DVD Reviews of Stargate Atlantis S1
DVD Review: Stargate Atlantis is good entertainment...
Summary: 4 Stars
I started watching Stargate Atlantis when it began its syndicated reruns for Season One. I am a long time Star Trek fan and can't help but make some comparisons. Although one of the overall arcs of the series is darker than Star Trek (a pending invasion), the style of writing for each episode is light and seems to be more for a general audience relative to Star Trek. They seem to place emphasis on entertainment over social commentary; however, you may find a lot of the same story formulas (and titles) used in Star Trek revisited in Stargate Atlantis. It seems to be a very family-friendly series (few sexually explicit situations, if any, but nothing R-rated). Be aware that some of the 'vampire' aspects of the show may leave younger viewers with nightmares. All of the characters have good chemistry together and the dialogue tends to be very witty at times (esp. Dr. McKay and Maj Shepperd.)
There are many tongue-in-cheek references to Star Trek (TOS) in this series. E.g. Major Shepherd compared to Kirk as 'always falling in love with alien women', a Scottish doctor that always seems to end up sounding like Scotty.
The Stargate series is known for their longevity through the ability to keep costs down; however, the special effects are not compromised.
Like others, I started too late to get into SG-1, but watching Stargate Atlantis does not require too much knowledge of SG-1 to get started. It's a good fix for those of us who are waiting for Star Trek to come back to TV production.
