Top review. The new widescreen DVD. Having just seen a "restored" theatrical print a couple of months ago and now having seen the new DVD, I can say that it is virtually flawless.
The subtlety of color makes many sequences appear almost three dimensional especially on the Galactica. They appear to have removed most of the annoying matte lines from some scenes, although a few garbage mattes are visible. Some scenes that were almost unviewable blurs on the VHS have been restored to almost crystal clarity.
Also visible are occasional film scratches, but it is far superior to anything I have seen since the 70's theatrical release in "Sensurround" or however they spelled it.
If you are a Galactica nut or even a fan, you will cherish this in your collection. I don't work for Universal! FAQ 1. What is the movie about? Details Edit. Release date May 18, United States.

Its final episode "The Hand of God" was telecast on April 29, Larson to consider restarting the series.
