I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The synopsis given by "official" sources says that this movie reveals the Cylons' Plans from before the attack on the colonies up through the end of Season 2.This review will be extremely short, as talking about much of it at all would be spoiling both the movie and the series.The movie basically follows 'Number 1,' both the one on Caprica and the one in the fleet, and how they change throughout the course of the series. Unfortunately, it only covers up through season 2, so this so called "Plan" was boiled down to simply kill all humans. Nothing the audience of BSG didn't already know, right? The movie was okay, but it ended up feeling like a long string of deleted scenes from the series. If you have seen the whole series, then it is a must-see, even if there is nothing new.Taken as a standalone movie, it is easily a 1/10. However, there is NO WAY someone who has not seen the entire series of BSG should even consider watching this. It doesn't introduce anything new really, but it is a decent addition/companion to the series that all hardcore fans need to see.

As a fan of the re-imagined BGS series I really look forward to watching The Plan. I got the chance to view it some time ago and it turned out to be quite a disappointment. Instead of being overwhelmed with new scenes, stories and interesting plot twists I was 'treated' with nearly 1.5 hours of old material with little new material, poorly edited as a 'Cylon diary' of their supposed intriguing plan. I will keep this review relatively short because there is few to say about this movie. BGS lost its touch and that is the end of it. I just hope that the new Caprica series turns out well and that the creators of the re-imagined BGS still have some aces up the sleeve.

I was a great fan of the series and bought the DVD's as soon as they were available.This, however, was a real let down. It was almost more like a budget saving "clip show" than a movie. There was nothing new, no revelations, no finally uncovered PLAN. It was just a rehash of everything you knew before.It was nice to see Edward James Olmos direct again and there were some new scenes (heavily mixed with clips).I'm certain there are some great movies that could be made based on the series. Unfortunately this was not one of them.

Let me open this review with simply....FRAK-TAKULAR But this review will probably get bombed with negativity...It's a good 107 minutes worth of interesting back story that was never covered in the series. The Plan shows us the cylon point of view from just before the attacks on the colonies up until toward the end of the second season of battlestar galactica...I will stay clear of giving too much away...it's filled with dark humor and sexual humor but it's all in good fun. Most hardcore BSG fans out there will either cringe or swoon over this movie I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was just an extension of Battlestar Galactica!...I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen the full series...!Everyone wants to find something to complain about from board posts and negative reviews..I give this 10 stars with the advice of, "Ignore all reviews and go in watch it without any expectations"So get some pop corn and your favorite cylon plush toy and sit back and enjoy!
