Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer [Battlestar Galactica] Razor's best service, beyond reminding us why Galactica is one of the best television shows on the air, is in filling in the story's historical gaps. Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Daniel Carlson Pajiba In keeping in line tonally with the rest of the series, as well as for the way it adds new texture to old ideas, "Razor" becomes not so much an anomaly as a valuable part of the story so far. Jun 13, 2018 Full Review James O'Ehley Sci-Fi Movie Page Schizophrenic plot . . .

Audience Member Everything that’s great about the series was complimented by this mid-season spinoff special that dives deeper into the backstory of the Pegasus crew that keeps up with the great BSG dramatic writing and performances. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review steve d Like a long form episode, but a really good one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review jack d It looks like it's just made of scenes from TV series episodes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member PC/Feminist Garbage!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A Sci-Fi Channel special event, Battlestar Galactica: Razor is a thrilling, action-packed adventure. When Lee Adama takes command of the Battlestar Pegasus he chooses Kendra Shaw, a protege of the late Admiral Cain who's haunted by the things she and the Pegasus crew have done to survive the war with the Cylons, to be his XO and help restore the crew's dignity and honor. Stephanie Jacobsen gives an excellent performance, making Shaw one of the most compelling characters of the series, and Michelle Forbes returns to reprise her role as Admiral Cain. Most of Battlestar Galactica's main cast make appearances, and there are subtle references to several Season 2 episodes that place the story in context. Unfortunately the CGI isn't up to the film's ambitious vision, as some of the Cylon Centurions and space ships are a little video game graphicy. Still, the action sequences are intense and exciting, and the writers do a good job at interweaving the backstories into the main plot. Battlestar Galactica: Razor is a powerful sci-fi drama that enriches the series and fills-in some of the missing pieces. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A very interesting side-story in the solar system we've come tio consider a sister system to our own!
