Wonderful character development!

Sadly Over-hyped

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

When this show originally aired I remember watching a couple of seasons, then let it slip off my watch schedule. Up to a few months ago I couldn't remember why. Thanks to Comet TV, who just rebroadcast the series. I forced myself to sit through the entire 5 seasons and can now answer that question with one name, Rodney McKay.During the first couple of seasons he was treated as more of a secondary character. His caustic personality and incessant whining was tolerable when taken in small doses. As the show progressed though, his part expanded into a major cast member. By the time season 4 rolled around it seemed like almost every episode centered on him (so much so I'm surprised they didn't rename the show "The Rodney McKay Hour") killing most desires I had to watch it. It's a shame, too. The rest of the cast, and most of the story lines, were pretty interesting. I just could have done without the "fingers on a chalkboard" feeling the McKay character brought to the mix.

I've never seen such a great show with such a great cast! Stargate Atlantis made Stargate SG1 look like ancient history. I have no idea how this ended after only five seasons, but it should have absolutely been carried on a few years longer. It had all the Sci-Fi you could imagine without being "weird" and a cast that had the best dynamic I've ever seen. I've watched every Star Trek series through a couple times, but nothing comes close to how great this show was! I hope to god one day they start this show up again. Not sure how many other shows on IMDb have an eight point rating, but that should be a major hint to all the big Hollywood execs about what people want to watch.

This is one of my favourite sci-fi series ever. There's so much here to recommend and, although since it's a spin-off of Stargate SG-1, requiring you to be at least somewhat familiar with that series' first seven seasons, it is still a great show in its own right.I think that a great part of its success is owned to the series' unrelenting spirit of adventure, in terms of tone the show's pilot is very similar to the first Star Wars movie, the music by the late Joel Goldsmith was robbed for an Emmie Award in my opinion, for its sheer uplifting nature that contributes much to the tone of the series.The premise is that after the events of the seventh season of SG-1, Earth discovers that the mythical city of Atlantis is actually a city-sized starship build millions of years ago by a race of beings called The Ancients who are indirectly responsible for the creation of the human race, as well as its location in the distant Pegasus galaxy. Stargate Command, utilising what little power remains in an Ancient power source, supercharges the Stargate on Earth enough to establish a wormhole to Atlantis and send an expedition team on a (potentially) one-way trip to the city. Once they arrive they discover that 10,000 years ago the Ancients were brought to the brink of extinction by a malevolent race called the Wraith which now rules over the Pegasus galaxy's human-like inhabitants the same way a farmer rules over a cattle (that's not a figure of speech, the Wraith eat humans). The Atlantis expedition now must use the hyper-advanced technology of Atlantis to fight the Wraith and find a way to re-establish contact with Earth.The series genre is Acton-Adventure with a little bit of comedy and drama tossed in, the action scenes and production values (in particular the CGI effects) put some sci-fi blockbuster films to shame, the acting and the writing are great across the board with the occasional bad or mediocre episode (just stay away from the episodes "Irresistible", "Irresponsible" and "Harmony" not only are they filler episodes but they are also unbelievably stupid) and the whole thing has an unbelievably uplifting tone.This is the best of the franchise and I recommend this series to any sci-fi and action buffs out there, this tightly written, beautifully directed, superbly acted and scored and you won't be disappointed if you're looking for adventures.
