I’m a big Scifi buff and I’ve seen my share of “battles” done with space ships, like Star Trek’s Enterprise D where they yell shields up . they fire phasers (or if your lucky, photon torpedoes) and you see the camera shake a little. Not to mention that they are always face to face (as if space is 2d), even in later Star Trek shows such as Voyager or movies such as Nemesis (Deep Space Nine was an exception but the 2D rule still seemed to apply). So the excuse that technology (or budget) was a factor can’t be used.

Star Wars did a pretty decent job, I might say but this Friday I was truly impressed with what I saw on Battlestar Galactica. I hope that future producers are paying attention (hint hint J.J. Abrams). Instead of just talking about it, I’ve added some of the clips that truly impressed me (there are more but lets just keep it at these two). You be the judge. (Quicktime 7 required).
