This movie suffered from a lack of Christopher Franke's music, and the effects scenes were WAY too dark. You can barely see what's happening. On the plus side, it's always nice to see so many Omega class destroyers in action, though this would have been a great opportunity for them to use those gigaton mine launchers they carry in the bow section. :)

@@driftbandit4740jms said he wanted something more atonal along the lines of The Matrix and a new visual style. Both could have been pulled off except the budget per episode was less than B5 Season 5, and there's no way you're pulling off that kind of soundtrack with 1990's synths. I've heard some of Evan Chen's concert work and was impressive, but he had no experience and no budget to pull off something like this.

I mean realistically if the engines are powerful enough, you don't really have anything holding you back except building up momentum.

@JamesTobiasStewart Жыл бұрын

I suspect every ship was redlining its engines at that point. I mean yeah it'll be bad for the health of the engines, but in this circumstance, that really isn't going to matter if they get stuck inside the death cloud.

@@kyrozudesoya1829 Aye. Without drag, in space if you keep burning the engines, you just keep accelerating. Theoretically you could burn up to the speed of light. The only thing holding you back is the number of G's your putting on the space frame... But more importantly, the people inside the spaceframe.

It's a shame we never found out more about the new ships before they destroyed except for these two . The power drain on primary weapons could have solved in the series by using 3 power systems, when not in use all three charge, when in use , one fires , one charges and us on standby .simple

They should not have replaced C. Franke or at least find a composer with a compatible style. That music simply does not fit the show and lacks the heroic inspiration. IMHO the main theme from Crusade was the only working part of the new score.
