Summary: Andromeda
Review: This is a great show. It goes along with the star trek type of genre, but is different. Instead of a world of order it is chaos. A sole ship with a crew of six are trying to pull a universe together against greater foes. It has spectacular special effects and great fight scenes. This is a DVD to buy.

Summary: first season of a well written series
Review: This is the first season of a really well written series currently about to enter its third year. There is speculation from fans that the wonderful setup of themes in the first and second seasons may be wasted in the third season. While it is based on a Gene Roddenberry concept, it resembles little of that original idea or even his Trek franchise. That makes it very refreshing. Captain Dylan Hunt and his sentient ship survive three hundred years trapped in the event horizon of a black hole. Without a crew, Dylan recruits the members of the salvage ship and a mercenary who attempted to take the ship as their own. Dylan and his new crew set about getting to trust each other and rebuild the Systems Commonwealth that has fallen during his absence. Since the fall of the Commonwealth, disorder has replaced the unity that once spanned six galaxies. Few advancements have been made since the fall which makes the Andromeda the most powerful starship around.Dylan's new crew includes a bunch of brilliant but aimless humans and engaging aliens. Dylan and his crew face off with foes such as Gerentex the Nightsider, the Nietzschean Drago-Kazov Pride, the red-eyed Spirit of the Abyss, and untrustworthy allies like Elsbett Mossadim. These as well as more characters and story arcs are introduced and explored in the second season which promises to put Andromeda in the same class with the Babylon 5 series. While the show's limited budget is reflected in the lack of imagination and limited quantity of the costumes and the inconsistent lighting of Trance?s makeup, the space and battle special effects are great and so is the opening music theme.

Summary: Crystal clear DVD combined with great story.....
Review: This is the story of Dylan Hunt, captain of the starship Andromeda. Lost in time for 300 years, Captain Hunt leads a rag tag crew in an attempt to restore the Commonwealth of Planets and return peace the galaxy. This is a great series! This 2 dvd set contains the first five episodes. This is a strong dvd production. The five episodes are presented in anamorphic widescreen. That's an interesting but nice change since the show usually airs in full screen. The prints are crystal clear with no signs of deterioration or flecking on the original film. In fact, these dvd presentations are significantly better than the picture I get on my digital cable. The picture does occasionally suffer from excess brightness. However, this may be a symptom of the fact that the film is intended for television and was lit differently than a film that is intended to be featured in the theater. The soundtrack is rich and full with complete use of the stereo track. I think the soundtrack mix is actually superior to many cinematic dvd releases. Unlike many movies that are released on dvd, the dialogue is always clear and isn't overpowered by the sound effects and score. The extras on this two disc set are excellent as well. There is a commentary with the director and Kevin Sorbo. A short documentary is present with numerous production sketches, outtakes, and tv previews. The extras really exceeded what I expected from the release of a syndicated tv show. I'm not going to summarize the individual episodes. The only thing that keeps this from five stars had nothing to do with the dvd quality. Some of these early shows just contain too much plot for the one hour time slot. The characters are really asked to develop a relationship fairly quickly and that sometimes feels compressed in these early episodes. As a general fan of the show, I can say that you don't get this feel in later episodes when the characters are more established. Anyway, this is great dvd set. A must for any fan of Andromeda. Very clear and sharp picture. I watched all five episodes the first night I had the dvd. GREAT!

Summary: GREAT GREAT GREAT!!
Review: This was a fantastic DVD i loved it. I wish it had a little more about the rest of the crew in the extra's as it was mostly Kevin Sorbo but I have a feeling there will be more of them on future DVD's. I have already pre ordered the next one! The wide screen is fantastic i felt like i was watching a movie not just a TV show.

Summary: Great DVD set for a good show.
Review: When Andromeda started I was really sceptical.
I didn't like Kevin Sorbo much, the SFX weren't that great and some of scripts were pretty weak.
But I kept watching and during the first season I started to like the show for one big reason: likable characters.
While I'm still not a big fan of Mr. Sorbo, the other other actors are really great and the writing has (apart from a few episodes at the end of season two) improved.
And of course there's Lexa Doig to look at - which is a really big plus. :-)
While it's still far away from the consistent genius that Farscape shows each week, Andromeda is one of the better TV shows at the moment and this DVD set is really great: picture and sound are good, the commentary is very interesting and the other extras are great too - except for the bloopers. I hope that on the next sets we get some bloopers that feature some of the other actors and not only Kevin Sorbo.

Review: Yeah, chances are if you are looking for this DVD set you are already hooked on the Andromeda series. Welcome to the club. You already know what the other reviewers are saying. This two DVD set has the first five episodes of Andromeda: Under the Night, An Affirming Flame, To Loose the Fateful Lightning, D Minus Zero, and Double Helix. Also included are extras like character profiles, bloopers, behind the scenes, TV teasers, and more. And for those who haven't seen Andromeda, it is faster and funnier than the politically correct and sanitized Star Trek (TNG), more realistic, and more believable. Sure, there is some cheese thrown in for good measure, but it makes it even more fun. Highly recommended, but then again, you probably already knew that.
