The main cast of the film:
Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski has written the screenplay for the animated film, which he announced in April as “wonderful news.” Why the sci-fi series has such a good reputation
Babylon 5 is one of the more influential science fiction series of the last few decades. When the story of the space center first aired in 1993, most series were mostly told episodically. J. Michael Straczynski, on the other hand, conceived the story as a kind of novel, in which each season should represent a chapter. Babylon 5 seemed innovative compared to the Star Trek series of the time, which followed more traditional narrative patterns. Series like Lost and Battlestar Galactica were lauded for doing a similar thing years later.
With aliens, spaceships and people, Straczynski and his team told complex stories about political entanglements, tragedies and sci-fi motifs that are also relevant for our present. So the 5-season series is still worth watching, even if the effects aren’t always convincing.
