Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

JoeB131 I paid $24.98 for the DVD, which is what I think they spent on sets for this movie. The production values of this left a lot to be desired. I think they had all of five sets, and everything else was green-screened. I know that the old sets from 10 years ago have long since been disbanded and they moved production to Canada to save money, but some elements looked like they were done on the cheap.In the area of story, however, JMS delivered. The first story about Lochley and Father Cassidy was top-notch, exploring issues of what will become of religion in an era of space travel, and a priest with doubts about his own role. They encounter a man who claims to be possessed by a demon, and consider the implications if this is true. The B story is equally good, with Sheridan struggling with an issue to kill someone who might become a genocidal madman. Prince Regent Vitari, son of the Former Emperor Cartagia (never actually said but clearly implied) is to launch a war against Earth in 30 years, according to the technomage Galen, unless Sheridan kills him now. Sheridan instead finds a better course.An interesting touch was that the characters of G'Kar and Stephen Franklin were said to be "exploring beyond the rim". Of course, the actors who played them passed away, and this was a nice tribute to them. (There is also a tribute sequence in the extras).Still, I found this far more enjoyable than the last 60 million dollar Trek bomb.

Clemontine I think this should have been advertised as two episodes on a disc, not a movie, so it wouldn't have been as disappointing.As far as episodes go, I found them very average, but I preferred the first one. At first I really didn't like it, I thought it didn't have a place in sci-fi (being a supernatural/religious story). But in the end I found it intriguing, trying to figure out what was going on and why. Somewhat of a mind game episode, reminded me of 'Comes The Inquisitor'.The second storyline I found rather boring, and a very poor use of Galen's character, although his accent was still the best part of the second half. Nothing happened at all. A lot of talking between Sheridan and Galen, a little bit of flying around (and not even action, just joy riding), then the final decision to do nothing.I guess still a a must-see if you are a hard-core Babylon 5.

grifter78 If you're a B5 fan, you will really enjoy this! It's obvious that JMS had a budget, but I think he did a great job with it. Lochley's story was really great new territory for the series and brought up some great points about religion in this world and even had a really cool revelation about it. Sheridan's story set up a potentially great new character in Prince Vintari and set up a dilemma for Sheridan that was very well done. It was also cool to see Sheridan and Galen interact. If I had any complaints it was the music. I couldn't believe it was Christopher Franke. I loved the work he did in the B5 series but it just didn't seem as good here. Regardless, it was a great start to what I hope turns into bigger and better future B5 productions!

philjohn.com yes, I am a fan. but maybe I should have stopped since the abysmal "Legends of the Rangers". But no, everybody is allowed a bad day, especially jms.with this release, I do not mind the few actors. I do not mind the few effects and the action. I can be happy with two actors talking. many a beautiful thing can happen with Galen and Sheridan and Lockley. to be fair, there are some interesting moments. the beginning of the conversation between Lockley and the priest contain nice elements of serious theology and criticism of religion. then all goes to hell. religious fundamentalism in the b5 universe: demons are real, and it is a very serious business. yawn. this story should have been exorcized completely.with the second story, not so much qualms. but it was indeed a tad tedious, and it could not really perform with the intellectual black hole that was the first part. also, everything was too ominous, too primitively put.has jms lost his touch? well, he had more control with this then ever. I now wonder about who actually did screw up Crusade. I am actually interested in the perspectives of the Studio...thanks for 5 seasons, In the Beginning, A Call to Arms and Crusade (and especially, Evan Chen's music therein). but this, as much as Legends of the Rangers, can only be called a personal insult to the fanbase. yuck.
