Critics' reviews

"This movie is a reedited version of the television series, with the addition of Sensurround. Just as bad as the failed series. Lorne Greene should never have sold the Ponderosa."

TV Guide
"Although evidently a rip-off — there were hints of Lucas even taking the matter to the courts — this spacebound wagon train, whose limits are readily apparent, is great fun (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Ian Nathan: Empire
"'Battlestar Galactica' is a poor man's version of Star Wars — poor in every detail, including writing, pacing, characterization and, above all, imagination."

The Hollywood Reporter
"'Star Wars' was a masterpiece of instant mythology; Battlestar Galactica must settle for being merely a handsome, engrossing, super-duper television show."

Tom Shales: The Washington Post
"Some good special effects, but with strictly tele-standard acting, straightforward space opera plot, grandiose sentiment and slushy love interest, it's really only meat for genre fans."

Time Out
"'Battlestar Galactica' has the twin virtues of economy and humanity. It is evidently shot in an amusement arcade and gives employment to old actors you have heard of, who would otherwise be keeling over on golf courses."

The Guardian
"'Galactica' ultimately fails both as raw entertainment and science fiction. Shooting for the stars, it seldom rises above the trees."

Howard Rosenberg: Los Angeles Times
"Lome Greene and Richard Hatch star in the futuristic series that promises to be thoughtful, imaginative, and slyly humorous from time to time."
