There are 2 crimes associated with this stunning Blu-ray

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2013

Verified Purchase

The first crime is that the second season of SGU has STILL not been released on blu-ray, now over 2 years since the series ended. I just finished watching this season one blu-ray set, and it is OUTSTANDING. I'd watched the original run on SyFy HD on satellite, and had thought it looked pretty good. But seeing it in blu-ray was unreal. It just looked amazing. Biggest difference I've ever seen between a show on blu-ray versus watching it in HD on sat/cable. I believe it's because the overall look of the series was so dark; they've boarded an ancient ship, and the show designers were going for a "Jules Verne" kind of look to all the sets. So given how dark some of the sets were, the details just didn't come out on a regular HD channel. But watching it in blu-ray, where you're seeing exactly what the show producers intended in pristine digital form, all of those details just come alive. (The true test of HD picture quality, by the way, is how well the TV handles black levels. So the better the HDTV, the better a disc like these will work.)

And it's not just the set shots either. The special effects in the show just look amazing. I'd always thought the new Battlestar Galactica set the standard for modern HD special effects, but honestly the ones here in SGU look better. The shots where the "Destiny" whips through the atmosphere of a gas giant, or dives towards the surface of a star to reenergize itself, or the shots of it leaving a galaxy, are just incredible. Seeing it on blu-ray, I could tell they must have used real Hubble telescope shots for some of these effects. The detail is just amazing. What really drove this home for me, is that I still had some of these episodes on my DirecTV DVR recorded off the SyFy HD channel. So I was able to immediately compare the two. The blu-ray just blew the DirecTV picture away. Those shots of Destiny leaving the galaxy were phenomenal on blu-ray, just ho-hum on SyFy HD through DirecTV.

And this blu-ray presentation really makes you appreciate what a beautiful ship design the Destiny is. Probably one of the best looking ships in any scifi TV series ever. The blu-ray has some great extras, and even the disc's main menu sequence just looks awesome, as it slowing works through the ship, ending up in the "observation room".

The SECOND crime is that this series was cancelled after two seasons. I watched it all through from the beginning during the original SyFy run, and was one of those who was pretty unhappy with the first season. I thought there was too much conflict between these characters, making it feel more contrived than realistic. But watching the first season straight through in a week (a little binge watching...), left me with a totally different impression. My change in opinion started with the 3-part pilot; the blu-ray has an expanded version, which helps fill in some of the backstories setting up the conflict. And watching it straight through makes the first season more like a flowing novel, because it really is just one long story. This time, the conflict felt much more justified, given the backgrounds of these characters and the situation they've been thrust into. Which meant the storyline was just much more engaging.

So my opinion of the first season went from a "B-" to a solid "A" on this second viewing. BUT, it was in the second season where SGU really earned its scifi cred. That's when they started doing great, hardcore scifi that is so lacking in television and movies these days. Having now seen the first season on this blu-ray, and about to start watching the second archived on my DVR, I'm now even more disappointed that whoever is in charge (SyFy, MGM?) still refuses to release the season 2 blu-ray.

Clearly one reason SGU got cancelled was that it was so expensive to make. Well, that money is all on the screen, both in terms of set design, visuals, script quality, directing, and acting. Robert Carlyle's performance as Dr. Rush alone elevates this series above 95% of the acting in television. If no network can put this kind of money into a scifi series and make it work, well, you'd better at least get the season 1 blu-ray, because we might never see any scifi of this quality on television again.

Unfortunately one reason the ratings were low, was that the traditional Stargate fans wouldn't get on board with such a dark series. Especially after SG-1 and Atlantis, which were admittedly good scifi, but were pretty light fare. And yes, from a story perspective, SGU can get pretty grim. Maybe they focused just a bit too much on sacrifice and loss in the first season. But that's what the story dictated. Once the actual mission of the Destiny is revealed in season 2 (I won't give it away here), you'll see that this was a completely original and gripping idea, and the story they could've told over another few seasons could've made it the best scifi ever on television. If the fans of the original Stargate could've just given it a chance, and not just wanted a repeat of the same things they'd seen before, SGU might've survived. But as it is, SGU will stand as one of the scifi series with massive potential, whose cancellation was truly criminal.

