Babylon 5: The Lost Tales - Voices in the Dark (2007)

You won't be disappointed!

Overrated and overhyped

Absolutely Fantastic

A Disappointing Continuation

I would recommend everybody who really like B5 to buy this DVD and watch everything including all the supplementary materials which are real fun. This movie doesn't have fancy stuff inside like the Shadow War, but has a nice plot and interesting ideas, I really enjoyed it much more than the everything else that was made after the original B5(I mean the Crusade, legend of the rangers etc). There are two short stories none of the two have much action, the first one is very much in the style of the short stories in the old B5, like the those episodes that goes far from the main plot line of the series. This one is really good, I liked it. The second film I liked less, but it has more visual effects than the first one and is more like the Crusade, but unlike the Crusade it has some deep and complicated psychology inside, which to my opinion was really lacking in the Crusade. The only bad thing that it comes to an end very fast and then you start thinking of watching the whole B5 again :) Then DO watch the Extras, they are really good!!!! Enjoy!

It was nice too nice to see B5 again. I was expecting more aliens, and spaceships. More of the old B5 seasons. Maybe a bit more action, but the story was good anyway.No new spaceships but, the new effects are really great! And that I was really expecting. But I have to be honest that I wasn't expecting them to be so good. Really impressive work.Hope to see it on Portuguese TV anytime soon. Usually watching it on cable without subs makes me lose some parts of the story;)I really hope to see more shorts movies or who knows a new season. Congrats to all B5 crew!

Babylon 5 was an excellent series from start to finish. The Lost Tales continues that trend with morally and intellectually baffling story lines, even better special effects and exceptional acting. Woodward's performance of Galen is just as brilliantly mysterious and powerful as ever.The first episode, which is very much a stand-alone story as it does have nothing to do with the rest of the series from what I can tell, is a brilliant religion-themed story with some very good writing that gets underway very quickly and keeps the viewer gripped all the way through.The second story is, in my opinion, quite a bit better than the first, even considering how good that was. It gives us a little more insight into the character of Galen, as well as a nice mention of G'Kar and Franklin, in memory of the two late actors who played them (Katsulas and Biggs).The only shortcoming of these two stories is their lack of length; they did seem a bit crammed into 35 minutes and would have benefited from more time. I can't wait to see more additions to the series!

This really is a very good example of a dead horse being flogged. I am a big fan of Babylon 5, looking on it as an example of one of the best TV shows ever made, but this really is just an insult to its memory and one of the most blatant attempts to cash in on a franchise. First off, (spoiler alert, sort of) whilst its touching that they comment on the death of Andreus Katsulas, it ruins the continuity of the universe to have G Kar dead and Londo alive, being that they both supposedly kill each other. It seems odd to go for two episodes rather than a movie type format, but both episodes are sub par and predictable (the second story being worse than some of the worst episodes of series 1). However some of the acting, particularly from the Centauri Prince, saves this by the numbers story from utter failure. Tracey Scoggings, however, reprising her role as the eminently discardable Lochley is even more woeful in this than she was in series 5, but then I guess she isn't getting many offers for work nowadays. The first story is, again, saved to some extent by some fantastic acting from the possessed guy (look, I cant be bothered to look up his name!) but again it kind of contradicts B5 mythology, that of the Vorlons, actually being the human "god" I could go on, but really, I have already put more effort into this "review" than was put into that production. Avoid.
