Oh what a difference...
Way back in 1994, a TV show called "Babylon 5" took to the airwaves. The show was notable for (Among other things) being one of the first shows to use solely CGI, rather than physical, models. Right about when the show went off the air, Relic created a game called "Homeworld", naturally fans created a modification of the game to use B5 ships and stations...
The amazing thing about this movie is that the graphics are at least as good as they were on the TV show-- a game had an engine as powerful as the professional quality had been only a few short years before. Granted, the camerawork of the game isn't nearly as good as in the movie, but that's the difference between direction on the fly (as it were), and direction over the course of weeks...
