Richard A. Colla’s BATTLESTAR GALCTICA
(PG, 1978, 125 min)
Blast off with the original crew of the Battlestar Galactica for a rare, one-of-a-kind experience! Before the iconic TV series took over in the 2000s, this 1978 theatrical version gave us the first look at the epic struggle between humanity and the Cylons, with Lorne Greene and Richard Hatch leading a ragtag crew through space and time. The groundbreaking special effects were crafted by none other than John Dykstra, the same genius behind Star Wars. With its over-the-top visuals, bold ambition, and space opera drama, this film set the stage for what would become a pop culture phenomenon. It’s your chance to see where it all began—before the reboots, the remakes, and the endless Cylons. Grab your seat; the stars are waiting!
