Stargate: Continuum

(more) »rank: 342

starring: Ben Browder, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Claudia Black


Our review: :Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 07/29/2008 Run time: 99 minutes Rating: Nr :If Continuum, the second feature length, made-for-DVD film spun off from the long-running Stargate SG-1 television series, marks the end of this wing of the franchise--and it is hardly a certainty, given the show's Lazarus-like history--then all involved, including the viewer, should be well satisfied. Continuum commingles all the elements that have made Stargate so eminently watchable over the years, including engaging characters and storyline, plenty of action, impressive sets, and first-rate special effects. This time the whole gang is on hand, as the most recent SG-1 contigent (Ben ...

Stargate - The Ark of Truth

starring: Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Michael Shanks, Claudia Black


Our review: :Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 09/23/2008 Run time: 97 minutes Rating: Nr :Fans disappointed by the demise of the Stargate SG-1 television series after ten fruitful seasons will delight in The Ark of Truth, the first full-length movie to follow in the show's wake. In fact, some will be more than pleased--they'll be relieved. For not only does the 102-minute film offer an opportunity to enjoy the same likable characters, reliable effects work, superior writing, and other elements that made the series so appealing, but after season upon season in which viewers were left wondering how everything turned out, The Ark ...

Stargate Atlantis - The Complete Third Season

starring: Joe Flanigan, Torri Higginson, Rachel Luttrell, Jason Momoa, Paul McGillion
directed: Andy Mikita, Brad Turner, Brenton Spencer, Martin Wood, Paul Ziller


Our review: :Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 01/13/2009 Run time: 1048 minutes Rating: Nr :With Stargate SG-1 now permanently off the data screen (except for a TV movie or two) after ten productive seasons, it appears that the fate of the universe is now the responsibility of the Stargate Atlantis crew. Based on the latter's third season, whose 20 episodes (plus a wealth of bonus features) are made available here on five discs, we're in good hands. Three years into it, Atlantis has retained numerous familiar elements while continuing to evolve steadily. The core cast is intact, with the cocky wiseacre-hero Lt. Col. ...

Stargate Atlantis - The Complete Second Season

starring: Joe Flanigan, Torri Higginson, Rachel Luttrell, Jason Momoa, Paul McGillion
directed: Andy Mikita, Brad Turner, Martin Wood, Neill Fearnley, Peter DeLuise


Our review: :If Stargate Atlantis isn't the coolest sci-fi series on television, this five-disc, 20-episode box set from the second season (2005-06) offers ample evidence that it's right up there. The writing is good; the stories are intriguing, and the science part of the equation is credible enough to justify our suspension of disbelief. The characters are for the most part well-defined, and the acting, while perhaps not Emmy-caliber, is just fine. The action is exciting, the effects work impressive, the costumes and sets first-rate. But what Atlantis really has going for it is the presence of some of the baddest bad guys ...

Eureka - Season Two

(more) »rank: 615

from: Universal Studios


Our review: :Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 07/15/2008 :Plenty of new television series need a season or two to sort themselves out, and as this three-disc, 13-episode (plus bonus features) box set from the second season (2007) reveals, the Sci-Fi Channel's Eureka is still a work in progress--which is not a bad thing, considering that it's one of the more provocative and ambitious shows out there. For the uninitiated, here's the basic premise: Sheriff Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson), accompanied by his teenage daughter Zoe (Jordan Hinson), is stationed in Eureka, a picturesque little burg somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Eureka ...

Heroes: Season 2

starring: Jack Coleman, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Masi Oka, James Kyson Lee, Milo Ventimiglia


Our review: :Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/26/2008 Rating: Nr :Don't believe the hype: though some critics and viewers decried the sophomore season of the hit fantasy series Heroes, the core of the program remained as strong as in its debut network run. To be sure, the 2007-2008 Writers Guild strike hobbled the show, and producers stumbled by stranding two of its most intriguing characters: Super-charged Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia) is taken out of the action after being struck with amnesia, while Hiro (Masi Oka) is sent to feudal Japan, where he encounters his own idol, Takezo Kenzei (David Anders). ...

Stargate Atlantis - The Complete First Season

starring: Joe Flanigan, Torri Higginson, Rachel Luttrell, Rainbow Francks, David Hewlett
directed: Andy Mikita, Brad Turner, David Warry-Smith, David Winning, Holly Dale


Our review: :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' ...

Our review: :Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 01/13/2009 Run time: 1036 minutes Rating: R :If this five-disc, 20-episode, tenth season set really is the end of Stargate SG-1--and considering the number of reprieves the show has already had and the rumors of various movie spin-offs, not to mention the fact that the final installment is entitled 'Unending,' who knows?--then the folks responsible for this durable sci-fi series can be proud that they finished it off in style, with a run of episodes that are for the most part highly entertaining, exciting, and fun, offering resolution if not complete closure. And if sharks were ...
