Amazon.com video review:
Star Wars meets Wagon Train as a futuristic
flotilla of ragtag explorers search for a mysterious savior planet
known only as "Earth," while being pursued by the dreaded Cylons
(cybernetic tin-can baddies with vocal patterns that closely resemble
a Speak & Spell game). This theatrical feature culled from the first
and fourth episodes of the fondly remembered TV show is hilariously
dated (the preponderance of polyester outfits and astrology motifs
have the unfortunate effect of making the future look like an giant
interstellar singles bar), but that only adds to the retro charm. An
irresistibly cheesy blast from the past for Gen-X nostalgia-hounds,
with impressive visuals by effects legend John Dykstra and a special
appearance by teenybopper guru Rick Springfield. --Andrew
