But I am a sucker for any scifi that has capital ship engagements. having the ending action sequence be BSG vs. Two Cylon battlestars covering a retreat was awesome. I dont know why Galactica even has fighters, did you see the weaponry it fielded? the entire ship is covered with Batteries.
Also the way Starbuck rescued Apollo deserves a special mention. I guessed that she was going to rescue him in a way that defied physics, but it was totally believable and blew me away. Extremely good piloting skills there.
Very last scene was basically "Gee we'd like to do another movie so lets make sure and leave them hanging"
Overall the movie had its low points but the high points and the overall way they upheld the original concept while fixing the glaring plot holes in the original left a much, much better movie. Hats off to the guys who worked on it.
