I really enjoyed the "Stargate" movie, However, I've seen a couple of episode of the long running TV series. I was curious to see if someone could dive into the middle of a third season and follow what was going on.

Stargate Atlantis is a spin-off series from the popular science fiction television series Stargate SG-1. "Atlantis" is set in the Pegasus Galaxy, a remote corner of the universe, where a new team of scientists and military personnel follow leads about the ancients and face a new terrible foe called the Wraith.

I was quite impressed with the special effects on the show. The city of Atlantis and the spaceships looked fantastic. They were some of the best effects I've seen on TV. The story was also fast paced and the action kept things moving. That being said, I don't think the point where I jumped on was the best place to join the storyline. I knew nothing about the characters nor cared about them when they were placed in jeopardy.

Fans of "Stargate Atlantis" should be very pleased with all the bonus features on this DVD set. There are a ton of featurettes focusing on the making of specific episodes. There are also commentaries and photo galleries. The final result is one of the better bonus feature offerings of a TV series DVD set.
