Leave your thoughts about Babylon 5: In the Beginning.
| User ReviewJeffrey MI thank the lord for "Babylon 5", a great science fiction TV series. This is one of the great "Babylon 5" TV movies. The story reveals a lot about the creation of the Babylon stations and more history on the characters, too. a great story. |
| User ReviewCraig SThe best of the B5 movies in my books. A nice mix of action, adventure, Drama and an epic story to go along with it. I would say you should wait until you finish watching all five seasons of the orginal B5 seasons before watching this. JMS should note this is what fans want to see! |
| User ReviewJohn-Paul PThis is a superb movie which shows the events of the Earth-Minbari War in which John Shreridan earned the Minbari name of 'Star Killer' and the explanation of the missing 24 hours of Cmdr Sinclair on the battle of the line where the human race faced total extinction and why the Minbari surrendered on the eve of their victory! |
| User ReviewErin CThis is without doubt the best Babylon 5 film. It's great to see the Minbari war in action and finally seeing how Sheridan destroyed the Black Star. This is one of those films where you just hang on to every word the characters say with baited breath to see what comes next. A great addition to the Babylon 5 universe! |
| User ReviewDavid MQ: How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: We don't know - they always surrender before they finish the job, and they never tell you why." Poenget i den vitsen finnes i denna filmen. |
| User ReviewSammi SThe best of all the Babylon 5 movies... it's perfect in every way--riveting, poignant, and a great future-setting "prequel" to Babylon 5 that's well-told by one of my favorite tragic Babylon 5 characters himself. |
| User ReviewIdo Ggreat movie!!! a great addition to the tv series. the best of all the babylon 5 movies ever made |
| User ReviewBrian CFrom an intelligent, witty and exciting Sci-fi. Best to watch if youve seen series 1 & 2 first. My favourite of the B5 films. |
| User ReviewJêan NThe best sci-fi series ever made for television! The writing is superb, the philosophical undertones and pathos spine tingling, the incremental build-up per episode for the developing overall five year "biger picture" story, MIND BLOWING! |
| User ReviewRob RThe President's speech near the end still brings me to tears every time. |
