Disturbing yet enthralling

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

After watching Caprica this is quite a letdown. It seemed that half the movie was CGI, the other half top-gun-ish a boy and his machine.Oh yeah, boys and girls shower together! Every adolescent boys' wet dream. Character development? Uh not really. If I recall correctly Uncle Scrooge comics of the 1950's had more of such.But not to be a total loss, the CGI was rather good.

As a non 'fan-boy' of the series, although having seen the original series several times, I have only seen Razor, The Plan & Blood & Chrome of the new series - B & C being the most recent.Frankly, I was not impressed, especially when compared to Razor. It suffers from some really juvenile script-writing, in fact the entire plot is a bit silly and unbelievable. On the one hand, we have the Cylon force, although capable of decimating an entire Resistance fleet, is then incapable of downing a single slow-as-hell bucket of a ship - all because of the remarkable flying prowess of our 'hero'. Who incidentally, is annoying as hell! Sure, he's supposed to be cocky, but it comes across as just poor acting.The 'twist' at the end is equally unbelievable as well.What really gets my goat is all the 9/10 star-ratings for this poorly written offering. It's pointless rating something like this as deserving 10-stars, as it masks what is truly good from a prospective viewers perspective. For instance, Razor is much better than B & C, yet these inflated reviews would have you believe that they are equally good. Even The Plan is much better than B & C, having a much more thought-provoking script - less CG graphics but a better story line overall.So, while C & S is not a total loss, it is definitely sub-par in comparison and in no way deserving of 10-star reviews.

I was a big BSG fan, in fact I thought it was the best TV series I have ever watched. Caprica was alright, but very slow especially the early episodes, and can kind of see why it got canned after one season. However, I thought BSG Blood and Chrome, was really gripping and entertaining. I really liked the CGI, acting and plot, they were all very well done and solid. I really do hope someone takes up the chance to make a TV series out of it as I think if done well, this could be just as good as BSG. So please syfy or some other network, we are seriously lacking a decent science fiction show at the moment(since BSG finished to be honest), judging by blood and chrome, this looks a great candidate to make another classic series.

Rating this T.V. production on visuals (set decoration, special effects, lighting, etc.), this flick would rate a 10. Where it falls apart as a total work, however, is casting (completely wrong lead actor, English-accent challenged and mismatched in age lead actress) and, sadly, story borrowed from sources other than Battlestar Galactica (for example, reinventing Terminator elements and themes). Some snappy dialogue in the beginning, which devolves into stereotypical soap opera claptrap. And you can't even imagine how terrible the big 'love' scene is...it is to barf. Lastly, it must be said that the dialogue frequency of the word 'frack', used instead of 'fuck', or 'fracking' instead of 'fucking', is so awful as to change every mood where the word is used into the most awful depths of chalkboard nail-screesching pain or, alternately, giddy hysteria.
