Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

marsodyssey2010 Star Gate infinity reads like it was written by a 'Diversity society of American' focus group.It has cast members from every social background a couple of different races, and a couple of different species. Every member has experienced racism, specialisms or childhood trauma and has come though it with a valuable moral lesson that they cannot resist imparting to the rest of the world. Making this one of the most preachy cartoons of the 90s.Of course, because it's a an American children's cartoon , they can't actually tackle 'real' issues in any meaningful way. So, no messages on divorce, death (unless its a pet or a 2000 year old grandfather), sexuality, dating, US foreign policy, or why prescription drugs cover on medi care is essential for the working poor.Most episodes involve the cast jetting around the cosmos in supped up dune buggies righting wrongs and solving injustice which, while an admirable thing to do in itself, is spoiled by the fact that they do it by converting aliens to 'the American way of life'.Don't get me wrong, children can learn valuable lessons from this show, like not judging people by their skin color, or labeling people based on social prejudices, but anybody with even the smallest tendency towards cynicism will get fed up with the constant 'diversity is good' message, and anybody whose blood boils when they hear the phrases "what's good for America is good for the world" will feel like throwing a brick through the TV after about five minutes.Otherwise, it's pretty average for an American cartoon in terms of plot variety, voice talent and quality of animation.Contains mild peril, fantasy firearms, and socially difficult situations like bullying and racism, but no nudity, bad language, or real violence.

n-rouillard I didn't think that it could be quite as bad as it was. This is possibly the worst cartoon on television at the moment. Just because it's made for children isn't an excuse not to make it well.This is quite simply a disservice to the Stargate name, and not suitable for children due to the extremely poor quality. We need decent childrens cartoons!

The_Missus When I read some reviews about how it appears to have no relation to SG:1, or even the film apart from having the gate I thought "Nah... It's Stargate! It can't be that bad!" But oh yes, it is. It's completely bizarre and I don't know WHAT the makers were thinking.I'm sure that in it's own right it's an enjoyable show from a kids perspective, and when I get over the fact that it's so damn silly I might be able to enjoy it as mindless entertainment. Perhaps if I can catch the Pilot Episode It might make a little more sense, perhaps if it were set 50 into SG1's future, maybe more it'd be more believable?

phillatio After watching some of the pilot episode, I too thought this was a travesty to the SG-1 namesake. But I checked back 10 episodes later, and found it a nice diversion while the Sci-Fi channel has the real show on hiatus. You have to expect them to dumb down the plots for younger kids, and the animation can only improve with time. The art reminds me of Batman Beyond. So, please give it some time, and try it again this summer in re-runs when there's nothing else on.
