Babylon 5: The (TV) Movies
[quote]Warner Bros Home Video will continue the popular Babylon 5 DVD releases with "Babylon 5: The Movies," news we brought you back in November, 2003.
This 5 disc set will contain all 5 movies as well as special features. The set will carry a $59.98 SRP and will be available in stores and online August 17th.
"The Gathering" will be presented in 4:3 (original aspect ratio) while the other movies will be 16:9 anamorphic widescreen; all movies will feature Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks. The sets will be closed captioned and be subtitled in English, Spanish and French.
Each movie will contain commentary from the creator (J. Michael Straczynski), cast and crew, as well as an introduction for each movie by JMS. Rounding out the special features is the featurette, "Creating the Future - How Science Fiction and the show influenced each other."
The Gathering (1993): Alien envoys come to the giant space station in the pilot that launched the five-year TV series.
In the Beginning (1998): The B5 prequel! It's humans vs. aliens in the battle that led to the station's creation.
Thirdspace (1998): Is there a realm beyond hyperspace? Discovery of a million-years-old gateway technology may hold the answer...and more.
River of Souls (1998): After death, then what? Questions of eternity arise when a supposedly infallible harvester of souls proves to be very fallible.
A Call to Arms (1999): The torch is passed. A race against time to save Earth links the B5 mission with the Rangers' new interstellar efforts.[/quote]

Hm. It fits in the the "warm color, cool color, warm color...." pattern, so that's good. It does look a bit much like one of the season box sets. I had hoped that it would have each movie in a separate case, but such is life.
August?! Dammit. Well, then I'll have seen all the movies, at least. But it implies the DVDs of Crusade won't be released until January of next year.
[B]I would have put A Call to Arms with the crusade movies[/B][/QUOTE]
The Crusade movies?
A Call to Arms is a Babylon 5 movie, so I think it fits fine with this set. Much better than LotR would.
[B]JMS said some time ago that Legends of the Rangers would have its own, stand alone release. [/B][/QUOTE]
I think i'll pass on that one.
[B]The Crusade movies?
A Call to Arms is a Babylon 5 movie, so I think it fits fine with this set. Much better than LotR would. [/B][/QUOTE]
Sorry, I meant Crusade Eps. I know A Call to Arms is a B5 movie, but it was also the pilot or lead in to Crusade, since thats when the plague was released. Thats why I thought it should Go with the Crusade Stuff, abd LotR didn't have anything else to go with.
Edit: or just put them both in the movies pack. Oh well, as long as LotR is coming out i shouldn't really complain to much should I
?
[B]That's probably WHV-Europe throwing out a cheap box now to capitalize on the US release... [/B][/QUOTE]
Yeah I was a little miffed by it's announcement. Hopefully Europe will get the 5 disc full movie boxset as well :D
I'm picking that up as soon as it hits the shelves.
Good ole eBay :D
[B]While in R2, waiting for it to hit the shelves is .... not worth the wait, considering the poor quality of R2 releases from WB.
Good ole eBay :D [/B][/QUOTE]
Well, you could always send me the money and I'll buy a copy here for ya. ;) Shipping it to the UK shouldn't be that expensive since it only costs $11 to ship to NZ.....
