This is one I can watch over and over. The movie puts the viewer through many emotions-excitement, sadness, concern, and a sense of triumph.
Overall, it is one of the saddest, what with Zach's death, the destruction of Colonies'. But we get great dramatic acting from Maren Jensen in these scenes, such as her very
well-played devastation over the loss of Caprica, followed by a great scene with Starbuck where she breaks the news to him.
The whole last battle on and around Carillon is epic and anticipation for it is built up nicely. I still get goosebumps
when I watch the Vipers launch from Carillon's surface. It's a little less dramatic but still fun when Starbuck climbs out of the Landram and asks what's going on and he is told: "Courtesy of Commander Adama" and he lets out a
high-pitched Yee-Haw!
And the end music as Starbuck and Apollo approaching the landing bays is also very dramatic.
A great movie.
