[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 4527, member: 426"] Overall, I was pleased with the movie. I suspect that the Hand is actually ... the race that was seen in the B5 movie Thirdspace. (Banished to another dimension. Even the architecture looked alike. Ironically, Andreas Katsulas was not in that movie.) If this is the case, perhaps it was Lorien's people who fought them originally. The Vorlons, who are millions of years old, encountered them once -- and were nearly beat. Also, I suspect that the traitor on board the Liandra was not told the whole truth. The enemy may be trying to make itself seem more threatening than it actually is. (Do I expect someone bent on conquest to lie and spread fear? Yes.) I thought that Myriam Sirois was trying a little too hard, although I think the character has possibilities. The weapons control system was interesting. Mind you, I thought of a few funny alternate ways to control the system. However, a VR interface might be useful. (I would suggest a mind/machine interface that would have a faster reaction time than moving human limbs. Mind you, you could still have someone visualize the action that way. Or take another approach. A master chess player might see things VERY differently. Hopefully, Martha Stewart would NEVER be let near such a combat system.) Andreas Katsulas was good, as usual. There was a wonderful mix of humor and seriousness to his character. Overall, I have hopes for a series. It would likely be more action oriented than political. (However, they do have a diplomat/first contact expert on board.) [/QUOTE]
