太空堡垒卡拉狄加：计划

很多人不理解这部电影的点，这个不能当成一部原创科幻电影来看，处处是为原电视剧服务的，好比一个大大的补丁包。转一篇IMDB的影评，解释得比较充分，有空我再翻译。总之，没看过电视剧，别看这个电影！！！------------------------------------------------First of all let me get one thing straight, this is in no way an original Battlestar Galatica story. Razor had a story that centered around a new character and told a somewhat self-contained story. This is almost the complete opposite; no relevant new characters, no truly new plot lines. This film is essentially a side story of the original two seasons. It deals with the attack on the colonies and the subsequent invasion and pursuit of Galactica from the point of view of the Cylons; not just the original 8 models but also the final five.The main character is actually Brother Cavil, in two different forms one on Caprica and one on-board Galatica. We see that Cavil plays a crucial role in orchestrating the Cylon events on the Galactica, while his Caprica counterpart takes the role of a distant observer to the struggling band of survivors on Caprica.What I really liked about this movie is that it kind of ties everything together. It retreads the old plot lines of the first two seasons, but knowing the revelations to take place it puts everything in a different light. It also explores the intense cruelty and duality of Cavil. Additionally, some of the plot lines that were never quite clear, begin to make sense. (How did Leobin know so much about Kara? Where Valeri's actions intentional?) There are three issue that I can foresee someone having with this. The first being, that some might feel it being a retcon of the first two seasons to connects the events of the fourth. While this might be somewhat true, I don't think it takes anything away from them, and if you liked the fourth season it adds something significant to it. The second issue is that it is a retread. We already know exactly what happens to all these characters. But I don't think that the compelling part of this is what happens so much as why it happens, and what feelings and emotions are fueling the Cylons. The third is that there are basically no space battles to be seen here. There is a great opening sequence where we get a much more in depth look at the destruction of the colonies, but for a show called Battlestar Galatica we might expect some space jockey action.I am not a prude but I must say that after seeing the unrated DVD, there is a bit of gratuitous nudity. Not that I had a problem with it, so to say, but it felt a little out of place, like it was trying to be a little shocking. Maybe it was just trying to give us a taste of what the show would have been like on HBO, i dunno just felt a little tacked on.Overall this is a great companion piece to the series, does not feel entirely necessary but at the same time doesn't feel like it didn't need to be in the first place.

I don't want to be human!I want to see gamma rays.I want to hear x-rays,and I want to...I want to smell dark matter.I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me.I'm a machine,and I could know much more.从cylon人型机器人一号口中说出的这段话总算结束了我这段时间断断续续的【太空堡垒卡拉狄加】之旅，请容我长舒一口气。看电视剧那叫一个累，没体力看不来。但对于这部剧，我心甘情愿……且不说本身的剧情构架巨酷无比，末世的绝望中，邻人敬畏的黑暗星空中的人类幸存者舰队与由人类创造的cylon人的进化型之间展开的第二次战争……光是那写实风格的镜头，快速拉近，推远，摇晃，配上蝮蛇战机利用机身各个部分的喷气缓冲装置摇摇晃晃的全手动降落在停机仓内，并向前缓缓滑行一段距离。真实得让人看了想流泪。真不明白一部电视剧的特效怎么能做这么体面的。民主，宗教信仰，种族歧视等等令人肃然起敬的话题在这里都进行了深入探讨，并且剧情与主题结合处处皆堪称完美，毫无生搬硬套之感。相反【英雄】那些垃圾剧就只能靠故弄玄虚逻辑混乱的扯淡故事来吸引人。殖民地总统竞选的选票阴谋，人类与cylon人的杯具恋情，不健全的司法体制下的审判，人肉炸弹的在战争中的价值，劳工工作超时罢工及其子女的无选择性不公平人生，在神话与现实思维中找到平衡点制定出寻找人类传说中第十三殖民地Earth的计划……太多太多对现实世界的暗喻已经被这部剧玩到了极致。梭尔·泰上校是我最喜爱的剧中人物。这人虽有些尖酸，脾气有些暴躁，还爱喝酒，但他那正义的信念，那与奥达玛指挥官的友谊及对其的无比忠诚，得知自己是cylon时依然坚守岗位的那种骨气……这秃顶老头太他妈有魅力了！每次他随便说句什么话便能打动我，记得有次他喝醉了对同是cylon的妻子说道（只记得大概）：“我不知道我是否做了两千年的cylon人，我不记得那些了。但这舰队上的人，这些每天和我生活在一起的人，才是我关心的，唯一关心的。别说你和我是两千年的夫妻，我不记得，但我与那老头子(奥达玛指挥官)的友谊,frak~~~!!!!!”(frak=fuck=操他妈了个巴子的)他喊frak声音突然很响，当时我就震惊了。回头想想这根本没什么，但我就是被震住了，彻彻底底的……其震惊指数堪比我最近听的Metallica的处女砖【Kill ’em All】，艹，激流金属原来是这么回事哦，豁然开朗~怎么以前都没反应过来呢？之前听他们后几张砖都没什么大触动，而这一次只能说是相见恨晚。听了一寒假丝毫不腻。贝司的急速演奏与鼓的完美配合使得压迫感，厚重感，快感一并涌入我脑袋，那种原始，粗糙，野味爆棚的声音让我瞬间有了砍人的冲动，就跟专辑封面一摸一样，也跟专辑名一摸一样，手拿大铁锤敲着大铁钉，跟着音乐节奏铛，铛，铛，铛，敲进脑门，血浆四溅……把他们丫全杀光！当然BSG中的音乐也是正中我下怀！开头的凯尔特女声吟唱充分营造了凄美的末世意境，突然一男声闷闷的一吼，紧接着密集而极具节奏感的鼓声响起，配上快速的画面剪辑，让人喘不过气。结尾也是画面一黑，男声一吼，紧接着鼓点响起……这鼓敲的……再也找不到比这更符合这剧集风格的音乐了，每次都是看得还没回过神来鼓声已震翻耳鼓膜，就在这迅雷不及掩耳盗铃响叮当之势间把我震得欲罢不能。接着余音绕梁，三日不绝。当然，音乐的使用在第三季最后一集达到了高潮。那集4个角色都听到了模糊的不成形的音乐，然后各自说出了一句话：There must be some kind of way out of here,said the joker to the thief.there's too much confusion,I can't get no relief.艹，【All along the watchtower】啊！接着4人来到一间机舱，发现自己是cylon人……紧接着cylon敌机进攻，当战机离舰迎战时，Jimi Hendrix的吉他啸叫声便响了起来……我知道这时我对BSG的爱又多了一分……最后我发现这电视剧居然是翻拍……那个最后闹革命不成被扔出太空舱的副总统在原版里是演Apollo的（我看时就觉得他年轻时应该很帅）……然后Starbuck在原版里是男的（为什么这么多人爱她，你看TBBT里Howard那次yy的）……电视剧就说到这儿了，好累。但是对于【All along the watchtower】这首歌，我一直不大理解他的歌词到底在说什么，上网找也没有答案，这让我很是苦恼。作为一首名曲，那么多地方都借用过，却没有确切的含义，Bob Dylan到底想说什么呢？或许接下来Bob Dylan来中国的演唱会时可以去问问他。不过可以想见，大神级的演唱会票价也一定是大神级的……

