Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series Movie 1-4 DVD Box Set
During
its four season run "Battlestar Galatica" produced some of the best
episodes for ANY television series whether it be a mainstream drama or
science fiction. While some fans of the series were disappointed with
the conclusion quite a bit was hinted at in previous episodes and it
doesn't detract from the quality of the previous ones. The image
quality varies from exceptionally good to fair but the show retains the
"look" the producers wanted; some shots are meant to be not only
extremely grainy but also a bit soft so you'll forgive the studio and
makers for going with their artistic vision. Either way the image looks
terrific but don't expect this to look like a smooth high def show
designed to look slick. Detail is sharper regardless of the "look" of
the show.
Audio sounds terrific throughout with an active 5.1
lossless soundtrack that highlights the level of detail that went into
preparing the show.
The extras for seasons one through three
are more or less the same as on the original DVDs the only new extra
(aside from the new extras for season four which I'll address in a
minute)to this set is the BD-Live "Battlestar Galatica Card Game". So
far there isn't anything else on BD-Live (as of the release date)
available but I'd also note that the season one Blu-ray and DVD as part
of this boxed set includes the deleted scenes from the first season
something missing if I recall correctly from the DVD (I sold mine to
upgrade to the Blu-ray so can't look at it).
It appears as if
most of the extras are exactly like like the previous sets with one
exception the deleted scenes for the first season. I'm going to focus
on the extras for the fourth season because most of the special
features are ported over from the previous DVD boxed sets. We get
extended episodes for "A Disquiet Follows My Soul", "Islands in a
Stream of Stars" and "Daybreak" as well as 13 commentary tracks, David
Eick's Video Diaries and deleted scenes for the fourth season
set.There's also pip's that allow you to watch behind-the-scenes stuff
while watching the show as well as an explanation of some of the jargon
used by the characters on the show.
