Shado X Collectible Toys @ shado-x-collectibles ebay Id Rating ***** (A++++++++) Excellent! Battlestar Galactica: Razor Absolute must for all fans of Battlestar Galactica. The story is about the Battlestar Pegasus from the surprise Cylon attack and escape from destruction, commanded by Admiral Cain, to Lee Adama assuming command. If you are a fan of old school BSG, then this DVD is for you. It also added classic Cylon Warriors & Raiders into this story's recollection/characterization of the First Cylon War! We can't recommend this enough!! You need to get this saga ASAP!!

I am a great fan of Battlestar Galactica, but I was disappointed in this movie. In my opinion, Admiral Caine is a bitch who exploited her staff and their decisions, and turned them to the evil by undermining their conscience, and made some very bad moral and ethical decisions of her own. That they survived is not due to her, but sheer luck and fast work of her bridge staff. The major redeemed herself by staying behind to blow up the Cylon breed-ship; that is the high point of the movie, as far as I am concerned. I was particularly appalled by Caine's decision to strip the colonist's ships by force and leave them helpless - that was not necessary for "survival", and in stark contrast to Captain Adama's compassion and rescue of survivors from the surprise attack by the Cylons. The movie does help fill in some holes in the first 2 seasons, and some background on the first war with the Cylons as well, so it is a good reference in spite of the faults of Admiral Caine. And it probably is an accurate portrayal of differences in commanders and their decisions in times of great distress.Vollständige Rezension lesen
As far as made-for-tv movies go, this should rank as among the best. Excellent writing for the two principles (Adm. Cain and Kendra Shaw) and great acting all-around. The visuals are what you would expect from Battlestar Galactica, meaning they're the best on television. The story is definitely very mature for science fiction television, dealing with themes that affect today's military men and women, but setting it in a futuristic environment. It really makes you think about the true cost of war, not just the lives lost, but the lives that are forever changed. Sometimes, in order to save humanity, your own humanity must be sacrificed. This is definitely worth checking out for Battlestar Galactica fans, and fans of science fiction in general.
Despite having watched the whole BG series, I was confused by this film's constant flashes back and forward, lacking narrative continuity. For a newbie, it would be very hard to follow, and that breaks your enjoyment. Sorry to say this because I loved the series and wanted more.

I have always been an avid SCI-FI fan & the classic Battlestar Galactica was no exception to being one of my favorites growing up! Since the inception & subsequent production/viewing of the updated BSG series, I have reveled once again in being able to enjoy this modernized spin on the original story! This latest addition to the SCI-FI Channel series, RAZOR, is a wonderful expansion & continuation of story events preceding & following the reunion of the two Colonial Battlestars (Galactica/Pegasus) in deep space after the exodus from the annihilated 12 Colonies! In this mini-series, a newcomer to the cast ensemble, Kendra Shaw (Stephanie Chaves-Jacobson) is undertaken by Admiral Helena Cain (Michelle Forbes, Star Trek: TNG--played Bajoran crew member Roe(/-w)?) after they escape the Cylon attack on dry dock & subsequent "blind jump" into deep space! During her brutal tutelage, Shaw is gradually turned into a "cold" instrument of war when she is assigned to confiscate specific crew & supples aboard a lone civilian freighter. During the task, she indifferently executes a civilian after meeting resistance with following Cain's orders! She is also responsible for uncovering the Cylon human clone/spy (played by Tricia Helfer) that begins the harsh interrogation process later uncovered by the Galactica crew! The story oscillates back & forth between the aforementioned story & the events following Cain's death, after Apollo (Jamie Bamber) assumes command of the Pegasus! Lee Adama is forced to promote Shaw to XO as a means of assimilating himself with the Pegasus crew! Shaw is forced to face old demons after the commission as her newest covert op brings her up against a Cylon Base Star that holds the secret to the origins of the newest brand of Cylons. It culminates in the discovery of the source of the entity that would later become recognized by the Cylon nation as "god" & an opportunity for Shaw to make a final bid at redemption, after being riddled with sorrow & guilt over her actions during Cain's command! I also loved the integration of some of the classic representations of Cylon Warriors & Raiders into this story's recollection/characterization of the First Cylon War! In summary, if you are a fan of BSG (old &/or new)--this series has something to satisfy all comers! Enjoy! M.R.V.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Enter the 87-minute-long "extended episode" called Battlestar Galactica: Razor, to be screened like a regular feature film in select cities Monday and aired Nov. 24 on Sci Fi. A prequel to Sci Fi's Battlestar -- which remains an indisputable contender for best show on television despite a wobbly third season -- Razor delivers the sharp writing, sci-fi eye candy and solid acting that made the show a surprise hit for the cable channel. Those not already familiar with the series may face a challenge with Razor as their introduction, jump-cutting as it does between three time periods in the series' rich history. On the other hand, Razor is also the quickest way a newbie can sample Battlestar's rich plot lines and cram for the show's highly anticipated final season. Like the series' best episodes, Razor delivers pulse-pounding battle scenes as well as the human drama of real characters struggling through trying and sometimes inhumane circumstances.

The movie was good quality but some of the special features were inaccessible. I notice this tends to happen on bootleg or "burned" DVD'S. It also had the smell. The smell that you get from copied movies. As for the actual cover of the movie it looked like a poor photo copy compared to the ones I saw at wal-mart,Target and so on. The price was ok but it would of been cheaper if I bought it from the store. I kind of lost out on it but I learned a lesson. But the movie was clear so I can't complain about it.
This is a really good movie!!
