In 2015, Universal remastered the original Battlestar Galactica series from 1978.
Three years later, for the 40th anniversary, I finally picked up the Definitive Collection, which has both the 1978 series and Galactica 1980, along with the original theatrical release.
The difference between the two editions is that the Definitive Collection has both series in widescreen and fullscreen, while the Remastered Collection only has the widescreen presentations.
That’s why I waited until the price dropped considerably before picking up the Definitive Collection.
I started watching the widescreen version, and while it looked spectacular, it looked weird because it was not filmed in that format.
I then started watching the fullscreen version, and it still looks spectacular.
Much like watching remastered Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes, the difference can really be seen in the space FX shots.
I’m thinking that I may just watch the last episode of Galactica 1980.
