Battlestar Galactica: The Plan

 (TV) (2009)

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan Blu-ray delivers great video and superb audio in this excellent Blu-ray release

The world ended with no warning, and all that was left … was hope. The Cylons were created by the people of the Twelve Colonies. Intelligent robots, they were used as slaves and soldiers to fight humanity's wars. But the Cylons became sentient and they rebelled. Man and machine fought to a bloody stalemate, and then the Cylons withdrew to a remote region of space.

A truce between the Twelve Colonies and the Cylons lasted for 40 tense and silent years. Each year, on the anniversary of the treaty-signing, humanity sent an envoy to the neutral ground of Armistice Station to meet with a Cylon envoy. For 39 years, no Cylon envoy came. Then, on the 40th anniversary, a stunning blonde — a Cylon in human form — met the human envoy … moments before the Cylons vaporized the station and launched a genocidal attack on the Twelve Colonies. In one devastating day, billions of human lives were consumed by nuclear fires. Only those souls fortunate enough to be aboard starships were able to band together and escape and flee into deep space, led by the sole surviving Colonial warship, the battlestar Galactica. The Galactica and its crew seemed to be unlikely saviors for humanity's fewer than 50,000 desperate survivors. The ship was old and had been about to be decommissioned and turned into a museum when the Cylon attack occurred. In the aftermath its commanding officer, William Adama, found himself responsible for safeguarding the last remnants of the human race.

Meanwhile, the annihilation of the Colonial government on Caprica resulted in the succession of Laura Roslin, the Secretary of Education, to the presidency. Driven by prophetic visions and political necessity, she set the fleet upon a quest that will take it into the farthest reaches of unexplored space … in search of the mythical, lost "13th colony" — Earth.

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan Blu-ray, Video Quality

  4.0 of 5

"The Blu-ray release of Battlestar Galactica: The Plan accurately preserves the artistic intentions of the creators. The stylized visual elements within certain scenes are intentional and faithful to the broadcast presentation of the television show."

With those wise words of warning, Universal introduces The Plan's 1080p/VC-1 transfer; an entirely faithful presentation of a wholly inconsistent visual experience BSG fans will find to be comparable to the series' previously released seasons. Girtty, grainy, and garish throughout, the film is a hodgepodge of palettes, lighting schemes, filters, and over/under-saturated hues that somehow, by the grace of Ron Moore, actually enhance the tone and mood of everything the Galactica crew and their Cylon nemeses face. Skintones remain relatively accurate (despite some gaudy flushing on the surface of Caprica), the vast reaches of space are deep and absorbing, and detail, while erratic at times, is quite stunning, particularly during close-ups. The melding of old series clips with new film footage is impressive as well. The only problem I noticed was with an early shot between Six and Cavil that was both blurry and riddled with noise. Granted, it passes by in an instant -- and is subsequently forgotten the moment the Cylon Basestars unleash hell on the Colonies using some of the series' finest CG to date -- but it stuck out in my mind as the lone hiccup in an otherwise strong presentation. It helps that Universal's technical transfer is so sound. Yes, minor banding is present in a few shots, but I didn't catch sight of any errant artifacting, unintentional noise or crush, edge enhancement, or DNR.

As it stands, anyone familiar with the Blu-ray edition of The Complete Series will know exactly what to expect from The Plan's high definition transfer. It isn't striking by traditional standards, but it does boast a strange, serrated beauty Battlestar enthusiasts have come to know and love.


Battlestar Galactica: The Plan Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  4.5 of 5

Universal continues to demonstrate its affection for Battlestar Galactica with yet another powerful and proficient DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track. From the Cylons' devastating nuclear attacks on the Colonies to Anders' firefights on Caprica to the pulse-pounding bass that undergirds composer Bear McCreary's score, The Plan sounds absolutely fantastic. Slight normalization inconsistencies aside (an issue that's only noticeable when Olmos weaves scenes from the miniseries into the film), dialogue is both crisp and warm, prioritization is spot on, dynamics are bold and boisterous, and LFE output is a rumbling, roaring treat. The rear speakers are often restrained, but it only makes early club scenes, rapidly approaching action sequences, and the the film's most hair-raising set pieces that much more involving. Pans are Raptor smooth, directionality is precise, and the soundfield, from beginning to end, is as immersive as they come. If your fingers aren't drumming against your leg with McCreary's mesmerizing music, if chills aren't running across your scalp when the Basestars lay waste to the Colonies, if you aren't thoroughly pleased with Universal's efforts every time an explosion rocks the Galactica or an airlock hisses open, your heart is a dark pit from whence nothing returns.
