Battlestar Galactica (2003)

Ok this isn't a movie -but is important to review because of its appeal to some.

Spiritual Issues:

Yes and they are profound and serious. This is the most popular anti-Christian TV show ever. And this is important it is not merely atheistic but rather it is anti-montheism. It is actually pushing neo-paganism.

Child Friendly:

No. Violent, hypersexualized, and although using the word "Frak" is not specifically bad language since that one word covers all of our four letter words - is it really any different - again no.

My Angle:

I remember likeing the 1980's version of this series. I had for years meant to watch the remake but have not had time nor the cable channels necessary until recently. I was surprised to find the new show so anti-Christian with the bad guys (Cylons) being the monotheistic tyrants and the human beings being polytheistic - blending mostly Greek, and Roman mythology together. I went back and watched a few of the old series (1970's and 1980's) and realized they were very "new Agey" and that these mixed the mythology of several pagan religions together with a heavy dose of Egyptology in there. In a manner it is interesting viewing only in that it shows an extreme worldview that is helpful to analyze and study for refutation. Hardly something you would want to expose your children (of any age) to.

Recommendation:
Don't watch unless you want to learn about those who hate monotheism.
