When Battlestar Galatica ended all the sets and props were sold. For a spin off to be done the sets had to be generated in a computer using green screen. There is an interesting Special Features clip describing how this was done. Every thing in the movie, except the actors, their clothing, and foreground props the actors would handle, was CGI. (Knives, weapons, computer tablets etc.) The Battlestar's flight deck, repair & assembly stations for Vipers, was very high quality CGI. Even smoke from welding repairs was CGI. This allowed much more detail than a budget for the sets could. This is a 90 minute offering which was never picked up as a series. There are blank screen breaks between the movie segments which were for TV commercials, and stations to ID. Special Features has the story as well as unfinished deleted scenes. When the deleted scenes were cut for time, the CGI for those scenes was never done. That means you can see the green screen behind the actors in the deleted scenes. Side by side finished scenes and the scene the way the actors experienced it are also included. Audio for the missing CGI is in the deleted scenes (Cylon gun fire & sound of Cylons moving.), and there is also a text screen describing what the CGI was to be. Example: "Cylon gun flashes can be seen through the snow." "Four Cylons enter, two attack from the front, two circle around the room." A lot of Cylon killing is done. Some were beaten to death with a stick. The only complaint I have is that the movie is cast darkly. They could have brightened it up a little. Not a viewing problem though. Most Blue Ray players can adjust for that. Our flat screen did it for us.Read full review
