"We were never actually told the details of the Cylons' ultimate plan to annihilate humanity when the series began. The made a dramatic reappearance after vanishing for forty years and with the destruction of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, nearly wiped out the human race. Now with this new film all is revealed. The story opens 281 days after the destruction of the colonies during the season one episode 'Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II' where Brother John Cavil (Dean Stockwell) has just been exposed as a Cylon by another model of himself. This is the story of two Cavil's: Fleet Cavil, who has infiltrated the surviving fleet as a minister, hoping to break it from the inside and Caprica Cavil, who gets involved with a group of resistance fighters led by Sam Anders (Michael Trucco) and begins to question whether the Cylon attack was justified. Flashing back two days before the attack we finally get to see the destruction in full detail (thanks in part to an increased visual effects budget)."

"Not only is there more than one Cavil, but as always multiple version of Number Six (Tricia Helfer) including a raven haired one who is a bit of a floozy and ends up sharing his bed. It was Cavil who enlisted Number Six “Shelly Godfrey” to accuse Dr. Gaius Baltar of (James Callis) being a traitor in the episode “Six Degrees of Separation” in order to discredit him and put a stop to his construction of a Cylon detector. Another version of Number Four “Simon” (Rick Worthy) is also introduced, only he is a medic aboard Galactica. With a human wife (who works a a mechanic with Chief Tyrol) and adopted daughter, he's quite content with his human family and tries to buy as much time as he can, knowing Cavil's efforts will inevitably kill them all. While there are an evil Cavil and a sympathetic Simon aboard Galactica, the reverse exists on Caprica."

"If you are a fan of this series, both the blu-ray and dvd are highly recommended. This film will no doubt be edited down for length (and a surprising amount of sex and nudity) when it is broadcast next year so if you decide to wait, you may find yourself missing out."
