"David Slade said he would rather get shot rather than view Twilight"
That's one rather over the line I'd say.
At least 100x better than any Sci Fi Channel original movie - in every aspect - acting, production value, cinematography, FX.
If you are a straight male, please turn in your man card now. Thank you.
Once you have god and angels as a primary plot device, you can tie up any terrible story arc in no time at all.
It would have had more resonance if they hadn't just tacked on that whole back story this season.
Extremely lazy writing in the end... too many unanswered questions explained away vaguely with "magic" (Starbuck, angels, "god", etc). Too many lose ends that couldn't be properly worked together. The "pay off" for the opera house was just bad. The importance of Hera makes no sense. The flashbacks were useless. The willingness of all these spacefaring people to go down and breed with cavemen and have no indoor plumbing..... about the only thing I liked was the Admiral Adama / Roslin ending. I've listened to some of the Ronald Moore podcasts, and it's obvious they've been flying by the seat of their pants the whole time. They ran out of gas and nosedived this thing IMO. Still... it doesn't ruin for me what were the really great moments of the series - most of which were totally disconnected from the mythology: the threads that involved the politics of the fleet, intrigue, betrayal etc.
In the end it's about what I expected, because there was no way they were going to be able to tie it all together in 2 hours in any satisfying way - especially since they've been doing nothing but waste time since the mutiny arch.
we shall see if it actually comes out in 2009... Titanic was pushed back 6 months. I can imagine this becoming a summer 2010 release.
they used to call color TV a gimmick. the key is being able to create the 3d effect without glasses - and they're already working hard on that technology.
Excuse me for expressing an opinion you don't agree with. But I won't "shut up", particularly since you told me to. Peter Jackson proved what a talented director can do to truly ADAPT a story... Kevin smith is a hack who thought the Prequels were better than LOTR, who can't seem to get over his homoerotic obsessions involving hobbits and wizards. But I can't say I'm surprised Smith is ejaculating all over Zach Snyder and Watchmen - he is working for WB now after all..... then again he's allowed to have whatever opinion he wants, as are you... but me? No I need to "shut up". If something's popular around here you apparently aren't allowed to disagree.. saw this same behavior surrounding the Dark Knight. Very cultish and creepy IMO.
LOL! Too perfect. Stay strong my brother...
