Customer Reviews: Fills In Some Gaps, Worth Watching - RecommendedNovember 9, 2009 CFH(Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
"Battlestar Galactica: The Plan" is sort of a recap and "behind the scenes" look at the Cylon thinking that went into the war against the humans. This straight to DVD movie uses a lot of footage from the series, but new scenes were added to expanded the plot with elements we learned later. A lot of new CG effects were also added, including showing more of the damage the first wave attacks caused to the colonies and the cities. There are a few scenes including nudity and sex, but it mostly is in good taste and used in the story telling.
Recommended for Battlestar Galactica fans, but only after watching all of the rest of the seasons.
Skips around way too much.November 12, 2009 Derik G. Wilson(Kansas City, MO) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This thing skips around way too much to be entertaining. I suppose that the ADHD generation would enjoy it, but for those sound of mind, it skips around way too much. I watched the entire Battlestar Galactica(BG) series and this wasn't really a compliment to the series at all. I felt like it was mostly clips pieced together from the series along with some very short skits that they threw in to fill the story gaps. It really isn't worth $14 because it doesn't really tell any more than you would have already known at the end of the BG series. And for those who have never watched BG, "The Plan" will make absolutely no sense.
Just a Re-Run - nothing really originalJanuary 11, 2010 Kat Kay(New Orleans, LA United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I watched this The Plan last night on the SYFY channel and thought I would buy the movie once I saw the quality. It is just a re-configuration and re-run of past clips. I found it quite boring. I love scifi and and I'm very forgiving if a program has a few problems. I would suggest watching it free somelace if you haven't seen it. The most I'll pay for this program on-demand is $2. It is not a $15 movie. I did buy all the BSG series and they are worth the price on-demand. I do love on-demand at Amazon.
Maybe name it "Cavil's Tantrum"???October 30, 2009 R. A. Ernst 5 out of 10 found this review helpful
The Plan...long anticipated for it's promise of providing some answers to questions left over from the series.
So what was the grand "Plan" often mentioned in each episodes sign on?
"Kill all the humans"
DUH!
So that was Cavil's grand plan? I had kind of guessed that after the mini-series. So the plan fails when a fleet of humans escape and the rest of the show is Cavil bumbling around trying to finish the job, and still failing. Then Caprica Cavil shows up, and tells Fleet Cavil they were wrong because they forgot to factor in "love" and the show ends.
And I just wasted 20 dollars to learn what I already knew at the beginning of the whole mess. They promised that the end would be so mind blowing that it would make you re-think the entire series and be forced to re-watch it from the start with your newly unveiled eyes. They (the writers) failed.
So lets make a 2 hour time sink and blame it all on Cavil!!!
