Product Description
An all-new chapter in the Battlestar Galactica saga, Blood & Chrome takes place in the midst of the first Cylon war. As the battle between humans and their creation, the sentient robotic Cylons, rages across the 12 colonial worlds, a young, talented fighter pilot, William Adama (Luke Pasqualino, The Borgias), finds himself assigned to one of the most powerful battlestars in the Colonial fleet: the Galactica. Though Adama quickly finds himself at odds with his co-pilot, the battle-weary officer Coker (Ben Cotton, Alcatraz), the two men must set their differences aside when a routine escort mission with an enigmatic passenger (Lili Bordán, Silent Witness) turns dangerous and becomes a pivotal one for the desperate fleet.

The actual SYFY channel has completely abandoned all things science fiction. A few years ago MGM was taken over by new management and they immediately decided to cancel the following: SG:A, SG:U, the new SG-1 movie (SG: Revolution), and the new SG:A movie (SGA: Extinction).
As long as this current bunch of skin-jobs is in charge we will never get real sci-fi. Instead we get a steady diet of rediculous monster movies with horrible acting and direction. We get fed one ghost hunting show after another. We're up to 5 of those shows now right? Oh and my personal favorite - wresting. Wrestling? What the fraaaaak? I just cant wait to see steroid injected men all greased up in baby oil throwing eachother around for a buck. Yup. That qualifies as sci-fi now folks.
Unfortunately for us "real fans", we will never see a full blown BSG: B&C series. Not while those circle jerkers are in charge...!
...............UPDATE (3-20-13).................
I finally got a chance to watch this pilot/movie for the first time and mow im pipping mad! I cant believe America has given up on all things science fiction and let this one go. BSG:B&C is nothing short of spectacular. The story is compelling, with a bit of a callback to G. Baltar of the origanal series. They really know how to perfectly cast the BSG universe with the makers recasting many BSG/Caprica alumni. Us real fans will identify them immediatly. The new faces are top picks as well including the guy playing young (and dumb) Adama.
The picture quality is brutally sharp and crisp on Blu-ray disc. The audio is big and precise, as I expected, especially for those of us with surround sound systems (Definitive Technology 8.2).
The CG effects for Blood & Chrome are only rivaled in the movies! A small gripe for us computer animators - we'll instantly notice the underdeveloped dynamics programing and very quick decay rates on those effects but other than that it's all top grade stuff. I understand that the action-packed nature of the pilot/movie is to give the viewers a glimps of the kind of quality and intensity the show has to offer with following episodes. To bad that's not going to happen.
I will forever be se stunned at how something this amazing will never get off the ground. We have screwed ourselves out of truly brilliant story telling. Again. I was hoping for Bryan Singer's BSG movie to get going but I suspect after he sees this he might give up on it. Blood & Chrome is just that good!
Caveat two: Witness the smoking crater left behind by Lucas' Star Wars prequels. Yes, you must. Many viewers felt that performances were flat and appearances were off when actors simply moved in front of a greenscreen. Somehow, the result felt as flat as a weather report. Since all the physical sets for BSG II were struck and sold off years ago, everything in Blood and Chrome would have to be done in prequel fashion - all against a greenscreen.
Hmm... caveat three: Many viewers compare Blood and Chrome's geeky young Adama unfavorably with the husky Husker shown in Razor years ago. They point out that impetuous young pilots are a cliche. True and true, but remember that Blood and Chrome features Adama senior on his first mission out of the Academy. His physical and emotional type is therefore apt.
Some hate the "video game feel" of Blood and Chrome. Indeed, Blood and Chrome was originally meant to BE a video game, but just grew and grew.
So how can I like it? Let me tell you.
First, the look: I hated the hastily-constructed sets of the second series with a passion. They lacked detail and texture. Since the premise involved humanity eschewing computerization due to the possibility of Cylon infiltration, all that glorious "electronic wallpaper" that ol' sci-fi consumers like me like simply wasn't there. In Blood and Chrome, the effects designers weren't constrained by physical or budgetary constraints on sets. The wartime hanger bay and bridge are feasts for the eyes, making the second series' sets seem even more wretched in comparison.
Second, the plot emphasis: BSG - in any iteration - should be a war story, not a prime-time soap opera. The endless exposition of the second series, leavened only with a small sprinkle of nice exterior effects shots here and there, is reversed here. This is wall-to-wall action. If your preferred entertainment is to see endless human/human, human/Cylon, and Cylon/Cylon bickering (the holy "conflict" espoused by embittered Trek expatriates like Moore), it is not central here. Don't worry; there's plenty of moral ambiguity in Blood and Chrome, but it's not virtually the only thing. An extended dogfight inside a space wreck does feel "gamey," but many a good film adaptation feels "stagey;" it doesn't ruin the entertainment value of the film.
Third, the antagonism between the sexes in Blood and Chrome is more tolerable than in the second series. There is better balance here, with no Starbuckette chewing the scenery. Inevitably, there is a flitting appearance by a proto-Number Six, mouthing her holier-than-thou's, but not enough to ruin the recipe.
So if your tastes are like mine, enjoy. If not, just pop the second series into the player and have some ice cream.
