Normally, I could care less for added music but this was epic. It was like, we are dying here. Plus you included the scene that caused me a few man tears, Galactica basically dying after her last "jump." She was dying and she still brought her children home. Good job.
Very nice and excellent choice in music. To date my fave battle is the BSG battle to evacuate New Caprica. From the time Galactica appeared burning in the sky until Pegasus took out those Basestars...epic! If you do another you might consider parts of Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning.
BSG has got to be the greatest sci-fi series ever, i though star wars couldn't be bettered till i watched every episode of BSG, great acting, great story, simple and some epic battle scenes and bob dylan too boot..awesome
Loved the Battlestar Galactica "Cylon Activation" Piano music in the beginning. That is among my most favorite soundtracks from the BSG series. That one and Gaeta's Lament.
Nemesis did make the ships seem actually BIG. No swooping around like fighters, which I appreciated a great deal. The best space battles ever put on film are the one in In The Perkinning, in my opinion.
+WUZLE That is what I noticed as well, big ass cruisers just do not move like the rest of the little bumble bees in this video. These are big ships which need big space to do anything. Different looking fights indeed.
for me, the best scene was when Galactica dropped into atmosphere to rescue some crew left on a colony. Unfortunatelly you didn't include it, and I can't blame you for it. It was more dependant on the context, but still epic
This video... this music... always sends me shivers down my spine. You made a great choice of music and clips! :) A new version of it could benefit from clips from the new Star Trek movies!
One of the most original and interesting uses of FTL concept, they even wrote in later episodes how much damage the ship had from the atmosphere drop, I think the new Star Trek Into Darkness includes an Enterprise free fall that reminds me of the BSG drop, hard to imagine the nacelles taking stress of the drop but who knows, but BSG looked solid enough to handle it.
i would love to see a montage number two, you should include the stargate SG1 battle from season 9 ep 20 "camelot" and the battle from stagate Atlantis season 4 ep 11 "be all my sins remember'd". those were epic! there are also some epic space battles from Babylon 5 that's worth including!
Iron Sky is in it, YEAH. Battlestar Galactica too, of course Serenity as well. Starship Troopers was an awesome one as well but I was not as impressed with the one over Curascant in Star Wars, I prefer the one against the Second Death Star with the whole fleets deployed. Star Trek has gotten better with their Space battles lately, but missing from this list are Stargate, Space Above & Beyond and Babylon 5 too.
We are forgetting Videoame star battles too Masseffect had a pretty good battle and some from the freespace series was good too , and least not forget star lancer
Yep I read those books, and B5 used Mass Drivers in some shows, but you would not even need the MAC rail itself if your ship is capable of near light speed, just a bucket of sand would impact enemy vessels with massive destruction, release it when moving towards enemy at near light speed, then drop velocity and let debris strike at that speed. Devastation.
I've never understood why in sci-fi movies, they have these deep space battles and are never in any kind of advanced space suit. In these scenes, many of those who aren't killed in on ship explosions die via being spaced without protection.
I think the key to any good space battle is to suggest ship mass and size by slow, realistic movements that represent a huge metallic vessel maneuvering in zero G, meaning no fighter jet turning and stop on a dime dogfighting, there has to be scale and mass suggested through proper movement and velocity....thats what made battles in something like DS9 inferior to BSG, DS9 ships moved like F18s but were supposedly huge, B5 made the same error. Watch any DS9 battle at half speed and it works.
I liked everything except the Revenge of the Siith and Star Trek: Nemesis stuff. Both have too much I-hated-the-movie baggage for me. I was also surprised and pleased at the inclusion of Iron Sky footage. Whatever else you say about that movie, you can't deny it has an awesome space battle in it.
I liked the Iron sky and Nemesis shots - Serenity, BSG, Star Wars and Starship Troopers are all over these space battle compilations. Not sure about the first two, though - pretty "tame" battles . . .
Some battles from Stargate would have been good in this, like the battle of Camelot in SG1 and the battle of Asura in SG Atlantis. Good compilation by the way.
It might be just me, but can you make this available for mobiles? I actually use this video often to remind me of my engineering goals :) not the space battles, just the ideas of space. It would be nice to watch this during my class breaks haha
***** Evolution is a religion?! LOL way to project your own mental infirmities on other people. Must be great having all your worries answered by some book written thousands of years ago by kooks and frauds.
***** Incorrect, actually. The theory of evolution is just that, a scientific theory. Saying it's a religion is like saying the theory of general relativity is a religion.
doxide I'll take peace instead. "I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." John 14:27
i agree with you.but i have to say though,i wanted to see the show because the space battles really impressed me.but when i watched the show the battles felt too short or they showed almost mothing of it when they happened . no offense but it looks more epic if cut it together.
I'm very disappointed that there isn't a single scene from Babylon 5 on here considering that the show set the standard for space battle scenes in a sci-fi television series.
I really liked stargate. Star trek I enjoyed. Babylon 5 I tried to watch it But it just felt like watching pure cheese and it was sooo corny i had to stop watching it. Battlestar galactica was fantastic Could not believed I missed it when it was out... PS your head is safe cause it is well put together by a good backing soundtrack ;)
This Music....i remember it from somewhere..... OH YES!!
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!!
Love that music!!
Great choice of clips. I was very happy to see some of my favorites in here as well.
Aww, no DS9 Sacrifice of Angels...that's one of the most awesome space battles of all time imo.
Love the BSG music. Always epic under any circumstances...!
Finally realistic space battles. You can't hear any of the sounds.
if you watched a sci-fi show, and there was no sound in the battles, would you honestly watch it? :P
The Hazelnoot
Of course not.
sometimes unrealistic is better then :D
6:51 what are those ships called
i think they are from starship troopers, but i dont know their names :I

