Babylon 5 the television series has legion of devoted fans but this pilot television movie was rather disappointing and hammy.
We enter the limited world of the space station Babylon 5, a place where various alien races can interact and hopefully live in peace.
Set in the 23rd century and after a war between the Earth Alliance and the Mimbari Federation, a new arrival Ambassador Kosh is found poisoned and his death would lead to instability. A telepath scans the ambassador and the suspect is Commander Sinclair, the person in charge of Babylon 5 and he has to clear his name.
Being a Star Trek:DS9 fan, I found Babylon 5: The Gathering to be a pale imitation, a little bit too hammy. The special effects looks a bit cheap although the subsequent television series did bring in some improvements to the characters.
