Scott Williams Boston Globe Great special effects do not make for great science fiction. Writing is what makes TV series cook. Unfortunately, writing is the single biggest problem haunting Babylon 5. May 3, 2018 Full Review Tom Bierbaum Variety There is potential. It would be a shame if the judgment call goes against "Babylon 5" and it ends up being a one-shot telefilm.

Audience Member No, it doesn't get better. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Brandy J I often watch This on my list of sci-fi: Farscape, DS9, and Stargate Series as they are all so good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review AlHaqim Babylon 5 is by far one of the greatest sci fi epics that has ever grace tv. The emotion and story telling in these series will leave you talking about B5 for years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/22 Full Review kyle c I haven't watched the rest of Babylon 5 (yet), so I can't say how effective this is as a pilot, but as a standalone film it doesn't hold up that well. The writing is pretty cheesy, the acting is awful at times, and the special effects and score feel a lot more early-80s than early-90s. That being said, the story is fairly engaging and the world was interesting enough to make me want to watch the rest of the series. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member this is how it all began Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty goofy. Wish they had used models instead of 90's CGI... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
