Jakealope If you loved the series, like me, you will like this movie. It fills in some details from the Cylon's point of view from the first 2 years mainly. But it seemed more like some 20th HS reunion than anything coherent. the lovable Adama directed this and he doted over it to the satisfaction of his fans. But an outsider who is unfamiliar with the series would be very disappointed. Also certain stupid plot points from the original, like Baltar giving the escaped 6 an atomic bomb is never explained any more. Captain Adama gave Baltar the bomb ostensibly for the Cylon Detector then just forgot about it? Well at best it is a mediocre fan movie that has no punch outside the tribe It was said this was to fill the gap before the series Caprica came out. Well, I will say that this movie was better than all of Caprica together, so they should have put more effort into this movie and scrapped Caprica.

Oracle1 It's been already said by others here but this film is terrible. I'm a big fan of the series, everything up until the last 7 or so episodes following the mutiny storyline. This film is a waste of fans' time and would be completely incomprehensible to new audiences. It's basically providing unnecessary exposition covering moments we already inferred must have taken place in some form but in the clumsiest of fashions in order to fit it into this cobbled together mess of a film. It's also trying to provide post hoc spackle to the plot holes created by the fact that the writers promised a plan but because of procrastination, never actually thought one up. So it's trying desperately to reconcile the first two seasons with the revelations of the final season.Basically, it's a lot of recycled footage from the first two seasons separated by moments we never saw around them that are all the same thing, Cavil telling other Cylons to do the things we already know they do from having watched the show. Why did Doral blow himself up in season 1? Because Cavil told him to? Why did that 6 emerge to try and discredit Baltar in season 1? Because Cavil told her to because, as we already knew, Baltar's Cylon detector was a threat? The only answers here are to the questions we already knew the answers to. What a waste! As someone already said here, the plan is simply kill the humans. Then when some survived, the new plan was kill the surviving humans. Genius. Hard to believe such a complex plan could fail. It's sad because during the first two seasons, the Cylons were incredibly menacing. Eventually, the writers knew they had to demystify them and they did, only their choices for the Cylons were never as interesting as the audience could imagine. And in this film, it gets worse because the once menacing Cylons are exposed to be nothing but failures who couldn't do anything right.At least Razor was a self-contained film that expanded upon the world of the series and offered new and interesting insights into characters like Admiral Cain. This film on the other hand is pure crap.

Ygrassil As a fan of the re-imagined BGS series I really look forward to watching The Plan. I got the chance to view it some time ago and it turned out to be quite a disappointment. Instead of being overwhelmed with new scenes, stories and interesting plot twists I was 'treated' with nearly 1.5 hours of old material with little new material, poorly edited as a 'Cylon diary' of their supposed intriguing plan. I will keep this review relatively short because there is few to say about this movie. BGS lost its touch and that is the end of it. I just hope that the new Caprica series turns out well and that the creators of the re-imagined BGS still have some aces up the sleeve.

hiigarasjet Let me open this review with simply....FRAK-TAKULAR But this review will probably get bombed with negativity...It's a good 107 minutes worth of interesting back story that was never covered in the series. The Plan shows us the cylon point of view from just before the attacks on the colonies up until toward the end of the second season of battlestar galactica...I will stay clear of giving too much away...it's filled with dark humor and sexual humor but it's all in good fun. Most hardcore BSG fans out there will either cringe or swoon over this movie I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was just an extension of Battlestar Galactica!...I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen the full series...!Everyone wants to find something to complain about from board posts and negative reviews..I give this 10 stars with the advice of, "Ignore all reviews and go in watch it without any expectations"So get some pop corn and your favorite cylon plush toy and sit back and enjoy!
