Member Movie Reviews Samuel K. (Solvanda) Reviewed on 7/25/2018... Originally intended by Roddenberry to be a Star Trek series, set hundreds of years after the fall of the Federation. Andromeda is the second title chosen posthumously. Initially this show was to be known as "Phoenix Rising" which makes more sense as you watch. Ship is the Andromeda Ascendant (which would have been another in the line of Enterprises.) You'll notice other cornerstones in this show along the way which are contiguous with the Trek-verse. The other main influence in this show is Robert Wolfe, one of the producers, and main writers. He was already seasoned Trek alumni, having written TNG and DS9 episodes. While on DS9, he'd pitched ideas for a new Trek series, which Paramount chose not to develop. These ideas are here in Andromeda, shoehorned in with Roddenberry's content. At the end of season two, Wolfe was basically given his pink slip, as the other producers had determined his scripts were too intelligent. The premise of the show is also wrapped up at this point. Season three onwards has the Captain acting more like Kirk, bedding women left and right and the crew engaging in hero worship (much like what happened with Voyager and Janeway.) The shows are stand alone and simpler too. So, on the whole we almost have two different series in one. I recommend one just take the show for what it is. Interesting fact: The Captain's name Dylan Hunt was also used by Roddenberry in "Genesis II" and "Planet Earth". 4 of 4 member(s) found this review helpful.
Movie ReviewsRendesvous with Rommie ;-) Eric Pregosin | New Carrollton, Maryland United States | 10/07/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I only saw a few episodes of this "Gene Roddenberry Gem that stayed on his desk long after he died", during its original run, but what I saw intrigued me. So much so I bought the novelized version of the pilot in a used book store. But the discs I thought were coing out too slow (2 discs of 1 season at a time THEN a full season after the final set) and too pricey (even here on Amazon). But when I saw the deal for the Complete Set was much better than the sum of its parts, I couldn't resist it. Unfortunately, dummy me spent a gift certificate I had gotten at the same time on another order, but still this is the BIGGEST MEGASET of a series I have ever bought. Now I am going to take the time and watch all these, season by season, so I can finally understand the plots and counterplots (and counterplotz for that matter ;-)) that I missed earlier this decade. I am especially eager to see the first episode where we see Andromeda's physical body working outside the computer let alone the "transition" in Trance. If you bought the other sets or subsets, just complete your collection whichever way is easiest, if you waited to buy all 5 "complete sets", buy THIS set instead. Now to sit back and (pardon my Arthur Clarke) time for a "Renedesvous With Rommie" ;-)" The Best Ever Set Scott Z. Carns | US Army, The World | 02/04/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I believe this is by far the best DVD set ever created. This set is well worth every single penny spent. I absolutely loved this collection. To be able to see every episode and so much behind the scenes information was incredible. I really wished that Andromeda stayed on for many more seasons. I believe shows like these bring some light into our dark world at times. If Andromeda was to come out again, they definitely have someone here willing to watch every winking moment." Excellent Sci-Fi Series All About Greyhounds | NH - United States | 10/05/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Had no idea the Andromeda series was coming out "bundled" together in one box set collection. Was at Best Buy looking at other items and by chance stumbled across the collection. FYI - Best Buy is selling it for $99
Picked it up as a FY'06 Christmas present for the husband. Regardless if you buy it here or through Best Buy, the price is a great bargain for those who can wait for the box set rather than purchase each season individually. Some of you may wonder about Kevin Sorbo stepping out of the Hercules role well enough to define himself as a different character. He does a great job in the series and is convincing as Dylan Hunt. What I like about the series is each episode acts as a stand alone with a clear story to tell. Yet, each episode is woven into the entire series and like a puzzle, the pieces fit. My husband and I were hooked from episode 1. The boxed collection is attractive and the thin paks will not monopolize an entire DVD shelf. The thin paks, when in the box together, display the Andromeda Ascendent on the spinal cover. Excellent series. This is a good deal." |
