Battlestar Galactica: The Plan

begins well, but then raves with something that does not interest me as camp, I wanted to see Cylons planning

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan is a pathetic attempt to revisit the series through a new perspective. Set during the show’s second season and told through flashback, a pair of captured Cylons aboard Galactica recount the plan to wipe out humanity, along with the adjustments they made along the way, and speculate as to why it failed. About half of the film is recycled footage from the show, recut with an additional scene or two to show Brother Cavil doling out orders to or engaging in covert meetings with the undercover Cylons. The storytelling is really choppy and random; so much so that the viewer has to have already seen the series in order to understand what’s going on. Still, there are some interesting revelations and backstories given to several characters (though they don’t always make sense). Explaining everything and nothing, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan is a mess of a film that’s only for die-hard fans of the television series.
