Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
The revival of Battlestar Galactica has proven not just to be a roaring success with viewers, but one of the most critically-acclaimed science-fiction series too. Battlestar Galactica: Razor’s place is as an introduction to the events that take place in the fourth season of the show. Yet it’s also a terrific feature-length TV movie in its own right.

The story of Battlestar Galactica: Razor actually focuses quite a lot on a different Battlestar, the Pegasus. Throughout the movie, we see it under the command of the love-to-hate Admiral Helena Cain, while we also follow Lieutenant Kendra Shaw under her tutelage, and Lee Adama’s first mission in charge of the Pegasus.

Naturally too, Battlestar Galactica: Razor isn’t shy of Cylons, as we see them in the infancy of their attack on humankind. And all of these ingredients make for some interesting back story to the main show, and a great one-off piece of entertainment too. It doesn’t pull its punches when it comes to the action sequences, and there’s some worthwhile character work in there too.

While clearly intended as an appetite-whetter for the fourth season of Battlestar Galactica, Razor nonetheless has enough in the tank to more than hold its own. It proves to be yet another example as to why Battlestar is the show that’s been topping science fiction fans’ favourites lists for some time. --Jon Foster

DVD Description:
Battlestar Galactica: Razor is a special 2-hour movie event made for TV broadcast. The DVD will contain an extended version of the broadcast that includes all-new characters and more action and visual effects than any previous episode in the popular series, as well as behind-the-scenes interviews with the series creators. An indispensable backdrop to the events that will take place in the Fourth Season of BSG, Razor is a must-own for fans of the series.



Battlestar Galactica: Razor takes you on an edge-of-your-seat adventure with an epic untold story of Lieutenant Kendra Shaw and the other Battlestar, Pegasus. Battlestar Galactica: Razor tells the story of Lee Adama’s first mission as commander of the Battlestar Pegasus and reveals the story of how Admiral Cain served her ship during the original Cylon attack on the Colonies.

Synopsis:
Those craving an extra dose of the gritty and smart sci-fi of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA will be pleased by this TV movie addition to the show's canon. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - RAZOR prepares the audience for the fourth series of the show, featuring Lee Adama's (Jamie Bamber) first experiences leading the battlestar Pegasus. But RAZOR also takes viewers back to the Pegasus commanded by Admiral Helena Cain (Michelle Forbes, STAR TREK - THE NEXT GENERATION). In her three-episode stint, Cain quickly became one of the Peabody-award-winning show's most hated villains--and best characters--thanks to her brutal brand of leadership. Here Cain takes Kendra Shaw (Stephanie Chaves-Jacobson) under her wing just as the Cylons are beginning their genocidal attack against humanity. Later as Lee Adama's XO, Shaw must step up to her new role as she faces the demons of her past. RAZOR also reveals more about the mystery of the Cylon-human hybrid.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Solid addition to the series
Back in 2008, with the transmission of Battlestar Galactica's fourth season delayed and its full run interrupted by a nine-month-long break due to the Writer's Strike, the Sci-Fi Channel saw fit to deliver us an extra treat, namely a TV movie delving deeper into the show's backstory.

Razor takes place at the end of the second season, shortly after the events of the episode The Captain's Hand. Lee Adama is now commander of the battlestar Pegasus, but as an outsider he finds himself not entirely trusted by his new crew. Lee decides to appoint a former favourite of Admiral Cain's, Lt. Kendra Shaw, to the position of XO, in an attempt to 'build bridges' with his new subordinates. Interestingly, the plot doesn't dwell on this idea. We ... Read More:



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Worth the time.
I'll keep this short and sweet. Much of the marketing gave people the wrong impression of this feature length. Many thought it was history of the Pegasus under the command of Admiral Cann many thought it was the missing pieces between command being handed down to Lee Adama and it's untimely destruction at the Battle for New Caprica.

Whatever you thought, what you want this be. Throw it out the window now. Expectations and preconceptions will only close your mind and heart to this magnificent piece of story telling.

Although the story follows the once innocent Kendra Shaw, Admiral Helena Cain (fantastically portrayed by the talented Michelle Forbes) has stolen the show with a character, who's ideals and principles would ... Read More:



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Don't care that much for it.
Personally,I'm not a fan of this show.However,I do have my favourite characters.Edward James Olmos as Commander Adama.Mary McDonnell as President Laura Roslin,and Grace Park,as Sharon.My main gripe is that the writers always seem determined to show practically all of the male characters as totally and useless weaklings.Girl power is what they like here.The action is good,but of course,its the women that save the day.I didn't find this to my liking,but if you are a fan of extreme girl power saving blokes,and treating most of the men with utter comtempt,this is for you.Its not for me.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good but not up to the usual standard of writing
As an established fan of the series I enjoyed Razor. It was great to have a little more back-story regarding the Pegasus, the first Cylon War and Admiral Cain. The old time Cylons and Cylon Raiders were a real treat to see and beautifully rendered. That said, the lead characters of Kendra Shaw and Admiral Cain are particularly unsympathetic and very hard to like- which makes this story a little hard to really engage with. I also thought that the story had holes and inconsistencies that I would not usually associate with BSG. It was somewhat bizarre that Admiral Adama would send a whole battlestar to search for a missing Raptor. It was even more odd that he would then chose to accompany it. It was inconsistent and out of character for him to selectively ... Read More:



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Superb
A must see for fans and an exciting flick for others - however I would recommend that you watch sequentially. Great piece of TV with cinema standard production values.
