Stargate: Atlantis (TV Series) The Ark (2007) User Reviews

Another good episode for the third season

[tenshi_ippikiookami · 7/10 · 14 November 2015]

Stargate Atlantis offers another episode which is way more intelligent than it seems. Under the surface, we get a very interesting story about sacrifice and trying the best to save your people.

The crew arrive to a space station, that seems deserted, but soon they discover that it is not. Some people were put in a machine, the last survivors of a planet, in hope that they would be able to go back there after the Wraith left.

What we get from here is another episode with dodgy acting, and some "weird" science, but with a cool story and some good moments, and where the team will have to face some tough situations. Stargate Atlatis keeps being smarter than it should be. Come for the brand recognition, stay for the warm stories.

Easily the worst episode of the series

[ANannyMoose02 · 1/10 · 7 January 2024]

This episode is unbearable. Not only is the plot boring and inconsistent, but the acting by those two non-actors is so incredibly bad, why didn't the casting director just cast bit-part actors. These two complete morons have clearly never acted a day in their lives. There isn't even a single moment that made me chuckle. Normally a bad episode of Atlantis has at least one redeeming moment, but this tremendously terrible episode is brutally excruciating the entire way through. It is one of the few episodes that can truly be skipped. If it weren't for Season 4 and 5 being so much better I'd say just quit the show now. Season 3 was their worst season, by far.
