Love, the Atlantian way

Advantages: Another brilliant season from Atlantis
Disadvantages: it has to end at some point

.... . . ---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. ...

Review of Equilibrium (DVD)

Serenity, highly under rated!

Advantages: Funny, action packed, fast paced
Disadvantages: Never to be seen again

...always littered with techno jargon. Serenity proves that it can be enjoyed by anyone. The relationships amongst the crew are acted out fantastically and you do feel for certain characters at times of tragedy. For those who love big explosions, this does not disappoint. The battle with the reavers is intense. I did feel however that the film tried to have too much in it in terms of wrapping up major storylines. It was all done excellently but it ...
...either another series or another movie in order to do the characters justice. For example, the character of Book. Throughout the show you get hints that there is more to him that meets the eye. With more air time, his story would have been more complete, but now you are just left wondering As for the extras, they are very funny. You feel a true sense of friendship amongst the cast which reflects so well on screen. It's just a shame it is only being ...

Stargate SG1 - Season 1

Advantages: Gripping, addictive, plenty too watch, perfect in most ways
Disadvantages: expensive and may take up most of your days for the next while

...a massive fan of the Stargate franchise since my older brother brought home the first season box set a couple of years ago and we sat down to watch it nearly every day. Ok, so first I’ll begin with an explanation of the Stargate SG1 universe. Here goes. Humans are a the next step in the evolutionary path of a race of aliens known as the ‘Ancients’. They were a massively advanced race both in technoligy and mentaly who existed millions of years ...
...a device known as the Stargate that is capable of near instantanious travel between two of the devices usually situated on different planets though sometimes appear in space. So when the Ancients ascended they left behind stargates on thousands of worlds. Next we have a parasitic race known as the goa’uld which are symbiotes that burrow into a host body and take control of it usually enhanncing its abilities. But these symbiotes are all egomaniacs ...

"Who am I?" The Matrix missing parts

Advantages: best possible content that goes along with Matrix, quality and variety of styles
Disadvantages: are there any ?

...hands on this project was the best possible thing it could happen with ideas of Matrix :) The movie consists of nine short stories, each telling a different story, but all are more or less related to scenes for the motion picture. Final Flight of the Osiris is a development from Square Co., creators of series of fantasy games as well as two computer graphic motion pictures, which this episode is itself. It made a great impression on me, back in ...
...you in the centre of the action. This one follows with two parts of The Second Renaissance and if you think that Matrix is thought provoking, you need to see these both parts, which fills in the missing parts from the motion picture of how system was created. Kid's Story explains where this young lad following Neo everywhere in Matrix: Revolutions came from. Program is another variation based in the world of cyber illusion and this story ...