Adama and Picard must've gone to the same school, considering they both rammed something with their ship.

I could not agree more. Exodus has to be the best episode of an iconic series.

Iron Sky, lol I remember that, odd movie, but amazing effects!

Best video soundtrack. Awesome montage!
Came for space explosions. Stayed because...
IT'S IN THE FRAKING SHIP!
for me, the best scene was when Galactica dropped into atmosphere to rescue some crew left on a colony. Unfortunatelly you didn't include it, and I can't blame you for it. It was more dependant on the context, but still epic
Yesssss so glad you ended with some Star Trek!
This video... this music... always sends me shivers down my spine. You made a great choice of music and clips! :) A new version of it could benefit from clips from the new Star Trek movies!
And from the newest EVE Online trailers too!
Frell, that's nice editing! Thank you very much, pal! :0)
A very nice compilation.
I liked it, very cool. cool music to go with it. very cool
Great job man. Its hard to beat any of the BSG battles though. They are by far my favorite, none grittier or more "realistic".
Nothing like a good battle! Be it space or on the ground!
I think if you play Saviour by Position Music right at 2:57 it syncs up awesomely
WHAT IS ALL THIS BADASSERY?!?
My favorite was the battlestar galactica scenes. I love that show
That was fantastic!
BAttlestar galactica made me tear up... But it was FREAKING AWESOME
You know one battle I would've loved to see on this list? The first battle from Lost in Space (1997). I loved that movie when I was a kid
Brilliant video,enjoyed it a lot :-)
I was not expecting to see Iron Sky right away....
Good video and battles :)
very good choices, and put together in a very sensible order, however, it would been awesome instead of very good if it was HD. :)
majestic

You do not know the significance of that statement. You are obviously not a BattleStar Galactica fan. Good day.
man.. miss it.

there are also some epic space battles from Babylon 5 that's worth including!
The last part was badass
Throw in a Shadow cruiser, sit back and watch the fun!
space battles are a great thing.
but sometimes its not what happens in a battle that makes it great,its how you film it.
(babylon 5 nailed it for me)
Schönes Video,gute Musik.
I don't remember any space battles in Avatar.
That's right, but the was a battle in the sky, not in space :) So you have right about that :)
this is an awesome vid
Some of the Eve Online battles look massive/awesome....
Iron Sky is in it, YEAH. Battlestar Galactica too, of course Serenity as well. Starship Troopers was an awesome one as well but I was not as impressed with the one over Curascant in Star Wars, I prefer the one against the Second Death Star with the whole fleets deployed.