A Great New Spin on Stargate!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

“Stargate Universe – Season 1” collects the first twenty episodes of the latest entry in the “Stargate” franchise that originally aired on Syfy between 2 October 2009 and 11 June 2010. The story picks up after the events of Dean Devlin & Roland Emmerich’s 1994 “Stargate” film as well as the television series “Stargate SG-1” and “Stargate Atlantis” (like the preceding television series, this one does not reference the “Stargate Infinity” animated series that is considered non-canonical). Each series has gone further than the last, with “SG-1” going beyond the planet in the original film, “Atlantis” going to a new galaxy, and now “Stargate Universe” uncovers more secrets about the gate, including a 9-chevron address that dials in to the autonomous Ancient ship Destiny which is traveling in far-flung galaxies establishing new stargate networks. Unlike previous series, this one has a greater sense of jeopardy as the ship’s age and the extreme distance from Earth put the human crew in danger. Further, members of the Lucian Alliance (human mercenaries from the Milky Way Galaxy that filled the power vacuum left behind by the Goa’uld) want to access the ship and use it as a weapon. The story alternates between events on the Destiny and back on Earth.

“Stargate Universe” introduces new characters Dr. Nicholas Rush (Robert Carlyle), Colonel Everett Young (Louis Ferreira), Lt. Matthew Scott (Brian J. Smith), Chloe Armstrong (Elyse Levesque), Eli Wallace (David Blue), Lt. Tamara Johansen (Alaina Huffman), Master Sgt. Ronald Greer (Jamil Walker Smith), Camile Wray (Ming-Na Wen), Adam Brody (Peter Kelamis), Dr. Dale Volker (Patrick Gilmore), Dr. Lisa Park (Jennifer Spence), and Colonel David Telford (Lou Diamond Phillips). Returning characters include Richard Dean Anderson as Lieutenant General Jack O’Neill, Michael Shanks as Dr. Daniel Jackson, Amanda Tapping as Colonel Samantha Carter, Bill Dow as Dr. Bill Lee, Gary Jones as Chief Mst Sgt. Walkter Harriman, and David Hewlett as Dr. Rodney McKay. The show demonstrates some of the influence of Syfy’s “Battlestar Galactica” as it takes a darker tone than either previous “Stargate” series used while also featuring more handicam-style filming to create a sense of intensity.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

SG-U a Marmite series that unfortunately only lasted for two seasons. Its different to its two predecessors SG & SG-A, for starters its mostly set on the spaceship Destiny which was built by a race we all know as the "Ancients" (originally from the Milky Way galaxy around several million years ago) a super advanced race whose technology is way beyond that of the human race and possibly all others, they are also responsible for creating the Stargates which give instantaneous travel to different planets across the galaxy.

SG-U has a different approach as they are constantly on the move rather than working from a single location, the spaceship Destiny, which was launched by the Ancients millions of years ago was originally intended to be boarded when it was far enough out into the universe, to help achieve this they had sent Stargate seeder ships ahead to place Stargates on various planets. This however was later abandoned following the ancients progress into ascension (god like level of existence).

The Ancients had planned on boarding Destiny by using the Stargate on-board it, however to do this they would need to enter an address that consisted of nine chevrons, for those of you who SG & SG-A fans this was something that needed a serious amount of energy in order to ake it possible.

This series starts with a team of soldiers and scientists what we know as present-day Earth, the team arrive on Destiny following a devastating attack on their base which drove them blindly through the Stargate and onto Destiny. They quickly establish that many of its primary systems are either damaged, failing or are unknown to them. Due to this lack of knowledge and the fact that Destiny is following its original programming they are unable to return to Earth or even fly the ship for that matter.

But there is one thing that Destiny does on a regular bases, and that is stop periodically, These stops allow the crew to dial the Stargate and visit planets, giving them the opportunity to restock with supplies along with some repairs to the ship, repairs that essential to sustaining their lives.

I can remember reading somewhere that the original idea was for each season to be a journey through a different galaxy, the idea being that they wanted to appeal to both SG & SG-A fans while attracting a newer audience at the same time, to do attempt this they used established Stargate mythology, technologies and SG aspects sparingly so as to keep it in line but not soaked with everything we have seen already.

