This sensational TV epic adventure is plenty of action , breathtaking battles , spectacular drama and being pretty entertaining . A prequel from the successful American TV series with effects repeated ad nauseam , being shot against green screen and the sets recreated digitally. Similar in plot and costume to the hit series , but at heart a traditional space western with less emphasis on droids and more on dogfighting and shootouts . Some good FX , but with strictly standard scenario , nice performance from a popular cast . Casting was essential for the series to succeed, and producers made an inspired choice, such as Luke Pasqualino who displays a boyish charm, and an ability to make even the most risqué remark seem unoffensive , Ben Cotton , John Pyper-Ferguson , Brian Markinson, Sebastian Spence, Ty Olsson, Zak Santiago, Mike Dopud, among others. Many of the crew members on the Osiris were played by players who performed recurring characters on Battlestar Galactica.

The movie packs a real sense of wonder and stimulating action set pieces illuminating the full-blown feats of the various protagonists and winding up in overlong confrontation and a stunning finale . As the adventure deals with the good guys : a group of humans , mostly rushing Viper pilots to the launch bays during battle , and , the bad boys : the Cyclons that quickly dominate humanity , wiping out most and forcing thousands of humans to flee in ragtag fleet through space.
