It’s apparently not really a remaster. I can’t remember how it differs, but I read something a few months ago that made me think it would be better just to stick with watching the originals.

The article explains what was done.
The film was mastered to 4K and then downsampled to HD. The original masters were also cleaned up digitally, with color correction and removal of dirt and scratches. The CGI sequences were upscaled to HD and tweaked when necessary.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
Basically, this looks like the best we can expect to get, and just restoring #Babylon5 to its original 4:3 aspect takes care of a lot of the problems with the CGI and other issues. It really does look surprisingly good given how old the masters are and how the CGI was SD, not HD.
