[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 4462, member: 1016"] I thought the movie overall was okay. Here are some comments in no particular order: The whole VR/Martial Arts gunnery system: I saw this more of an off shoot from the discovery that human telepaths were used as "weapon systems" for the Shadows. Perhaps a little stereotyping that humans were created as warriors for the Shadow war by both sides. On the other hand, The Shadows, the Hand, etc, etc. It seems to be getting a little old that there is always something older, bigger and badder coming for us in the B5 world. The banter between human captain and his Mimbari First Mate was great. It seemed in some way to fall across cultural lines though, but still good natured. Like two humans from different races who are friends enough, but still fall back on making jokes off their racial stereotypes to each other. Oh wait, they did make the size joke didn't they. Did they make a refence that the old ship had been the one to spot the bad guys? With the ghosts on board, it seemed likely, but then thier storyline is just dropped. Is that it? Scope wise, I expected something bigger than the "race for the hyperspace gate" plot. I had been expecting some sort of huge battle at the end. Only humans would write "BOOM" on duct tape and then booby trap the hatch when it opened. I thought the low-tech spin on their last trick was quite apt, why? How many times do you run over the same piece of trash with a vacum cleaner before picking it up. How many times do you flip a light switch before deciding it's broke? And how long will you look for something on the Internet before breaking down and checking out a dictionary or encyclopidea? We get set in our ways, especialy when it comes to using technology. And there are more times than we like to admit that our modern means of warfare got us into more trouble than out. I tend to think that Desert Storm was the first war where we used technology successfuly, and it was in a time of relative peace. ... so where was I going with all that? ... Uhh, oh yeah. I figured those high-tech hood wearing ring wraiths would fall for a low-tech trick. And I liked the holo display. [/QUOTE]
