BEWARE! THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS AND PLOTLINE! THE STORY

---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. ...

X-Men 2 (DVD And Fantastic Four Jonny Storm Watch
Advantages: Better action than some with story line
Disadvantages: slow in parts
If you love the first X-MEN then X-MEN2 is a must have, with less story building than the first this film has a lot more action - packed fun for all to love.
There are a few slow parts in the film but overall its a must. the charachters realy start to evolve and if you were a fan of the cartoon then the end makes a lot more to you than if you just watch the film.
Although you are left felling that they could have done more.
E.g. Magneto (Lan Mckellen) ...
...four is again much like X-men 1 you have to wait for the best bits as the story building takes its time however its much more for the younger audience with its light humor and slightly cheesy punchlines however it is quit a good film for kids as it does not require you to concerntrate to long and if you miss bits of the film you can catch up with the plot later. A great xmas gift ...

X-Men
Advantages: A very good movie
Disadvantages: none
...idea of humans evolving into X-men is not, certainly, an unrealistic one, given the fact that we humans do have a long history of evolution. The movie starts by bringing us back to the Holocaust era, when Magneto first shows us a first hint of his powers, of his capacities to manipulate metals. It also gives us a fine insight of some of the series most important subjects, like Wolverine, Rogue, Storm, and Professor Xavier. This is only the first ...

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 ...
