Movie Reviews of Babylon 5: The Lost Tales
Movie Review: Truely emaculate Storytelling!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just saw B5 The Lost Tales and Joe Straczynski has nailed it! Man Oh man this is awesome Science Fiction storytelling.
Lost Tales One is fantastic! Do not listen to the Naysayers above. This is B5 with the atmosphere of third season of the original series. The acting, directing & wow the CGI is incredible! You feel like you have stepped out of the computer of the CGI of old and are really outside the five mile long station orbiting Epsolon Eindi, like you are really there. The storytelling was truly top notch. My wife and I watch a lot of Science Fiction television & movies and I was indeed anxious about yet another B5 adventure and really quite aprehensious about another B5 tale when other offerings had some real problems here and there, not being all B5 ought to be. But, this time it has been nailed. It was so wonderful. Buy it and Joe will be able to make more. Wow, wow, wow.

Movie Review: Don't Believe the Nay-Sayers - This is True B5
Summary: 5 Stars
Its been what, 8-10 years since the last episode of Babylon 5 aired? Doesn't matter. This release is true to the show. It is as if I just watched a brand new extended episode. Not a lame attempt to recreate past glories, but a new piece to the story, true to the original series, adding to the original story line with the same texture and spirit ... I want more! More, More, More !!!!! If nothing else, this movie offers a possible new definition of Hell which pretty much satisfies science, science-fiction, and Biblical requirements, all while remaining true B5. If that alone doesn't justify the price of this disc, then you are not a true B5 fan. However, if you are a B5 fan and know the storyline of this wonderful series, this disk is a must. It could have been released many years ago as part of a sixth season - it's absolutely seamless, and very good. Babylon 5 is back. Woo-Hoo! We are star stuff!Movie Review: It's all about the Characters!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just saw the DVD.. and I now understand a lot of the critiques on Amazon.
But those people who had the gripes were obviously not real B5 fans;
they are the occasional scifi fan.. the interlopers..
perhaps even a lurker or 2 .. but not a real B5 fan.
This was a lovely present.
No earth shakening event protrayed but then B5 wasn't about the earthshattering stuff,
it was about the characters that we loved.
We look down upon the B5 universe in a straight line..
we know its beginning and its end.
These DVDs, and the ones that will follow,
are the texture, the short interludes..
the touch of whip cream on a dessert.
It will not sate those who do not know the B5 universe..
nor the ardent scifi fan..
but it felt good to be there again;
that was enough.

Movie Review: In the Best Tradition of B5..
Summary: 5 Stars
Gonna keep this short, but had to write this review... Just watched the 1st of what will hopefully be a series of further stories by JMS involving the heart of the B5 universe - that is, the station, Sheridan, and the crew and cast I have grown to love - for me, this was in the best tradition of Babylon 5! I truly enjoyed the character driven arcs (I was actually applauding at the end of each story), the cgi was awesome, and was totally surpised by the judeo christian overtones on the 1st segment - never saw it coming (but then I deliberately avoided the press on this release). Nevertherless... GREAT SCIFI. Thank You JMS! This was truly a visit with old friends, sad as it was that not all could attend, the references to Londo and Gkar were treasures, particularly Londo's joke regarding trusting Sheridan with his life... CLASSIC. I sincerely hope there is a more to come.Movie Review: Just bought it, watched it, loved it. More please, JMS?
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought the disk, watched it the same night. I absolutely love this. No, there is not a huge amount of "action" (read that as "shoot'em up" action), but the stories were very good, kept my interest big time, and a good character driven plot does not require gratuitous action to keep one's attention. Maybe in later stories, for those who thought it was missing? The graphics and disk quality were superb. Excellent shots of spacecraft, the station, etc. JMS? If you are reading this, we need stories about 'ol Kosh, and maybe tie in stuff to Crusade, more Galen, and how's Draal doing down there on Epsilon? I fervently hope these direct to DVD stories keep coming. I intend to do my part and buy them. (To apply a crossover semi-quote......"and Buddha....please send me a pony, and a toy rocket, and......") Xmas in July. Finally.
