DVD Reviews of Stargate Atlantis - The Complete First Season

DVD Review: Great Show, Not so GOOD DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

I purchased the 4 season set of Atlantis at Amazon, at an amazing price.

The DVD set
1. Disc 4 did not work on my Home Theater but it played OK in my DVR.
2. The menu is hard to understand and there are no scene selection.


The Series:
1 The series is GREAT.
2. It was a bit slow at the beginning, but it picks up by season's end.
3. The special effects are OK, and at times AWESOME.
4. The characters are fun, and a welcome change from the typical SNG, DS9 and Voyager types. I am a fan of those shows as well.
5. The main villain and secondary threat are very unique. The main at times we need more background, but I can see how they are flesh out more on season two. The introduction of the supporting villain is something to think about for the Atlantis crew. Not everything is fun in the Pegasus Galaxy and not everyone welcomes humans.
6. Actually I do not understand the language issue. Everyone in Pegasus speaks English or did they explained this on SG-1. I know that in the Star trek Universe the communicator works as a translator both ways. But here is never explained, so it does not sit well with this reviewer.


I strongly recommend the series. The four star rating becuase of the problem with the set.


DVD Review: chevron nine locked!
Summary: 4 Stars

as a stargate fan from the original movie to the sg-1 series and now Atlantis I highly recommend this series to any sci-fi lover out there.

DVD Review: New series...
Summary: 5 Stars

Season 1 provides Stargate loves with new exciting villians! I was still sad to watch Stargate Atlantis knowing that Stargate SG-1 would soon be over but it was really excellent to know that the spin off had awesome scene's and villians.

DVD Review: Great Follow up
Summary: 5 Stars

Being a fan of SG-1, this is a nice follow up. Caracters well developed, well written stories, super special effects. It's fun to watch.

Description of Stargate Atlantis - The Complete First Season

When a secret base abandoned by the original builders of the Stargates is found buried in the ice of Antarctica the newly formed Stargate Atlantis team is born. The team's discovery leads to a daring expeditiion to the distant Pegasus galaxy where they encounter a primitive human civilization and a sinister new enemy that threatens human life everywhere. The Stargate Atlantis mission is headed by Dr. Elizabeth Weir a specialist in diplomatic relations. Her political savvy is balanced by the bravado of her military counterpart Major John Sheppard a courageous pilot. Rounding out the crew are Lt. Aiden Ford Sheppard's second-in-command Dr. Rodney McKay a clever and quick-witted astrophysicist and Teyla a beautiful young leader among the primitive alien civilization that the Atlantis team encounters.System Requirements: Running Time 873 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating:?NR UPC:?027616121011 Manufacturer No:?12101
It's not a franchise on the order of Law & Order, CSI, or Star Trek--not yet, anyway--but with Stargate Atlantis, a more than worthy successor to SG-1, Stargate is becoming a nice little cottage industry in itself. The premise, in a nutshell: The Ancients, the greatest race the universe has ever known (or something like that), abandoned Earth millions of years ago, taking Atlantis with them; they then sunk the entire city in order to escape the clutches of the dreaded Wraith, an implacable bunch of villains who nourish themselves by sucking the life from humans. Now, as the two-hour "Rising" pilot details, a new team has gained access to the legendary city. Once they arrive, Atlantis loses the power to sustain its protective shield and rises to the surface, and thus begin the team's adventures (i.e., using the stargate to travel to other planets in the Pegasus galaxy, encountering aliens both hostile and friendly, and trying to defeat the Wraith, or at least stay out of their way).

Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), SG-1's driving force, is missed, but Atlantis has a strong replacement in Major John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), easily the most charismatic member of the new team. Like O'Neill, Sheppard is a wiseacre and a loose cannon, as well as a superb pilot with an innate understanding of the Ancients' arcane technology. His humor, humanity and conscience provide a welcome contrast to the other characters, especially brilliant-but-neurotic Dr. Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) and ultra-serious project leader Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson), who has little to do but give orders and stand up for her people. The Wraith, who resemble a vampire mutation of the albino blues guitarist Johnny Winter, are the focus of most of these 19 episodes (including the pilot). These bad boys will stop at nothing--nothing, I tell you!--in their quest to snack their way through every galaxy in the universe, with Earth their ultimate feeding ground. And while the final four episodes, dealing with the Wraith's massive attack on Atlantis, end with an unsatisfying cliffhanger (basically, nothing is resolved), earlier shows effectively keep their ominous presence in the forefront. The episodes in which the Wraith play little or no active role are often compelling as well, including "Thirty Eight Minutes" (one of our heroes' "puddle jumper" spacecraft gets stuck in the stargate), "Childhood's End" (we meet a race whose members are convinced that only ritual suicide is keeping the Wraith at bay), and "The Eye" (a planet-size hurricane/tsunami bears down on Atlantis). As is the case with SG-1, the visual effects work, especially by TV standards, is excellent; in fact, one might wish for bit more cool sci-fi action and less talk in some of the episodes. Special effects include commentary (by directors, writers, and/or actors) for every episode, as well as the occasional behind-the-scenes featurette. --Sam Graham
