7/10
Decent effort but would have need some script polishing
9 March 2013
Interesting plot, overall OK special effects (some very good ones, some well... below the par. Weakest part in visuals is definitely in the beginning where we have to cope with some YouTube quality green screen work and J.J. Abrams lens flares festival.

Luke Pasqualino is OK as Adama but not sparkling. But he would have been a lot better by the end of a whole season. He is a good actor. Ben Cotton is easily the best of the bunch while Lili Bordan as Dr. Becca Kelly have refrigerator charisma. To me, this is the main problem of the film. She add no energy and credibility to her character, even if I can admit that some dialogues are enough to make you eyeroll several times.

Looking at this web film as a whole, there must have been a very tight budget for it which could explain the uneven quality but with a good showrunner and more script polishing, it could have reach new BSG original quality.

So, one is left to wonder WHY SyFy pulled the plug on this? Anyone?
