Lost Tales, maybe should have remained lost.
Let me start with: I have the entire collection of B5 movies and I am a huge SciFi fan, I even love the cheesey SciFis. That being said, I was very disappointed in the Lost Tales and understand why the Creator (Michael Straczynski) didn't make anymore movies after this one, he must have been disappointed by the final product. For those of you familiar with the story line, it really discredits Lennier's discipline and dedication. The movie was clearly direct to video only. The interface for the video start up is a bit lame also as it gives you four options (the entire movie, the 1st 1/2, the 2nd 1/2 and the extras). The movie feels like two separate episodes, that stand alone yet tie together (like a series should) but scrunched together as one move for mo other reason to call it a movie. For those of you familiar with the Babylon 5 mini-series, this is nothing more than an extension of season 5 and has the same disconnected feeling of the final season. If you are a big B5 fan and have seen the rest of the movies and series, then yes, you should get the movie for no other reason that to continue with the story line (even if it discredits Lennier). If this is you first or early voyage into SciFi (especially B5), then forget this movie as it will only discourage you and leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. If this is a gift for a SciFi fan, then find out if they fit into one of the two above categories. I hope this review helps you make your decision.Read full review

Babylon 5 scraping the bottom
I just watched the ENTIRE series of B5... and of course wanted more. It has been my experience in life, that prequills or sequals just do not do the original story justice. I have to say that watching these two stories, that they had little time, not a hugh budget.. and wanted one last hurrah.. If you need an new B5 fix.. you will not be satisfied with this.. actually I enjoyed the bonus material more than the first story.. Some of the visual effects shots were very nice.. like New York being fried or the Devil's cell... but alas visual effects a movie ( or DVD ) do not make. Actors, reguardless of how good their individual preformances cannot carry the entire thing.. it's a blending between all the preformances wether in front or behind the camera..SO.. this get's one big Ehhhhh... and a shrug.Read full review

A Parting Gift
A great "last gasp" of the best TV series ever to air. Just when I thought there were no more B5 shows, original B5 creator Straczynski gave us "The Lost Tales". It is 8 years later and few of the original actors are available. Bruce Boxleitner and Tracy Scoggins are great. They really did a good job reprising their old roles. For me, Peter Woodward as Galen was a bit of a new-comer, but he was good. Sure, it's a bit disappointing to lose most of the regular characters from the original series. I particularly miss Claudia Christian (Susan Ivanova) , Peter Jurasik (Londo), Andres Katsulas (G'Kar) and Mira Furlan (Delenn). But what remains is still wonderful.

Why did they make this?
Let me start by saying that I'd still like to see more high quality "real" Babylon 5 material (movie length, mini-series or the like, actually broadcast) In a way it's too bad that Babylon 5 had a five year story arc. Even though I had trouble finding the "ranger" series [and then following the plot], I would certainly have watched more. For example, there was the continuing saga of Londo and the Cetauri. Even though there was a flash-forward to a dismal end for him, I longed for an eventual redemption (and defeat of the "evil" parasite that controlled him along with any of its brethren; who were they anyway?). There's a lot of talk in this DVD, and only a few actual sets (i.e. low budget). Even with the high quality of the music and graphics, there's very little "there" there in this effort. There are basically just two items on the Food for Thought menu, talked to death in the first "tale" and a bit simplistic in the second (though I share the hopeful choice Sheridan makes in the end) Also on the positive side, there are a few intriguing shots of the concave landing bay on the inside of B5. Which leaves me back where I started: why did they produce this item? Was this a type of pilot being shopped around to the industry? The second tale certainly connects to the future of the Centauri Republic, so I can imagine it being the germ of an idea in that direction. I searched through the extras for some insight as to "Why did they make this?", but found nothing. Perhaps Babylon 5 was some kind of zenith for "old style" / "intelligent" sci-fi. With the demise of Star Trek: Enterprise and Stargate (the real series) it seems we've come to the end of an era, with the overwrought angst of the second coming of Battlesta Galactica and a couple of short-lived series being the style of the current generation. Bottom line: I'm glad I bought this, but I'll probably watch it as most one more time.Read full review

Babylon 5, The Lost Tales
As a Babylon 5 fan, I have missed the series and I have been trying to keep up with anything new. This new feature was a surprize to me with it's release. I had not heard about any new releases. As a DVD release with a small budget, I thought that overall story lines were very good and well produced. The action and personal interplay of the different characters were not played to the full extend as I was use to in the series. The bonus features were very good with the tributes to two of the essential characters from the series of Dr. Franklin (Richard Biggs) and G'kar (Andreas Katsulas), they will be missed. Overall, as a refreshing reminder of a great series such as Babylon 5, a very good DVD for true fans.
