## Description

An all-new chapter in the Battlestar Galactica saga, Blood & Chrome takes place in the midst of the first Cylon war. As the battle between humans and their creation, the sentient robotic Cylons, rages across the 12 colonial worlds, a young, talented fighter pilot, William Adama (Luke Pasqualino, The Borgias), finds himself assigned to one of the most powerful battlestars in the Colonial fleet: the Galactica. Though Adama quickly finds himself at odds with his co-pilot, the battle-weary officer Coker (Ben Cotton, Alcatraz), the two men must set their differences aside when a routine escort mission with an enigmatic passenger (Lili Bordán, Silent Witness) turns dangerous and becomes a pivotal one for the desperate fleet.

Review: Just watched the first 5 minutes. Amazing! But a series will never happen. - I feel your pain my friends but the only way this could've become a series is if it were sold to TNT or perhaps AMC! They are the only channels showing anything bold or even remotely considered sci-fi. That would be a show called "Falling Skies", the single closest thing to sci-fi on American television. Shame. The actual SYFY channel has completely abandoned all things science fiction. A few years ago MGM was taken over by new management and they immediately decided to cancel the following: SG:A, SG:U, the new SG-1 movie (SG: Revolution), and the new SG:A movie (SGA: Extinction). As long as this current bunch of skin-jobs is in charge we will never get real sci-fi. Instead we get a steady diet of rediculous monster movies with horrible acting and direction. We get fed one ghost hunting show after another. We're up to 5 of those shows now right? Oh and my personal favorite - wresting. Wrestling? What the fraaaaak? I just cant wait to see steroid injected men all greased up in baby oil throwing eachother around for a buck. Yup. That qualifies as sci-fi now folks. Unfortunately for us "real fans", we will never see a full blown BSG: B&C series. Not while those circle jerkers are in charge...! ...............UPDATE (3-20-13)................. I finally got a chance to watch this pilot/movie for the first time and mow im pipping mad! I cant believe America has given up on all things science fiction and let this one go. BSG:B&C is nothing short of spectacular. The story is compelling, with a bit of a callback to G. Baltar of the origanal series. They really know how to perfectly cast the BSG universe with the makers recasting many BSG/Caprica alumni. Us real fans will identify them immediatly. The new faces are top picks as well including the guy playing young (and dumb) Adama. The picture quality is brutally sharp and crisp on Blu-ray disc. The audio is big and precise, as I expected, especially for those of us with surround sound systems (Definitive Technology 8.2). The CG effects for Blood & Chrome are only rivaled in the movies! A small gripe for us computer animators - we'll instantly notice the underdeveloped dynamics programing and very quick decay rates on those effects but other than that it's all top grade stuff. I understand that the action-packed nature of the pilot/movie is to give the viewers a glimps of the kind of quality and intensity the show has to offer with following episodes. To bad that's not going to happen. I will forever be se stunned at how something this amazing will never get off the ground. We have screwed ourselves out of truly brilliant story telling. Again. I was hoping for Bryan Singer's BSG movie to get going but I suspect after he sees this he might give up on it. Blood & Chrome is just that good!
Review: Yes more plz thank u - This was 1 1/2 hours of awesome. It took me back to the BSG re-imagined mini-series and reminded me how a solid beginning can lead to great things. It's a shame this wasn't turned into a TV series as originally intended, only becoming a web series and "TV Movie". It has amazing potential. After all, we know basics about the first Cylon war, but the specifics? All the large-scale battles and small-scale special operations? All the people who became legends during it? The evolution of all the cylon human and non-human models? Nope, we haven't seen all that. We WANT to see it. But Syfy is all about ghost stories, reality shows, and wrestling. WRESTLING!? On SyFy? How about we change the name back to SciFi, bring back BSG as a full prequel that takes place during the first Cylon War, bring back Firefly to pick up 5-10 years after the events of Serenity, and show old episodes of Farscape, Trek, & the various StarGate offerings? Oh, that's because SyFy has gone the way of MTV. The name no longer represents the programming. It's a random hodgepodge of crap that has forever removed the SyFy channel # from my brain's rolodex. Maybe AMC or TNT would take it? Or Starz...Seriously. The best shows these days are on HBO (Game of Thrones, Deadwood, True Blood, Eastbound & Down), Showtime (Dexter, Californication, Shameless, The Borgias), & Starz (Spartacus) But I digress..Blood & Chrome is well worth the 3.99 if you're renting it, or 14.99 to keep it. IF I knew they were making a series of it, I'd buy it.

Pretty good movie. Kind of fills a gap in the overall story. A little short. Enjoyable.
