FILM SYNOPSIS:

Return to Babylon 5 as the epic interstellar saga continues with The Road Home. Travel across the galaxy with John Sheridan as he unexpectedly finds himself transported through multiple timelines and alternate realities in a quest to find his way back home. Along the way he reunites with some familiar faces, while discovering cosmic new revelations about the history, purpose, and meaning of the Universe.

Our Review:

What can I say, Babylon 5: The Road Home is pretty darn cool. My husband has been a huge fan of the original Babylon 5 since its debut in 1994 and as a new couple, we would watch it together, so for that reason, it will always be a special series for us. In this animated movie, we get to see all of our series favorites again as John tries to find his way home.

The story is good, really good and the voice actors really brought their A-game, especially those newer actors who had big shoes to fill. They did a nice job and it was super respectful.

The storyline left an open door for even more stories, so I hope they decide to make another animated movie because I think this one will be received well.
