---What is Stargate Atlantis?---
Put simply, SG Atlantis is a spin off of the incredibly successful Series Stargate SG-1, which is a spin-off of the movie Stargate (confused yet?)
The movie centres around the discovery of what they call the Stargate. The Stargate is a huge ring with nine pretty little pictures on it. It works like an old telephone in that you choose your numbers (the pretty pictures), hit dial and the ring spins and what ...
...it, I congratulate you!
Stargate SG-1 expands on the idea that life on earth was not started here. It was, in fact, brought here by an extremely advanced alien race. This race happened to be a tad on the evil side and used humans as slaves and carriers for their young (slithery snake type things) as was touched on in the movie. How do they bring it back without ruining the movies ending? Simple! They discover that there is more than one destination. ...

They mostly come out at night..... Mostly.
Advantages: Great story, and sooo atmospheric
Disadvantages: none, not even to this day.
...original. Personally I think that Aliens is in this category. Now, I agree this is an outlandish claim. Ridley Scott's original Alien, is potentially one of the most atmospheric, and terrifying films of all time. In its time, it was perfect. The effects were great, and the performances exceptional. I believe that if I had of been writing this review ten years ago, then Alien would win hands down, but in today's market the award must go to the original's ...
...that has come out recently, Aliens is as enjoyable to watch now, as it was on its general release in 1986. The film was directed by James Cameron, who as we all know is one for creating a spetacle. His direction to the film is in stark contrast to Scott's original. Where Scott went for raw science fiction, and horror, Cameron has created a rip-roaring action adventure. I think it is plain to see that Cameron was heavily influenced by the recent success ...

The Fifth Element review
Advantages: Good story, wacky costumes, gorgeous visuals
Disadvantages: None
The Fifth Element is a sci-fi fantasy action film written and directed by Luc Besson (who also directed Leon) and stars Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm and Milla Jovovich.
Set 300 years in the future, cab driver and former special forces soldier Korben Dallas (Willis) is going about his day when a woman comes crashing through the roof of his taxi and asks for help. He obliges, and loses the heat that were following her. He soon finds out that ...
...been sent here to save the universe.
Every 5000 years, when the planets are in alignment, a great evil appears, and will kill every living thing it comes across. So the fifth element, along with the other four elements (which are stones with lines carved into them) have to travel to a special site in Egypt which focuses their power and turns the fifth element into a very powerful weapon. If the evil gets there before them, light will turn to dark, ...

A.L.I.E.N. - AN OUTSTANDING MOVIE !
Advantages: IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS
Disadvantages: NOTHING
...they can about the weird alien ship. But what they find is the stuff of nightmares. With a superb cast of; Sigourney Weaver ... Ripley John Hurt ... Kane Ian Holm ... Ash (My Precious) Tom Skerritt ... Dallas Veronica Cartwright ... Lambert Harry Dean Stanton ... Brett Yaphet Kotto ... Parker Soon the horror will spread throughout their ship and people will start to die OR WORSE! With acid for blood and a built in drive simply to reproduce, ...
...The opening of the alien egg and the crawling thing that emerges is ghastly, when it decides to give Kane (John Hurt) a big kiss you know things are about to get ugly very quickly. The crew are simply out of their depth and simply cannot cope with what is about to happen to them. Only 'Jones' the ships cat knows what is happening and he soon makes tracks for the escape pod. The film was darkly shot but that was to its advantage because unlike more ...

The definitive Alien collection
Advantages: Original and director's cut edition, flawless transfer, every extra you could want
Disadvantages: None
Of all movie monsters, the Alien has to be my favourite and this box set is an esential for anyone who has seen and loved any or all of the four pure Alien movies (dsicounting the Alien/ Predator crossover genre).
Having been old enough to have seen the original Alien at the cinema I was pleased that the box set includes the original as well as the new updated and reditied versions of all four of the movies. There are also extras beyond belief and ...
...movies fear not. The redited Alien for example was lovingly crafted by original director Ridley Scott who correctly recognised that a modern cinema audience would find the original somewhat slow paced in places. He has also skillfully added back scenes removed from the original release which, on viewing, are essential to the plot and reveal new charater nuances and tensions that seemed strange and unexplained previously.
This set was expensive when ...
