This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I like Crusade almost as much as I like Babylon 5. It is similar enough to Babylon 5 that you can believe it is set in the same Universe, but it is different enough to be fresh and new. The characters all work well together and there is plenty of character development. The stories are all convincing and they cover many different aspects of science fiction.I thought the chemistry between Lochley and Gideon, and between Gideon and Galen, was great. Max, Dureena, and Dr. Chambers have some good scenes too. The "X-Files episode" was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. It's a shame they didn't make more episodes.

When you introduce a new story and new characters in the world of "Babylon 5" you have got a lot to live up to! At first I hated the idea of a ship traveling in unknown space to explore and search for a cure to heal the human race! The traveling part reminded me too much of Star Trek! But when I saw how they handled different subjects I did recognize some elements that made "Babylon 5" so brilliant! What I did miss was some tension that played a big part in the Babylon 5 universe! I knew that if this series had gotten the chance to continue it would have been just as great as "Babylon 5" was! Some shows need time to grow and tell the story! The first season of "Babylon 5" also needed time to develop and to make sense! From what I have seen "Crusade" had great potential and that's why it is sad that they canceled it!

How many shows/films at IMDB get better that 60% positive feedback? As I read the reviews for crusade, I only see a couple of people that didn't like the show. (One of them just wasn't ready for the different direction in music and assumes everyone feels the same way.) The rest of the people were touched by a great vision that was never completed.It's amazing that Crusade became my favourite TV show after watching just 2 episodes. The combination of stories, acting and music just worked. I had very little clue that the show had been meddled with until I seriously watched the episodes in sucession. Even after finding out about TNT and the cancellation, it didnt remove my enjoyment.

To compare Crusade and/or Babylon 5 to shows like "Space, Above And Beyond" or "Lost in Space" is absurd! Babylon 5 was far above any other sci-fi series ever made. The special effects were state of the art and spectacular. The characters were superb, the stories ingenious and suspense was masterfully done.The break from the usual "resolve everything in 40 minutes" mindset was refreshingly absent in B5. You never knew when a regular was going to buy the farm, which made it much more interesting. There was a darker tone to the show at times, which may have put off devotees of the aforementioned "formula" shows. The classic battle of good and evil, coupled with an extremely adept job of portraying the slimy world of politics and corruption of governments was a delight.I'm just sorry it is no longer being made.
