It's young William Adama (Luke Pasqualino) in the First Cylon War getting his first assignment on the Battlestar Galactica. He's a young gun, top of his class, and itching to start shooting Cylons. However he's put into a Raptor to transport supplies. On his first mission, he's given an uneventful milk run assignment. His co-pilot Coker (Ben Cotton) is a war weary short timer who's only too happy to have a nothing mission. As they leave BSG, their passenger Dr. Becca Kelly (Lili Bordán) tells them that their mission has changed and it becomes something much more deadly.
It has a lot of CGI space battles in the first half. It looks functional, but not at the same standard as the TV series. The lead Luke Pasqualino doesn't have the same quality as Edward James Olmos. The story is acceptable but not as amazing as I would have wanted. The way it was portrayed in the TV show, I expected much more. Also Luke Pasqualino just doesn't have the same level of power or screen presence even if you add in the age difference. It's a reasonable TV movie, but that's about it.
