I can wait for the next seasons
December 7, 2006Both Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG-1 are awesome shows. I love them both and they both are really great shows. I love all the technicalities and computer generated backgrounds and so forth and the weapons and ships are really cool. They really make these shows seem real. They are really doing a great job making these events, characters, locations, weapons, and ships seem real. Every time I watch it, it's so intense and I feel like I was there myself. I love every episode. I can't wait for the next season. All the characters rocks. Anyone who have not or have not really been watching it, do watch these shows because it's really great and mind blowing. It's easy enough to follow. I hate Star Trek and Battlestar Gallactica but I really love this one. That's how great they are .Was this review helpful to you? Sign in to rate -

An amazing spinoff of the original
August 14, 2007I've been a Stargate SG-1 fan for some time now, and since there appears to be a severe shortage of intelligent shows on TV, I thought there wasn't anything decent to watch before Friday night.
I was wrong.
Stargate Atlantis is one of the best spin-offs I've ever seen. Its visuals and CGI are pretty incredible considering the TV budget, while the characters have a wonderful chemistry, which is one of the most important things for a show. Unlike some series (Star Trek: Enterprise comes to mind), these characters have genuine life and feeling behind their faces. Each has a unique personality that aids or abbets the others regularly.
The plot takes place in the Pegasus Galaxy, where the team discovers the lost city of Atlantis (yes, the one that was in that lousy Donovan song). Some aspects of this weird galaxy are similar (all human-like people speak English, you need ZPMs to power stuff) but the team discovers a new enemy: the Wraith. Think pale vampires that use their hands to suck your life out instead of biting at the neck and you get the idea. And so the newcomer humans spend their days fighting off the Wraith and going to other planets spreading peace and harmony (okay, not really).
I recommend being at least somewhat familiar with Stargate SG-1 before viewing Atlantis; however, Atlantis does a successful job of creating its own little universe/community, so the two do not necessarily have to go hand in hand.
A great show with excellent characters is hard to find, so I happily endose Stargate Atlantis. It's good, clean fun (PG, with a couple episodes in the area between PG and PG-13); as soon as the show starts up again, I know I'll be glued to the television on Friday night.Was this review helpful to you?

Good Carry Over
March 13, 2007I believe Atlantis came into existence at the right time. SG1 had done it's job at laying the ground work, for a different story line. Atlantis often is weaved into SG1 and vice versa, which in essence creates one big Stargate show. I would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys witty drama, interesting plot twists, and the realm of science fiction.Was this review helpful to you? Sign in to rate -
