Synopsis

The first Cylon war has been raging for 10 years and a young Ensign William Adama joins the fleet. Disappointed not to be assigned to a fighter but to a freighter, his co-pilot also isn't too keen on having a rookie flying his aircraft as he has only a short time before he again becomes a civilian. Their cargo is a civilian scientist, but they no sooner leave than she has new orders for them and a new destination. Although she’s less than forthcoming about the details, Adama is keen—particularly as it involves going into Cylon controlled space. However, nothing is as it seems.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
jabrbi This film is a pilot for a series that was never picked up and, if judged solely on the visuals, then that's a good thing for all people who hate fake lens flares - and that's 99% of the Earth's population.The director of the film is SO obsessed with lens flare effects that he forgot all about having a sensible plot, decent acting, original characters or otherwise decent visuals. Every single light source in this film creates excessive lens flare, so much so that are moments where there is nothing on screen EXCEPT lens flare. I know this is all JJ Abrams fault with his Star Trek reboot but that doesn't mean that anybody else had to copy his sloppy technique.With so much flare obscuring the on screen image, you're reduced to having an aural rather than a visual experience and the content of the film just isn't up to making up for a lack of visuals.If this film were remade without the added lens flare effects then the money saved would be enough to hire a decent script writer, a decent director and some proper actors. THEN you might have a pilot film worth a series.
zidangus I was a big BSG fan, in fact I thought it was the best TV series I have ever watched. Caprica was alright, but very slow especially the early episodes, and can kind of see why it got canned after one season. However, I thought BSG Blood and Chrome, was really gripping and entertaining. I really liked the CGI, acting and plot, they were all very well done and solid. I really do hope someone takes up the chance to make a TV series out of it as I think if done well, this could be just as good as BSG. So please syfy or some other network, we are seriously lacking a decent science fiction show at the moment(since BSG finished to be honest), judging by blood and chrome, this looks a great candidate to make another classic series.
fullheadofsteam Rating this T.V. production on visuals (set decoration, special effects, lighting, etc.), this flick would rate a 10. Where it falls apart as a total work, however, is casting (completely wrong lead actor, English-accent challenged and mismatched in age lead actress) and, sadly, story borrowed from sources other than Battlestar Galactica (for example, reinventing Terminator elements and themes). Some snappy dialogue in the beginning, which devolves into stereotypical soap opera claptrap. And you can't even imagine how terrible the big 'love' scene is...it is to barf. Lastly, it must be said that the dialogue frequency of the word 'frack', used instead of 'fuck', or 'fracking' instead of 'fucking', is so awful as to change every mood where the word is used into the most awful depths of chalkboard nail-screesching pain or, alternately, giddy hysteria.
Thanos Karagioras "Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome" is a nice Sci-Fi TV Movie which has to do with a battle between machines and robots against the humans. I liked this movie because of the special visual effects and for the plot of it.Luke Pasqualino who plays as William Adama a very good pilot who is getting involved in the First Cylon War. He makes a really nice interpretation and at the start of this movie his acting reminds me a little bit Tom Cruise in the Top Gun movie. I also liked the interpretation of Ben Cotton who plays as Coker Fasjovik the co-pilot of William Adama in the war.Finally I want to tell you that this movie is a really nice movie to spend your time on it because it makes you feel how is to be in a space war and a pilot on it...
