Babylon 5: The Gathering/In the Beginning 2001 Horror Movie Review

The long-running, Emmy-winning TV series launches onto DVD with two feature-length adventures about an outer-space weigh station. In the series pilot “The Gathering” (1993, 89 min.), an interstellar summit strives to negotiate a lasting truce, if an assassin’s agenda doesn’t have the opposite effect. Set primarily in the decade before the orbital station existed, the prequel “In the Beginning” (1998, 100 min.) depicts the tumultuous events of the Earth-Minbari War, which shaped interstellar events and paved the way for the construction of the universal safeport.
