After wathing this, i must say - yes, it good.
Yes, there was interesting episodes. Most of characters are honored, and seems nicely done.
But.
There are 3 point, that i must say against it.
1. Shadow-zergs. That feels wrong, out of place.
It isnt starship troopers, or starcraft!
Maybe art director, or JMS feel, that was right - for me picturing shadows as stupid clendakhu bugs was a mistake.
They cannot be that. Not in this universe.
It will be better if instead of shadows we see here drakhs, or other servants, or even some bionic constructs as ground soldiers. Not this.
2. Shadow ships in this movie was a mess.
Nothing compared with original b5. And i dont understand why. Other ships are simillar enough, but shadows... They seems so downgraded, so "metalic and stable". Hell, there are even big central weapon there, something like middleaged mortyrs! How? Why? For what? I dont know. But looks stupid.
3. Sheridan itself. Let me be clear... In original b5 its character... Well, it was sometimes awkward, and seems a bit strange. For other characters, because we, audience, know every time reasons for this. Technomages, some Elder stuff, vorlons, inter-dimension critters... But only here his feels not weird, but really really stupid. And act like child.
He panicked. He whining. He say dump stuff. And i not talking about scene with socks from beginning. No, this was trivial, weird, but normal for this character. But later... Well... I think, for all three problem with it movie there is one answer. And worrying.
For me seems, all this alterations for Sheridan or shadows was done in name of rebooting. Where we will see a bit other story, and i feel, there will be young and dump Sheridan and more "mindless-evil" shadows.
