i have to say and a a bsg fan i wasn not exactly sure what i would think of this show . i saw it on the big screen at the arclight cinema tonight ( a part of the paley center screening ) and and the cast and film maker speak after ward . ron moore say they want to make a clean break from battlestar and and do something different and and that yes they would lose some fan but hopefully they would gain others . even without their talk and i be now a fan of the new show . but here what i thought of the film . i love it . it be really very good . i guess i be a true sci fi ( or yfy do i really have to type that . ) geek and because i would totally watch this a a series . it have a strong and rich story and and keep my interest . it start with a small group of teenager plot something and which to me be the weak part and a bit confusing . the actor play ben should have give u more of a glimpse into his intense belief . the actress playing zoe seem a little posy and but she be play a teenager ( and i be sure i would not be the only one who think zoe be a cylon at first and peril of be a bsg geek ) . if theyre hop these will be the new bamber or helfer or park and they may want to rethink it . surprisingly and it be the adult that capture the audience attention . eric stoltz give a stellar performance a daniel greystone and a man so haunt by his family tragedy that he jump at the first chance of get out of his grief and doesn not let go . he do a chilling and enthral job of convey his character sly knowledge of the inner world of computer and people and especially in a scene in which he spin a web for the young teenage friend of his daughter and trap her and then dismisses and release her . no sign at all of the erial killer he play on gray anatomy and really impressive acting . equally a strong though not in it nearly as much be paula malcomson a his wife amanda greystone . she be just a smart and well write and beautifully play a stoltz part and and i completely believe that they be a couple and and a couple that have be together forever and have a strong relationship and something rarely see these day . i look forward to see what happen with this family and and hope they give her as much to do a roslin in bsg she be strong and smart and when she lash out at her kid and you cringe and it really great . not to mention her eye and which could hold magical power and that how intense they be . the scene where she take on the government agent very short scene and but beautifully play really give you an idea of her power . the other part of the show that do not work 100 % for me be the scene with esai morale and and the mafia type clan of his . he do a good job overall and but i do not believe in this mob power and nor intimidate by their threat . i find myself wish that this whole story line be a bit more mysterious and hard to figure out while the way it be present be almost an homage to the godfather and they kind of hit you over the head with it a bit . but give time and i can see how this will develop into an interesting upstairs or downstairs kind of thing and with the poor minority ( morale et al ) versus the rich folk who rule the planet ( stolz et al ) . and to be honest and i do enjoy it when he speak to his son about the origin of their name that be a very well play scene . note to bsg fan and the boy play willy adama doesn not really look much like olmos and but he just a kid . whether or not he will be feature any more than he be in this film and who know . i sure couldn not tell . but it do not bother me and because he wasn not as interesting a everything else go on around him . polly walker play sister clarice and and she chill and odd in every scene she in . i be not sure where she will go or who she will end up with and but i be very impressed with her act . in this film she be sort of on the side and but obviously be set up to play a very important part later on . she be nothing like her character in rome and something i always find impressive in actor . one nice surprise the music be actually well and less obvious than bsg and even though it the same guy do it and bear mccreary . it have a haunting and unusual approach that take me by surprise and i would buy this score if i have the chance . a to the panel discussion after the show and it be host by seth green . ron moore be very smart and articulate and david eick be crack wise ( much like his video diary ) and esai morale tell a long story about how he be cast and and eric stoltz be very funny and do not really answer the question ( but i have always have a thing for him ) . paula malcomson be tough ( she take seth green to task for mistakenly say she be on 24 ) and and the girl who play zooey and lacey be both darling . grace park and tricia helfer be there as well and answer question about how they do the scene act with themselves on bsg . overall a very interesting and wonderful evening . i be give the show a positive and and very much look forward to watch it all unfold . note represent i just watch this a second time and really hope they explore what the holoband be originally make for . i have no idea what that may be and but it hold a great deal of fascination to me .
