly simple. The story takes place in a distant part of the universe, where a civilization of humans live on planets that are known as the Twelve Colonies. For 40 years, the colonies have had an armistice with the Cylons, a cybernetic race that, at the beginning of the series, launches a sneak attack on the colonies, wiping out most of the populations of each planet. The Galactica is the only military ship to survive the attacks because it was considered past its prime and was in the process of being decommissioned when the Cylons launched their strikes. Under the leadership of Commander Adama the Galactica takes up the task of leading a fugitive fleet of survivors to a legendary refuge known as Earth....read the full review |
