Andromeda

Price : $0.00
Supplier :
Available : Progressively

More than 3000 years ago, aliens from a planet called Tarn Vedra in the Andromeda galaxy invented a way to travel across the stars almost instantaneously. They called it Slipstream, and they used it to build a vast commonwealth of planets across six galaxies. When Earth was ready, we were welcomed into it.

It was a vast, diverse group of cultures working together in peace, striving to spread civilization across the Universe. Unfortunately, some factions came to disagree with the Commonwealth's methods.

The Nietzscheans - a group of genetically engineered humans who follow a strict interpretation of Nietzsche - felt that the Commonwealth was weak because it made treaties with its greatest enemies - the Magog. So they formed a rebellion and attacked the Commonwealth of which they were a part. The result was a civil war that plunged the Universe into a new Dark Age.

If you like Sci-Fi then this is something to add to your watch list.

Dylan Hunt is the captain of the Andromeda Ascendant, a ship which serves in the military force of the Systems Commonwealth, a monarchy which spans several galaxies. Hunt and his ship are subsequently frozen for several centuries. Revived by a passing salvage ship, Hunt is horrified to find that the Commonwealth has collapsed and all known galaxies have descended into barbarism. Hunt decides to take his ship and crew on a trip around the cosmos to attempt to restore order to the known galaxies.

It has everything that you could want, action, romance, awesome weapons and technology, fight scenes, drama etc. I found it an easy enough show to follow as I would miss out on every 2nd episode, but it was always easily summed up in one or two sentences for me.

Tucker   Review #28 - Dated: 12th of October, 2003

Despite the near-constant anticipation of seeing some yoddeling warrior woman leaping out of a side alley (a character-niche well covered by 'Tyr') this is a great sci-fi flick... and has the 'Star Trek' bonuses of 'a universe full of amazingly humanoid lifeforms' without seeming too unbelievable, an ever-increasing list of possible plotlines and some cool weapons that look somewhat common but have some decidedly uncommoon effects on space/time.

Well into it's fourth season in the States, this series screened on Sky Digital in New Zealand and is now available on DVD. At 2 episodes per $29.99+/- disc, 11 discs per series, this series could be considered a little expensive, but is well worth it if you liked Star Trek : NG, DS9, Voyager, etc.

Very frunky indeed. Well worth a view, so if you know a Sci-Fi buff, talk them into buying the discs, so you can borrow them. :)
