Surge protection needed please.............
Worse movie ever. I wish I could think of any redeeming qualities but I can't.
There was only one sympathetic character and his whiney attitude soon made me want to punch him in the face. I ended up punching myself in the face for even renting it.
All of the other characters were so very unlikeable that I couldn't care less what happened to them.
The actual 'surge' power source was cartoonish.
I recommend passing this one by. I wish I would have.

Could have been better
they had an awesome concept but they did not work it to their full potential. It would have been a lot better if they had all rebelled or been good together. the best scenes were when they were using their powers at school. The special effects were very realistic. It was entertaining

good
this movie is pretty cool. i liked the story. only problem is it ripped off the craft.

no imagination
What a surprise! "A new version of an old classic." In my opinion, this deplorable trend in music, TV, and movies is destroying the entertainment industry. What's next? The New Dukes of Hazzard or The New Adventures of Buck Rogers? Come on!

There are plenty of writers out there struggling to get their fresh ideas and original stories into the mainstream. You'll never get the chance to see them though because the people with the money can't see past their Neilsen reports. "Let's see here, people liked this show 20 years ago, I'll bet we can get their kids to like a new version of it. Of course it will have to be 75% special effects and 25% story. Kids these days won't buy the toys unless it's got a lot of special effects."

I saw the previews for the new BSG miniseries on one of my BSG dvd's. Producers think that adding neat special effects to a movie or TV show makes it good. It obviously doesn't.(Look at Star Wars episodes 1 and 2.) Of course, if their intent is to make a big expensive commercial in order to sell toys to the 6-12 year old market, they've hit the spot.

I can't believe they made the Cylons look like people. I'm not sure if this was a creative decision or that they just don't have a budget large enough after they blew it all on CGI. Either way, it was stupid.

Basically, the only good thing that can come out of this new mini-series is that it has renewed interest in the old series. For that I'm grateful. I've been waiting on the boxed set for years. Other than that, I have no doubts that it will be forgotten about quickly. There's nothing on television today that I'll care to watch in 25 years. But, I'll bet the original series of BSG will still be entertaining.

What do you want more?
I think, that the new Battlestar Galactica will be the best one. Sorry, the old one was the worst old Sci-Fi-serie i've ever seen. Not only the dialogues, also the whole equipment of the old one was soooo bad(Ok, it was a serie of the 70s?). Doesn't matter, after all, what I read, what I saw about the new Battlestar series, I am a real fan of the new one.

The worst case is that it might be as bad as the original
I'm amazed at all of the people who have decided to pan a DVD not even released yet, so they can "show support" for a show involving inane plots, a robot dog, and a confused mishmash of Mormon and Egyptian motifs. The best decision they made was when they decided to blow off continuation of the original tired storyline, and while the most recent entries on the website don't inspire a whole lot of confidence that they are goinbg to get it right, they couldn't do much worse than ABC did originally.
