There are a few people who don't like this film because they thought it was too drawn out. I might agree if this was a two-part episode, or a feature film; but as a tv-movie, it rocks. JMS's writing is poetic as always, and the effects look better than they do in some episodes of the series. I can't name another tv-movie I enjoy more (except for maybe In The Beginning) and I challenge anyone to name a better scifi movie that premiered on The Scifi chanel that's better.
