SG-U - Best Stargate Yet,
By Laurence R. Hunt "Laurence Hunt" (Kenora, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Stargate SG-U: 1.0 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
SG-U departs in a risky fashion from the tried and true Stargate formula. In my view, that is a good thing - a very good thing. I'm not saying this because I don't enjoy the Stargate franchise to date (I really loved the Frank Lloyd Wright-influenced Atlantis), but because this bold exploration develops entirely new possibilities both in terms of the technical/scientific underpinnings of the show (OK, let's start to explore the entire known universe now) and the dramatic assumptions (Hey, this doesn't have to be about endless battles with bad guys bent on galactic parasitism or domination).Yes, SG-U is a human drama set in the mind-shattering context of (unintentional!) inter-galactic exploration. As a lifelong science fiction fan, that is certainly premise enough to draw me in. And the execution? Novel. Genre-defying. Creative. And in my view, entirely a success in all respects. SG-U will stand as a science fiction classic to be remembered for generations.

Can you say rip off?,

This review is from: Stargate SG-U: 1.0 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This is Sci Fi's idea of covering up for their losses. They must think that all North Americans are idiots. First thing first this is only 10 episodes, not even half a season for some shows.Science fiction at least my idea of it usually includes alien races and so far this has only been human survival on an alien ship. A very poor imitation of an excellent SG-1 and Atlantis franchise. The second let down is the price. SG-1 And Atlantis included made 22 episodes seasons for $59.00 Canadian and they didn't try to rip us off with half season packaging of only 10 episodes. So SG-1 and Atlantis were an average cost of $2.69 per episode. And Universe at $63.00 lol for 10 episodes $6.30 per episode for only 10% of their predecessor's quality. Sci Fi thanks but no thanks keep your trash or sell this for what it's worth $20.00 Canadian. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of the first 2 shows and got it all on DVD cheapest and best SF show of all time second only to Babylon 5. Denis.G

Not a bad show but $80/season? Now that's science fiction ...,
By DMBX "dm_video" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stargate SG-U: 1.0 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This show surprised me in a good way at the half-season finale, "Justice". Before that point the show usually had all the excitement of watching a glacier melt. But that episode was pretty ballsy, and gave some hope that the series really is different from other Stargate shows. I enjoyed the previous shows for what they were, but the formula needs shaking up.But this nonsense the sales idiots came up with -- "Hey let's jedi mind-trick everybody into thinking half seasons are actually full seasons, and charge them full season prices" -- is just sad. ~$40 for a half season is $80 per season guys, and people aren't even paying that for shows that have proved themselves far superior. (Despite the stylistic overtures, so far this show is not even close to BSG when it was at its best. Then again, neither was the BSG finale, but you get the idea.) Apologies to those who believe you can't review a product without owning it -- but I'm sorry, if you own this set at this price, *you* have been pwned. I did watch every episode when they aired, but don't own the set -- and won't, until somebody at MGM realizes that lowering, not raising, prices in a recession will increase sales. Of course I can't comment on the extras, but there aren't any extras that could possibly make this a good deal. So here's my suggestion to MGM: go over the minutes of whatever "How can we screw customers?" meeting in which it was decided to try this approach for SGU DVD/Blu-Ray sales. Pull the name of the guy who suggested it. And then send him back to Wendy's or McDonalds where he belongs. 41 of 48 people found the following review helpful

Too much for too little,
By Christopher Smith "CD Junkie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stargate SG-U: 1.0 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I really wish studios would stop this obnoxious habit of releasing "half" seasons at full price. Yeah, I can understand that this release will tide fans over until the series resumes in 2010, but $70 for 10 episodes on the Blu-ray is excessive. And of course there's always the possibility that there will be a full season set released at some point for a double-dip later on. Some credit is due for including high-res audio.As far as the series is concerned, it has possibilities, but I struggle to find any of the characters likable (except for Eli, who's clearly there to appeal to the nerd herd) and the stories have little action of consequence. The show is suffering an identity crisis as it doesn't know whether to be Battlestar Galactica (big shoes to fill) or a soap opera. I think I'll sit this one out for the moment and see what happens next! 17 of 19 people found the following review helpful

Please do not buy this!,
By Jeremy Gawthorp - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stargate SG-U: 1.0 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Why do these studios keep trying to rip us off? This is half of a season, so to get the whole season you have to make two purchases. That is stupid, so please do not support there decision to rob us.
