La conquête de la Terre

Recently, I had the opportunity to watch this film again on video. I hadn't seen it since it popped up on TV many years ago, but I was always a fan of the Battlestar Galactica concept.

Sadly, this is not really worth watching. Essentially, it is cobbled together from a few episodes of the Battlestar Galactica II (or even III) TV series. It represents a complete departure though. Virtually all cast members from the original are gone, with the exception of Lorne Greene, reprising his role as Adama. The leads are played by Kent McCord (Adam-12) and Barry Van-Dyke (later from Diagnosis Murder). Watching these three actors, and the infrequent appearance of Robert Reed (from the Brady bunch, in one of his last roles)provides most of the interest in this film. The story is shot full of wholes, but only some of that is due to squashing of the episodes together. But really, compared to the unique and incredible concepts from which it was born, this installment is best forgotten (which appears to have been the attitude taken by Richard Hatch and the producers of the upcoming Battlestar Galactica 2000). Conquest of the Earth looked bad in 1980 - its a lot worse in 2000. Roll on the new movie.

the film "Conquest of the Earth" was originaly parts of tv serial "battlestar galactica" 2th season by name "galactica 1980". the galactica fineds home but the cylones behined them....... what will huppend......will cylons destroy earth ???? i remember in 1987-8 we have vcr in [in Soviet Union in 87 who have vcr is very rich man] and father bring movie "star wars" [Conquest of the Earth ] and we wery love this movie , the motorcycle fly and the battles with cylons. in Israel i try to find this movie and in tv, i read that movie "star wars" will be , i started to wach this and i think wait a minut this not star wars that i know and i very desapointed, the same air crafts but where the galactica and cast member.............. and then i so tv commertial about serial "battlestar galactica" 1th and 2th season and i start waching and understand that this is the "star wars".

The third and last Galactica Movie.with none of the original cast.Awful Acting and really bad back projection scenes.The movie was a big letdown and the cast look like they would rather be somewhere else.if you like laughing at bad movies this may do.1 out of 10
