StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 36 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/05/23 Full Review kyle c This was an interesting, if maybe unnecessary, prequel to the Babylon 5 series. It was certainly nice to see the origin story of all of our favorite characters, even if some of them felt more like glorified cameos and some characters were curiously absent. But unfortunately, a lot of the interactions between characters felt a bit too coincidental and in many cases, it was unbelievable that characters would not later recognize each other. Overall, this movie is fairly entertaining, although it suffers from the same issues as most prequels - because we already know how the story will end, there is not much in which to get invested and real tension is difficult to come by. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Wish Warner Bros would release series rights back to MJS. Petty not to. Thereâ(TM)s so many possibilities and no hope for the future. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is only for fans of the show. For fans of the show, the characters and the cameos has great significance to the overall story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a fan of sic fi at all, but this show was pretty decent. The characters are what kept this show from becoming dull. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member If your a B5 fan, this movie will be like gold to you!! Myself being a huge B5 fan loved this movie so much. It had everything we wanted to see in this movie. The story is based on what happened during the Earth-Minbari war. What made this movie so good is that any story or little incident that was mentioned in the series about this war was in this movie!!! Must see movie for all B5 fans!!
