SG ATLANTIS S 1. IS A SPLASH! SEA THE HIT ! SERIES.

I am an avid Stargate SG-1 fan, and was worried that the spin off Stargate Atlantis would be much too similar to the SG-1. My fears were quickly lost as I began to watch the series on these DVDs. Atlantis successfully branches out and becomes its own show quickly into the season. The new angle brings much more mythology and explanation into the Stargate universe that is a breathe of fresh air. Atlantis introduces a deadly new enemy in the Wraith that makes the Gou'ald pale in comparison. Each episode has its special moments, mostly coming from that of Rodney McKay the egotistical super genius. This series begins strongly in its first season, and requires little knowledge of the SG-1 franchise to begin viewing. The series is now soon to begin its fourth season, so catch up and view the incredible first season.

Although I am a major fan of SG-1, the first Stargate TV show, I honestly was not sure I would like Atlantis. As you can tell by looking at the rating I gave it, I love it and can honestly say that I would recommend to anyone, especially fans of SG-1. Now, we get to the reason that I gave season 1 only 4 out of 5 possible stars. At this point, you now know that I am an insane fanatic who is obsessed with this show, but liking the show and liking its DVD releases are different things entirely. The content on this release is great and does not let down those who have bought previous Stargate box sets; however, I do have two major complaints. - 1) The menus take several seconds to play through, and obviously, you can't skip over them. ...and... - 2) There is ABSOLUTELY NO SCENE SELECTION for any of the episodes, NOT EVEN THE PILOT! Okay, now I've sang the glories of the show and screamed at the flaws of its life on disc, so I'll wrap by saying the following (this speech will not be as long as you think). "Although there are no bloopers or deleted scenes and the scene seleciton is missing, this is still a great buy for any sci-fi/fantasy/adventure fan."

Being a huge fan of the Stargate SG-1 series, I was exxcited to see the spin off, Atlantis, released and then come to DVD. if you are looking at this it probably means you are a fan of the show to begin with. This makes an excellent addition to the collection of any Stargate fan. Loaded with soecial features, and director's cometary this will give you plenty to do when watching one of the best shows on television over again.

This is a great show and I hope it goes on like SG-1. It is a fresh out look of the stargate universe. The lack of the scene selection has me feeling a little VCR like. You cannot skip at any point or it skips the whole show. I hope they have fixed the problem in the newer seasons box sets. Though I will still buy anyway. I am a huge fan of stargate. I have all of SG-1 and now it is time for Atlantis.

I like this show, not as much as SG-1 but its still really good. This seasons special features include: Commentary on selected episodes, Mission Directive featurette, Photo galleries, Set Tour, and more. I would recomend this to any one who like SG-1.

Stargate Atlantis is one of the best SciFi TV show ever made,if not the very best. Great show it will get you hook where you don't want to stop watching it.

i love this show ive watched since the begining and i can watch it over and over and it doesn't get old

Very good sci-fi series that picks up where Stargate: SG1 leaves off, but in another galaxy.
