Edgier and racier than its predecessor, Battlestar Galactica 2004 is a complete re-imagining of the 1970s series - upping the ante on the action, adventure and drama that made the original so popular. The groundbreaking story of man versus machine remains, but this time, the Cylon robot is no longer a recognisable enemy… it can move among man. With the 12 colonies of man virtually destroyed in the climax of a hundred-year war with the Cylon empire, President Roslin (Mary McDonnell) and Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) gather up the few humans left on the twelve worlds and embark on a journey to find the mythical planet Earth, the supposed thirteenth colony of mankind.

Battlestar Galactica (2004) 

English A space opera in dirty garb that is equally clever, topical, mirror holding, epic, fateful, provocative and riveting as it is naive, amateurishly acted, full of filling, moralizing and full of moments that get the audience’s eyes rolling. In any case, at its better/best moments it’s really really good and at its feeblest it is really really bad, but never unwatchable; this is also thanks to the fact that the first situation described occurs considerably more often than the second.
