Movie Reviews of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: Slipstream Collection
Movie Review: Story potential unrealized, writing sub-par
Summary: 2 Stars
I just finished watching this entire series, and I have to say I'm very disappointed.
I had read the basic plot synopsis on wikipedia, and I was intrigued and in the market for a new sci-fi series. I hadn't seen any of Andromeda on TV, so bought this set to give it a shot.
Upon reflection, it wasn't worth the time to watch it. I kept hoping that the writing would improve, but it didn't. The initial setting and plot - a super-advanced warship essentially slipping forward in time to a sci-fi dark age - is an awesome concept. But the stories never lived up to their potential, and some episodes had some fairly mind boggling inconsistencies with one another.
The acting, I thought, was fine, and the special effects were fairly good for a TV Sci fi series. The DVDs are well packaged with plenty of extras. These elements of the show made me rate the series with two stars, instead of one. I will note that this DVD set has the annoying penchant for putting only 2-3 episodes per disk, when they could easily fit 4-5 and cut down on space. As noted by another reviewer, though, they do use thinpaks, so there is that.
If you're looking for a good sci fi fix, I really recommend you look elsewhere, as this series was disappointing.