如同片名一样，主要讲述的就是1号制定并展开计划的故事，时间上就是从供给12殖民地之前的14小时一直到1号被识别出为止。1号是整个计划主要的发起者和推进者，在整个特殊型号中，基本上以领导者自居，而且坚信要消灭掉一切人类，因为他的父母爱人类胜于爱他。这多少有点望圣经故事中靠拢的意思。但是在实行计划的阶段中，1号的不同个体中也存在了分歧，有一个一号就认为发动整个供给是大错特错的。电视剧中并没有交代这名一号的结局，估计是被占有人数优势的那些一号给永久冻结了吧。最后一刻的环视，所有Final Five全都到场，颇有感觉……

开场就是赛昂人围坐一圈，讨论要不要炸掉人类。没有铺垫，没有解释，仿佛默认观众都看过几百集剧集。这种傲慢的叙事姿态，直接决定了《太空堡垒卡拉狄加：计划》的受众只能是铁粉。豆瓣6.9分，2132人评价，数据不会骗人——这分数放在任何一部独立电影里都只能算及格，但对于一个有着深厚粉丝基础的IP衍生品，恰恰暴露了它的尴尬：粉丝觉得信息量不够，路人觉得不知所云。影片企图通过赛昂人的视角重新解释灭族动机，这立意本可以很精彩——比如揭露人类对赛昂人的压迫，或者展示赛昂人内部的道德困境。但实际呈现出来的，不过是一群面无表情的机器人开会、发愁、再开会。那个被剧迷津津乐道的“计划”，说白了就是赛昂人内部也分鹰派鸽派，最后鸽派输给鹰派，于是地球挨炸。如此单薄的逻辑，需要观众用对剧集的爱去脑补填充，否则80分钟里你只能看到一堆机械脸在谈哲学。观众反馈里“剧情推进偏平缓，缺少足够的戏剧冲突”是客观陈述，不是挑刺。全片最高潮可能只有最后几分钟的毁灭镜头，但那也只不过是把剧里已经炸过一次的地球再炸一遍。演员们的表演倒是保持了剧集水准，Tricia Helfer的六号依然冷艳，Grace Park的八号依然迷茫，但再好的演员也救不了一个原地踏步的剧本。最让我在意的是导演Edward James Olmos亲自上阵饰演阿达玛，这大概是全片最大的彩蛋——但你得先认得出他。可惜，对于普通观众来说，这根本不是惊喜，而是又一道需要跨过的门槛。说白了，《计划》是一部给剧迷的注释文档，不是一部电影。如果你没看过原剧，直接跳过；如果你看过，可能会觉得——嗯，还是把时间留给重刷原剧更好。
