A Call to Arms is a good movie. It is as much a continuation of the B5 story as it is a prequel to Crusade. But the feeling is not there. I think it's the soundtrack. It's off, it doesn't fit. Which tells you a lot about how important Chris Franke has been.
Additionally, the decision to solely rely on that weak soundtrack in very dramatic scenes, takes the air out of it at important parts.
The rest is as good as it can be. Again, many of the main cast are missing but this was supposed to be Boxleitner's farewell and a passing of the torch. In retrospect we know how that played out. But he did a great job and it was good to see him in action again. And off all the B5 movies, this is the one to watch.
