Rating: Summary: GREAT SCI-FI.... Review: This box set contains all the episodes from series one, the best series to date. The pilot on disc one is the best episode in my opinion. There are a lot of Goa'ulds in these episodes including Apophis, Amaunet, Hathor & Unas. So if your a fan BUY IT !!!.
Rating: Summary: Best Ever Show Review: Stargate is the best show on TV, and it is even better on DVD....
Rating: Summary: Stargate SG1... One of the Greatest Sci-Fi Shows of all time Review: I just have to say that Stargate is one of the best sci-fi shows of all time. The original movie was excellent and they just expanded on the premise so perfectly...
Rating: Summary: A Perfect gift for any sci-fi fan Review: The SG-1 series is terrific! I bought the box set for my husband, and am now hooked myself. Plot and character development are well done, as are special effects. At times it is funny, serious, though-provoking, suspensful....all around entertaining. I can't wait for season 2 to be released!
Rating: Summary: Far better than the film Review: I bought the Stargate season 1 boxed set on a whim. It seemed a bargain for a season of television. It took me just over a week to blow through the entirety of season one. Stargate has easily become one of my all time favorite television shows. The writers do an excellent job of developing the characters, and keeping an ever growing continuity from tripping over itself. My only complaint is that three of the discs have 5 episodes on them which degrades the video quality somewhat. Had the episodes been spread out more effectively with 4 episodes per DVD, the quality would have improved. That said, the small lapse in quality is a miniscule price to pay for such an excellent serial drama. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Rating: Summary: Want More Review: How soon will you be accepting pre-orders for the second season?We took this set on vacation with us and both adults and children loved it.
Rating: Summary: DVDs are fun! Review: Even though I have all the Stargate episodes on tape, having the DVDs is a lot of fun. Not only is the quality better, but you can do fun things like zoom in on Daniel's diary in "Fire and Water" and go frame by frame through your favorite scenes. My one objection to the way the DVDs are handled is that there is no regular ratio format. It's all letter boxed (16:9). If I set my DVD player to t.v. aspect (3:4) I end up with 'squishy vision' as everything gets crammed in from the sides to fill the space. And as a collector of media, I have to say, the five CD box set takes up a heck of a lot less room than 11 video tapes. As for Stargate itself... most of it's been said in earlier reviews. Witty writing, sharp acting, well developed plots... And well... Michael Shanks. Nuff said. <g>
Rating: Summary: One of the best SF series on television Review: Very little to complain about in this set. I did find that the sound is a little odd in some settings,in one episode (#11 Fire and Water)the DVD pauses briefly ( maybe just a glitch in my copy), and I have noticed the mentioned occaisional grainy look others have reported. Yes it is shot in British Columbia (and every world SG-1 travels to looks like it),everyone seems to speak english (too impractical to come up with a new language each week), and only three human civilizations in the first three seasons are more advanced than Earth (all the others just sat still it seems). Even with this I've found the series to be one of the most creative and well thought out on television. I wish the following seasons would come out soon.
Rating: Summary: One of the best sci-fi series ever! The perfect collection! Review: Without a doubt, this is one of the best sci-fi series ever made. I was surprised when I found it on DVD and even more suprised with the quality of the DVD. I had only ever seen this series in syndication, with all the commercials. Having them on DVD without commercials is great! My only complaint, and its so minor that it doesn't take away from the 5-star rating, is that I wish the audio was in something a little better than 2 speaker stereo. The show is a little too old for Dolby 5.1 but I think 3.2 would have sounded great. Perhaps the newer seasons will be in something better. I only hope they will be released on DVD too.
Rating: Summary: Ok Review: All in all very good. Have seen them all before and watching them the second ot third time round seems to loose it's appeal. Still is a great box set at a good price. Could someone not produce the box set on other regions except region 1?
