The mini-series eschewed the laser-blast camp of the original for documentary-style shaky-cam, realistic dialogue, and moral ambiguity. It was a gamble that paid off, leading to the 2004-2009 series often cited as one of the greatest TV dramas of all time.
The mini-series begins with a devastating attack by the Cylons on the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, wiping out most of humanity. The remaining survivors, led by Commander William Adama (played by Kevin Sorbo) and President Laura Roslin (played by Tricia Helfer), flee in a fleet of spaceships. They are in search of a new home, while being pursued by the Cylons. Battlestar Galactica -Mini-Series- -DVD-Rip-
