I got the DVD yesterday and watched it last night before bed.
Then I watched it again before actually sleeping.
The movie isn't an action-adventure, there aren't a lot of shootouts or starships blowing up, but it captured my attention and engaged me like a lot of recent shows haven't. The acting wasn't over the top, but much more believable and nuanced than what I've seen with BSG. Often I forgot that I was watching a TV movie and just enjoyed being egrossed in the plot. Caprica is science fiction intelligently written and executed.
If anyone else has seen this, share what you think.
I have it lying around to watch eventually but I haven't gotten around to it, yet. It's good to hear something positive about it though.
My wife and I love the BSG series, and the New Caprica series looks phenomenal! My wife likened it to the works of hard-SciFi writer Robert J. Sawyer in depth and morality.
I also enjoyed it immensely and can't wait for the series to start. jswa, you should get onto watching it, it's very, very good science fiction.
Got a copy on my usb drive atm(its not got a uk dvd release date atm so i forund a torrent) ive only seen a lil bit of it so far but it looks alot different to the descriptions people have given of it on scifi forumsm, gonna have to make sure i watch this once it starts on tv over here.