yeah Space Above & Beyond and Babylon 5!!!! You´re sooo right man!
BSG (classic) is much better than the remake from 2004.
We are forgetting Videoame star battles too Masseffect had a pretty good battle and some from the freespace series was good too , and least not forget star lancer
Thumbs up for the preference of second death star battle over Couracant battle alone.
Iron Sky was surprisingly realistic, for a gag movie
Thank you
The battle at the resurrection ship was the best.
Excellent!
Good job!
Yep I read those books, and B5 used Mass Drivers in some shows, but you would not even need the MAC rail itself if your ship is capable of near light speed, just a bucket of sand would impact enemy vessels with massive destruction, release it when moving towards enemy at near light speed, then drop velocity and let debris strike at that speed. Devastation.
Thanks. Ill look into it
Возможно это лучшие сцены из всех что есть на эту тему.
Perhaps this is the best scene of all that is on this subject.
great vid
Me agrada la ciencia fixion ojala y suban mas videos😃😊😊
i am a sucker for the flak barrages.
Man, you don't wanan fly through those ^^
I've never understood why in sci-fi movies, they have these deep space battles and are never in any kind of advanced space suit. In these scenes, many of those who aren't killed in on ship explosions die via being spaced without protection.
My favorite was the battle of the bassen rift

love that firefly battle

Star wars 3 the best battlestar forever :) :) :)
opening sceen to farscape the peacekeeper wars is wicked too as a space battle
Cap. Picard and his crew fighting against Praetor Shinzon on the Scimitar and his crew hehe :) I have that movie on DVD here at home :p
for a second In the beginning I forgot I was watching fiction and was like wtf do they have a fighter jet
what movie was the battle with the ship getting blown in half from blue energy bolts shot from the planet from?
Some battles from Stargate would have been good in this, like the battle of Camelot in SG1 and the battle of Asura in SG Atlantis. Good compilation by the way.
What about above the Forest moon of Endor in Return of the Jedi?
It might be just me, but can you make this available for mobiles? I actually use this video often to remind me of my engineering goals :) not the space battles, just the ideas of space. It would be nice to watch this during my class breaks haha
what was the movie with the blimp looking space ships at around 2:45? anybody?
Iron sky
Epic!
i think we can all agree that everyone who got sucked out into space during the fights were red-shirts
What movie is the battle at 2:02 from? Thanks
Should have included footage from the DS9 episode Sacrifice of Angels.
Loved the vid. Whats the name of the song?
Dear God, please let this be our future.
i want to be cloned before though. because, DEATH

woo star wars
Anyone know what show that was in the beginning after the opening shots of the movie Avatar?
Bro that Music 0__o
"Battle at Big K" was more like a one sided slaughter (Humans on he losing side)
I'm very disappointed that there isn't a single scene from Babylon 5 on here considering that the show set the standard for space battle scenes in a sci-fi television series.
I really liked stargate. Star trek I enjoyed. Babylon 5 I tried to watch it But it just felt like watching pure cheese and it was sooo corny i had to stop watching it. Battlestar galactica was fantastic Could not believed I missed it when it was out...
PS your head is safe cause it is well put together by a good backing soundtrack ;)
what movie are the space blimps from
ya just HAD to go weapons hot....didn't ya? did you consider space rocks? yeah, those things...
Where is the mass effect 3 final battle!?
Tardis at 2:38 very small ship but barely seen
what was the second one from, the one after avatar
This movie Is called Iron flight.
BSG Music
You could have replaced the Avatar scene with Stargate and it would have been perfect
Why feature the ISV Venture Star? It's a freighter, not a battleship.
defining element of all space battles...... shakycam
What a chaos
Hotdog said something like "well.. this should be different" didnt he?
Where is the STARGATE ???????!!!!!
Stargate have the best space battles of all time. :P
If I remember it correctly, most battles where one-sided curb stomps.
I'm sorry I got to 2:16, not one single battle in this montage, just a CGI Earth in Jupiter's orbit, with ripped off Battle Star Music
yeah Iron Sky! :D
what is the beginning space battle from?
Iron Sky
