So-So B5 Movie
3
Posted by: from Milwaukee, WI on 02/10/2008At the time that I bought the movie I really wanted to see the movie and after watching the movie I felt a little dissapointed since I was expected more than what I really got. I was expecting to see one long running movie and in the end I got two episodes that loosely overlapped. I got a possible theology lesson and a morality play which took me a while to appreciate only after being very upset about not seeing the action that was hoping to see. While I know that very committed fans of B5 would love to have this movie as a part of their collections those that aren't very committed to the television series might want to wait to catch this movie on sale.

It's a good start

Posted by: from on 12/08/2007:) From the perspective of a B5 fanboy. For B5 fans, this is a great addition to the B5 universe. As a starting point for getting into B5, you should watch the series or at least the movies first. There isn't a lot of action in this DVD, but the two stories presented are both well done. The best way to describe this DVD is that instead of several intertwined stories that make up a regular episode they are separated and given their own treatment. As a stand alone B5 episodes they fall short, but they set the foundation for future installments. They acknowledge the passing of Andreas Katsulas and Richard Biggs in a classy way without destroying the integrity of the B5 universe.

Kinda weak - but brings back memories

Posted by: from Nashville, TN on 09/15/2007Best way to describe this would be to say it ranks right up there with some of the weakest episodes from the series. We all know the show was the strongest on its story arc/mythology episodes. This movie... essentially 2 episodes.. doesn't have any connection to the mythology. In comparison to today's Battlestar Galactica, its definitely lacking. But as a reminder of the show i once loved, its totally worth it.

Not quite what was expected... But Nostalgic.

Posted by: from Sunny South Florida :D on 09/10/2007I thought this movie might be a little more exciting or at least engrossing... It's more like 2 episodes combined into 1 movie. On the "Plus" side - The best thing about the story line is it's told on a much more personal scale. The cast is pretty small so the B5 Station seems pretty empty. The visual/special effects are very cool. A couple of the Special features were kind of cool too. There's one with JMS doing a Sock Puppet version of a couple characters that's silly but, Funny. If you're a big fan of the series, then I would recommend getting this dvd JUST for the Memorial Tributes to Ambassador G'Kar (Andreas Katsulas) and Dr. Steven Franklin (Richard Biggs) that might even bring a tear to your eye.

Babylon 5 Hunger Satisfied
4
Posted by: from on 09/09/2007The Lost Tales DVD is new Babylon 5 DVD movie that has been long awaited. But brace yourself, this doesn't quite feel like a traditional B5 episode. It is two separate stories told on a much smaller, personal scale. There aren't many extras (as in actors) so the station feels a bit empty. But once I got past this, I enjoyed The Lost Tales very much. What was truly wonderful was the special features. In my opinion, the disk was worth it just for that. There is some very funny footage of JMS demonstrating his plan to film the movies with sock puppets. And there are wonderful interviews with each of the B5 principals. Plus behind the scenes stuff, and Q&A with JMS. The Lost Tales is not B5 as we remember it, but the spirit is still the same, the stories are still engaging, and the graphics are better.
