While Galactica 1980 was not anywhere near as good as the original series (10 out of 10 in my opinion)with it's few new but cheesy special effects shots. Come on a strobe light as a special effect? how disco. Even with the later kiddie scripts it is still better than the sci fi channel remake. This show did have some humor with it's fish out of water bits that many find fault with but I find funny, wouldn't't any alien dropped into a strange culture and trying to blend in would have that problem?. I will agree with some that the show was a pale imitation of the original but......it was far better than the political soap opera that they are trying to pawn off on us as entertainment today. If I wanted to watch a soap opera I would watch a soap opera. I for one am enjoying my new set of DVD's of Galactica 1980 and will enjoy them long after the bad taste of the new series has left my mouth. *hint I don't watch it*

Warning: Spoilers
I showed this movie at a Shore Leave convention years ago and it got a lot of laughs. I realize that it was made for next to nothing by a group of amateur film makers but I have seen professional efforts that were not as well thought out. The main set (somebody's apartment) is a bit tacky but at least creative. The jokes are horrible (funny horrible not bad horrible), the character names sound like they should be in a porn movie. The props were a nice use of everyday items. I like the ship construction (I'm a Pepsi drinker) too bad paramount didn't use the ship idea for a promotion. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was the very end, I think he should have died and I think you know what annoying character I mean.
