I was looking forward to this for a long time, and fortunately, was not disappointed. It's very different from the series, as there isn't a complicated plot arc, nor is there an epic tale of good versus evil. There are 2 short, fast stories.
The first story, with Lochley, reminded me of old sci-fi short stories that I used to read when I was little. It was an interesting take on religion in the future and differed somewhat from the way I saw it in the series. While not what I expected, it was still fun and thought provoking.
The second story with Sheridan and Galen was more traditional B5, but felt a little rushed in how it developed. Still, it was entertaining and had the humor and edge that I loved from the series. It's still a heroic tale about the effect one man can have, but its not epic.
Throughout the movie, the visual effects were mindblowingly better than the original. The station was glorious, the battle scene gorgeous, and the new designs were true to the original flavor while still being different.
There are some flaws, but nothing really made me cringe (except for one piece of techno babble).
