Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
With Stargate SG-1 now permanently off the data screen (except for a TV movie or two) after ten productive seasons, it appears that the fate of the universe is now the responsibility of the Stargate Atlantis crew. Based on the latter's third season, whose 20 episodes (plus a wealth of bonus features) are made available here on five discs, we're in good hands.
Three years into it, Atlantis has retained numerous familiar elements while continuing to evolve steadily. The core cast is intact, with the cocky wiseacre-hero Lt. Col. John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) and the egotistical, neurotic genius Dr. Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) still the most entertaining of the bunch; as the series explores the characters' personal lives and backstories, we even meet (in 'McKay and Mrs. Miller') the latter's sister, who's every bit the wiz that he is. On the other hand, the roles of team leader Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson) and members Teyla (Rachel Luttrell) and Ronon Dex (Jason Momoa) are neither especially well-written nor well-played. The return of Richard Dean Anderson (and his sense of humor) as General Jack O'Neill, the SG-1 mainstay during most of its run, for a few cameos is most welcome, as is the presence of the Wraith, the series' principal villains (SG-1 fans will also recognize the 'sentient machines' known as the Replicators from that series). With their flowing white locks, cat-like eyes, pale, almost translucent skin, ultra-fine black leather dusters, and, in one case, shades that would make a Hollywood hipster envious, the Wraith remain the coolest bad guys on the sci-fi scene. We already knew that they feed on humans, but this season brings some startling new revelations, particularly in 'Common Ground,' an excellent episode that finds Sheppard and a Wraith (Christopher Heyerdahl) forming an unlikely alliance against a mutual enemy; we also witness the return of the Wraith known as Michael (Connor Trinneer), who was the subject of the Atlantis team's ongoing 'retro-virus' experiment (designed to make Wraiths human) in Season Two and plays a significant recurring role in Season Three. Other developments are apparent as well, but most dramatic of all is the death of one of the team's key members.
Stargate Atlantis isn't the most original TV show ever created; in fact, elements of The Running Man, Alien, The Abyss, Enemy Mine, and other sci-fi works are sometimes so obvious that the characters themselves mention them in dialogue. But as always, the action sequences, special effects, models, and other technical elements are first-rate, as are the bonus features, which include episode commentaries, featurettes, and photo galleries. --Sam Graham

Rating:  - Love it!
Love it! I think that Stargate keeps getting better. Although at times it reminds me of SG-1, overall the stories are fresh and fun. There were some very unique episodes on this set. 2 thumbs up!
Rating:  - StarGate Atlantis, season 3
Had some trouble accessing some of the episodes, but very enjoyable.
(Might be my old DVD player).

Rating: - Excellent
Love this series. The acting, writing/stories, cast -- it really is fun to watch and keeps your interest. I enjoy it like I enjoyed the SG-1 series.
Rating:  - Excellent - for the most part
Absolutely wonderful! The series progresses so well! The only disappointment is the fact that the special features are really nothing special.
Rating: - Didn't think I'd like it...
I've always been a big SG-1 fan, and never wanted to give Atlantis a try. Once SG-1 officially ended, I decided to give Atlantis a try. I watched season 4 on TV, got into it, and realized they'd done a good job on this spin-off. I still had several questions, since I started watching season 4, so I picked up the 1-3 seasons here from Amazon. It didn't disappoint. While there were a few "dud" episodes (which show doesn't have those??), I really enjoyed the whole series thus far, and am looking forward to the new season.
