After a 40-year armistice in the war between the Twelve Colonies and the Cylons, the latter group launches a surprise attack with a goal of exterminating the human race, wiping out virtually everyone in the Twelve Colonies. Malware placed in the Colonial military's computer network renders most of the network ineffective or destroyed -- except for Battlestar Galactica, a space battleship that fought in the earlier war. Because it's older computer systems are not networked, the ship is not affected by the malware attack and it becomes the lead in the new battle with the Cylons.

Cork B @RT87142816 6d I was a bit concerned they would butcher the original series, but this show is too early for all that nonsense, despite the gender swaps. Mostly fine and kinda sticks to the spirit of the show. CGI is a bit janky as this is now over 20 years ago - perhaps a marginal improvement on the 70s series. Acting is ok, it seems watchable, but I am not overly impressed yet. See more Priya C. @Sci-FiTrekkie May 15 The first two pilot episodes of Battlestar Galactica is a treat. Sets up an intriguing premise with excellent writing and characters that makes me want to see what will happen next. See more DE S @Ds1texas Apr 5 Fresh take a space sci-fi, with intensity and great characters; mystery runs through this show to offset blatant gusto of its visuals and compelling story. See more Jay H @RT70414899 11/23/2023 One of the best television mini-series I have ever seen. See more Chihwah L @RT87019097 04/07/2023 Positive: like it in general. But there were several moments I thought the acting was not written well enough. Below I point out 2 of the few moments, I thought were bad.... Spoiler ahead: Battlestar gallectica, Season 2, watched a few more episodes. Sometimes the actions of people do not correspondent to their job or occupation. Examples: a soldier who gets shot with 2 or more salvos of gunfire keeps standing. Joke right? A soldier will, should take action if he is being shot. A 2nd in command guy of the president without gun experience gets a gun to shoot cylons while there are not enough explosive bullets. And he almost caused the death of several people. The son of Adama does not question if it is right to give a gun to a person??? A gun in the wrong hands can kill own people as easy. See more Read all reviews
