Trivia
Microsoft sponsored free screenings in theaters in New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Dallas and Seattle. Although fans were thrilled at the prospect of the screenings being free, they were dismayed when halfway through the program stopped for a series of Xbox commercials. These were unanimously met with booing by the audiences.

Goofs
During Operation Raptor Talon the Battlestar Columbia changes into the Galactica several times when it is hit by missiles.

Doesn't hack it as a standalone movie

This is a great episode of galactica that sits outside the main plot to the fill some gaps for avid fans. However after seeing this in the DVD store its obviously being packaged as a standalone movie to which it doesn't stay true. Straight off the boat there are specific references to moments you'll barely remember as an avid fan. I tried to introduce my friend to galactica with this episode and we gave up after 2 minutes. Its used as a mechanism to introduce new characters for the next series and show their role in the pegasus plot tree. Even as an avid fun up for a good episode I would recommend some revision of the previous series beforehand.