They have kept familiar Stargate themes of adventure, action and exploration, but altered the focus to be mainly on the crew. The show has often been referred to as "dark and edgy", a story of hope with elements of fear, terror, betrayal and tragedy, but not without its humorous moments.

Good and evil are less obvious but this is because the ship is crewed by a group of people who were never meant to be on such a mission, so this allows for more character flaws, being unprepared, depression, panic and quick to pass judgement on one another. There are a few aliens but this time they are more varied rather larger singular threats SG's Goa'uld and SG-A's Wraith.

SG-U only lasted for two seasons due to the viewer numbers dropping by over a third, this forced them into ending at series two, the series simply wasn't cost effective to keep it running, shame really as I loved the series, but then I am a big SG fan, that said I feel they could have done more with it. Season two got better with improved FX and the fact that they started to focus on its crew who are more fractured than team, almost factional in places with copious amounts of mistrust.

I love it, and think most sci-fi fans will love it, but as for newer fans well that's where my Marmite but comes in the most, you will love it or hate it...

Takes its time, mostly worth it though

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

As a diehard Stargate fan I feel that SGU ended too soon, but it's not hard to work out why. The first season takes far too long to hit its stride and feels far too different from its predecessors, so by the time the generally superior second season rolled around the damage was already done. From the offset the producers pulled out all the stops to distance SGU from its predecessors in terms of tone, and they were a little too successful.

This is a show that tried far too hard to emulate Battlestar Galactica's dark, brooding and gritty feel, something that feels especially forced considering the other two series in the franchise. Yes, SG-1 and SGA both had moments of darkness and some grim themes, but the general feeling was one of action, adventure and entertainment. Initially SGU doesn't feel like the kind of Stargate established by ten seasons of SG-1 and five of Atlantis, though eventually it finds a good niche, albeit too late, and this distance drove off a lot of the fanbase, particularly those who thought SGA was 'sacrificed' to make way for the very different SGU. I was one of them - when first broadcast, I stuck it out for four episodes before leaving, annoyed by the franchise's new turn. However, I'm glad I made a point of watching it through properly when it was later repeated. This is something of a slow burner that rewards repeat viewings.

bluray reveals the detail, series was briliant, great loss to the franchise

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

BluRay quality is a must for all the dimly-lit scenes, and required to fully appreciate the effort that went into the sets and effects. I loved this series, as it represented the most "grown-up" side of the franchise - the actors were mostly superb and the storylines were refreshingly deeper than previous SG series. Very annoyed the series was cancelled after just 2 years, and especially annoyed that they never released the second series on BluRay - still bought it on DVD but would have preferred as a BluRay. Much more satisfying to watch these episodes back-to-back than on a TV schedule - you can break between the story elements rather than when an episode ends, and given that there were quite a few multi-episodic arcs, that makes quite a difference.

STRANDED IN THE VOID

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 2, 2015

This was a great adventure and I was really enjoying it - until they CANCELLED it and left everyone floating off into the void with poor old Eli staring off into nothingness. NO ENDING - VERY ANNOYING - DON'T BUY, you'll only be frustrated.
Don't you just hate it when the production companies do that? They should, at least, make a commitment to an episode to wind up a story if they prematurely abandon a series. They did that with "Pushing Daisies" - it was very badly done but at least it gave the fans some sort of closure. The excellent "Firefly" series did much better by providing the feature film "Serenity" to wind it all up. And as Mister Punch would say, "That's the way to do it!"

Stargate Universe - Complete Season 1

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

Wow, I thought this may be a little like the old SG1 format, but how wrong was I.

This is a brilliant series, more "up to the minute" with the whole concept. Robert Carlisle is absolutely brilliant as Dr Rush and the rest of the cast really step up to the mark to keep up with him.

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching this series, and re-watching it until series 2 came out (I believe they're not making any more, how silly is that).

This could keep going as long as SG1 and be more interesting too .......... perhaps they should have retired off the old SG1 format and picked up the pace with this concept
