Putrid,

This review is from: Stargate Infinity: The Complete Series (DVD)
This is not only one of the worst animated series I have ever seen, it is pulled even lower by its association with Stargate (the movie). For those who are fans of the TV shows, this is based on the movie, not on the TV shows, so continuity with the show isn't an issue. But even keeping that in mind I only managed to force my way through the first several episodes before I gave up in disgust. I'd been hoping for something similar to Gargoyles in style and writing quality, but sadly it wasn't to be:(.Everyone has different tastes - and some people like things that I don't - but I can't believe anyone would enjoy this DVD release. I recommend against purchasing this, especially if you are a fan of the Stargate movie. Seeing these low quality, poorly written, atrociously (voice) acted animated shows sometimes ruins the experience of watching the movie that spawned them.

Not the level of Stargate SG-1 or Atlantis,
By Aluria (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stargate Infinity: The Complete Series (DVD)
I have watched every episode, I admit it. This show is super cheesy and the lessons are painfully obvious. They basically hit you over the head with the lessons in fact. I did enjoy the show but other than the big stargate in ever episode, its hard to tell it's related to the franchise. There is any Goa'uld, Ori or Wraith. Nope, instead it's lizard like creatures called the twok'kon(no clue on spelling). This is a kids show through and through, watch it if you don't mind cheesy kids shows. One thing I did like over the live action shows is the use of vehicles, I mean not every planet is going to have towns close to the Stargate and don't any of them get tired of walking?

General synopsis.,
By Jason Kayorie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stargate Infinity: The Complete Series (DVD)
Stargate Infinity is an animated television series produced for children as a spin-off from the popular science fiction series Stargate SG-1 (a series based on the 1994 film Stargate). The cartoon never found its audience and was canceled after one season.The writers and producers of Stargate SG-1 and the main canon of the Stargate franchise were not involved with Infinity, and neither MGM (producers of the Stargate franchise), the production teams nor the fans of Stargate consider Infinity to be an official part of the Stargate universe. The Stargate is an alien device discovered in Egypt, in 1928. Its purpose is to create wormholes to similar devices across the universe, allowing near instantaneous travel to distant planets and galaxies. Stationed at Stargate Command ("the SGC"), a top-secret military base located inside Cheyenne Mountain, teams of explorers (know as SG teams typically assigned numerical designations like "SG-1" "SG-3" "SG-12" etc) go on missions through the Stargate to find new technology and make allies to help defend Earth from alien threats. Stargate Infinity is set 30 years after the Tau'ri (which literally means "the first ones" or "those of the first world" in the language of the alien race known as the Goa'uld) first used the Stargate. According to this show, by this time the Stargate has become public knowledge, and some aliens have become citizens of Earth. In this series, a veteran member of the SGC, Major Gus Bonner, leads a team of young recruits through the gate after being framed by an alien infiltrator from a hostile race known as the Tlak'kahn (the Goa'uld having long since been defeated; this was written years before their defeat was even conceived on SG-1 TV series). The team must travel from world to world until they find the evidence to clear their names. While on their adventures, they learn many things about unique cultures in the galaxy as well as themselves. Because the series was canceled before it's 2nd season, this plot arch was never resolved. The show often featured an educational comment or summary about the moral lessons learned during the course of an episode. 32 of 34 people found the following review helpful

Just not the same as the real thing,
By Alexis Leguyader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stargate Infinity: The Complete Series (DVD)
Just doesn't compare to either stargate series that was on t.v. Cheesy doesn't even began to describe this animated show! I wish it was more of a continuation like the star trek animated series was for star trek. Oh well just keep in mind it has nothing on the original stargate or Atlantis.

Not like the SG-1 TV show,
By C. Stranis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stargate Infinity: The Complete Series (DVD)
As a fan of the TV show for the last 10 years I thought this would be related somehow. It isn't at all. As an adult I could barely watch the first 2 episodes -- then I put the box back on the shelf never to open again.
