Movie Reviews of Caprica
Movie Review: Surprisingly Good
Summary: 5 Stars
I was totally prepared not to like this. I'm not really a big fan of prequels, and the idea of a BSG-themed series without a ship didn't really appeal to me. And when I heard the storyline involved teenage girls, well, I was less than enthusiastic.
What a pleasant surprise. The writing was crisp and as original as the BSG predecessor and the acting was perfect - even the teenagers. This is no Buffy the Vampire Slayer - it's mature adult drama.
Esai Morales is perfectly cast as Joseph Adama, and already the background story is being told of why Bill Adama was the man that he was on BSG.
Eric Stolz is perfect in his portrayal of the desperate, grief-stricken millionaire Daniel Greystone.
This film sets an excellent foundation for the BSG saga 50 years later, but it also stands up fine on it's own. Can't wait for the series. Never have I been so happy to be so wrong.
Movie Review: Caprica- another great show from Battlestar Galactica creators
Summary: 5 Stars
I was eager to see this new pilot DVD for the series that will begin in 2010. I certainly wasn't disappointed, as the creators of Battlestar Galactica have come out with a sneak peek of the new series "Caprica" that will begin next year. Set in the time when Cylons were first created, the storyline will hook you as fast as Battlestar did! It involves Bill Adama's grandfather as one primary character, and Eric Stolz is wonderfully cast as the creator of the the Cylons. The backstory involves how the loss of someone we love may cause a person to do anything within their power to bring that love back to them, even in a bizarre and dangerous way. It deals with the subtexts of greed, indifference, grief, cruelty , love and compassion. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who was a Battlestar Galactica fan, and also to those who have never even watched it. I can hardly wait to see what happens when the season begins!Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
"Caprica," the prequel series to the now-departed "Battlestar Galactica" opus, begins with this fine 90-minute pilot episode, in which numerous vivid, involving characters are introduced, the gritty social politics of the twelve colonies of Kobol begin to be fleshed out, and the Cylon race is born.
As a standalone show, without the benefit of four stunning seasons of BSG, I'm not sure how well this pilot would hold up, but as part of the Galactica mythos, it's utterly delicious and delightful. As is their wont, the writers and producers introduce a flurry of fantastic concepts, and we see at least four different ways the original Cylon codes could have been corrupted. And when that first Toaster starts walking and talking... and shooting... Well, I'm in, baby! I enjoyed this episode immensely and can't wait to see where they go from here.

Movie Review: Caprica: A new name for prequels
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best prequels I have ever seen! It is right now what Enterprise was becoming after four years, tightly written on staying on target. To those who say there is more soap opera than space opera in this, I say give it time. This is the intro to people we have only heard mentioned in BSG - Joseph Adama - I wish he was my attorney, people we will see later, Bill Adama and people we have never met. The sight of the first Cylon in action was about the most terrifying thing one can imagine when you realize what will happen in a few decades.
Do I want to see things move up to and include the first Cylon War, of course! Do I think we will see them, maybe. Is this a fantastic show, Absolutely?
My recommemdation to anyone who liked Galactica, SG-1 or TTSCC, get the disc, open the popcorn and the Dr. Pepper and sit back. The ride will only get better.
So say we all
Movie Review: Awesome Series Premier
Summary: 5 Stars
If you were a fan of BSG then you will love this Pilot episode of a new drama coming to the SciFi network. It tells the story of how the fall of Caprica began. Two men (Esai Morales and Eric Stoltz) are brought together when their daughters are killed in an act of "terrorism". Daniel Graystone (Eric)the head of a technology company that is working for a defense contract finds a way to bring his daughter back from death. He convinces Joseph Adama (Esai) a slightly corrupt lawyer that he can bring his daughter back for him as well if he will steal a piece of technology from his competitors. The device works and is the birth of the C.Y.L.O.N. I was very pleased with the extended UNEDITED version of this pilot. I can't wait for the series to begin.
