STARGATE ATLANTIS {4th. Season} (DVD Review) - 9/5/08

Unfortunately this Season Four of "Stargate Atlantis" is a very sticky, gooey, sickly confection feeling very much like 'the same old, same old' kind of stuff. We lose a major character due to behind-the-scenes aggravation with the Producers, gain a new major character and get a few appearances from some old familiar friends & enemies. Apart from a number of bottle shows and a couple of good standalone episodes, a lot of this Season Four was excessive padding - At least we didn't get an awful clips show this series! A few episodes were that tiresome I just fast forwarded them because the writing was so awful! Ending on the usual cliche of a dire cliffhanger (Yawn!) this Season was extremely disappointing - Better luck on the Fifth Season hopefully?

This 5-disc Boxset has some pretty good Special Features spread out across the set. You get a Blooper Reel plus a large selection of Deleted Scenes. "Mission Directive" Featurettes and various Audio Commentaries plus Photo/Production Design Galleries. Also available is a handful of smaller Featurettes. Audio: 5.1. Dolby with English, French & Spanish Subtitles. Widescreen Anamorphic with Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1.
