The feature-length movie and test pilot for Babylon 5 – (1994 show).

This is the first item to view in the Babylon 5 viewing order. See Babylon 5 binge 01 notes.

  • Properly titled Babylon 5: The Gathering
  • This is technically “film 0”, as it is the feature-length pilot episode.
  • Movie Box, cd 1 – Babylon 5 – The Gathering – (1993 movie)

    • The first disk, which is labeled “1”. It is extremely important to get this right! Look at the number and title on the disk.
  • SPOILER ALERT – Although there is important information in the introduction to the station, I think it’s important to skip to 1:15.

A corporate drone goes mad and spirals into psychopathy, violently lashing out at society.

An absolutely mandatory film. As heavy-handed as its anti-corporatism is, it has fantastic subtleties requiring multiple viewings. There are very few movies which can achieve this level of watchability. This is absolutely an A-class dudebro movie.

A down-and-out traveler discovers a pair of sunglasses which let him see through the illusions aliens have been using to control mankind.

With overtones of the manipulation of the everyman, I would easily put this movie in the same class as Nineteen Eighty-Four. However, the otherwise weighty impact is cushioned by comedy, great characters and a great story. Though old, this movie stands the test of time. Easily considered satirical-horror, there’s much more to it.

This is, in a sense, a bubblegum movie that delivers a subtler message. It tickles the viewer’s cognitive dissonance. Some viewers will easily “get it”, and some will merely find it entertaining. I hope those between those two groups will be particularly intrigued.

Mandatory viewing.

summary TODO

Overall, the movie has a ludicrous plot.. the main motivation is pretty crappy. Everything else is nice, except for the idiot announcer guy.
