Everything "The Plan" tells us about Battlestar Galactica we already knew from the show.
The old plan: Kill all humans.
Some people survived.
The new plan: Kill those humans.
Meanwhile, various cylon individuals feel that "love" is very powerful, and decide to sympathize with the humans. The main Cavil says, "Screw that," and goes off to try and kill more people, but that comes to no surprise.
What did we expect out of this movie, anyway? There are a couple "plans" that I can think of that could use some extra explaining.
Why did the number 1's decide to reintroduce the Final 5 back into human society before the attack on the colonies? This movie does nothing to talk about how the Final 5 fit into Cavil's so-called plan.
What about the Simon's trying to find a way for cylons to give birth? No details on that plan.
What divine right did God give the cylons? Who knows.
Which deep, social and culturally relevant topics is James Edward Olmos addressing? Not sure.
Even as an avid fan of BSG, I'm not sure why this movie is rated so high by other people. The story was not gripping, insightful, or even entirely original (like Razor). Instead, it was disconnected, droll, and underwhelming.
