What they share

Theysit in Horror / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Alien, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack is

Space. Distant alarms. A lone, crippled Galactica nearly out of fuel, facing total annihilation. Salvation appears in the form of the Battlestar Pegasus, thought lost, now engaging the Cylons directly. Classic TV sci-fi gets a theatrical re-edit.
