"The Storm"

[allmoviesfan · 8/10 · 16 April 2024]

There's a big storm coming and Atlantis is right in the eye of it, so evacuation is ordered.

As it turns out, the natural storm isn't the biggest danger to Sheppard, Weir and co.

That comes from the Genii, who wanted C4 explosives and were trying to build an atomic bomb to take out the Wraith a few episodes ago - their leader was played by "Star Trek" veteran Colm Meaney.

Well, the Genii - a good bunch of adversaries for the Atlantis crew - are are back in "The Storm" with a loftier and far more nefarious goal in mind: control of the Atlantis stargate. And, it seems the leader of their strike force doesn't care how he gets control, just as long as he does.

A two-part episode with a solid cliffhanger leading into the concluding half.

Sci-Fi & Disaster

Two hurricanes are heading for Atlantis.

After several episodes about the the deadly menace known as The Wraith, this two-parter comes as a welcome surprise!

You will have to wait until part two (The Eye) to see the hurricane itself but when it comes you will not be let down...however don't expect flooded Atlantis corridors of the type seen in The Poseidon Adventure (1972) as we are talking about a TV show budget here.

The once rather bland character of Lt. Ford is starting to come together in this two-parter and it is a crying shame the guy never returns after this season. To me atleast, he seems just fine for this show and he is certainly better than his annoyingly hulk-ish replacement in season two.

Goofy and Too Predictable

First off, Robert Davi is a (at best) a mediocre actor. One of the funniest scenes is when Davi is "training" against 3 people. He is quite overweight. All 4 are obviously stunt people with the sound editors adding Hong Kong Kung Fu cinema sound effects. It's so bad I laughed out loud. The only reason I gave it a 6/10 is for the laughs.
