May 2, 2018 | Full Review… Joanna Weiss Boston Globe Top Critic An eye-catching new series Oct 2, 2009 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic Stargate Universe aims, bluntly, to make the Stargate franchise hip and flashy to a new generation. Oct 2, 2009 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic Now here's Stargate Universe, which - judging by this double length opener - creators Brad Wright and Robert S. Cooper might equally well have called Stargate Galactica, Stargate Trek, or even Stargate Lost. Jul 16, 2018 | Full Review… Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk Cap it off with one of the most intense cliffhanger endings any sci-fi show has ever given us, and you have a fantastic first season. May 21, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Jason Hughes CinemaBlend I am not compelled to disembark with them. Not yet. May 18, 2018 | Full Review… Bruce Simmons ScreenRant Destiny is on for a pretty spectacular ride in Season 1 and if you go along for the ride it can be a pretty fulfilling adventure. May 18, 2018 | Full Review… CJ Simonson Collider After a shaky start, the show developed into something much better than expected, with the unwilling and unprepared crew regularly at risk from internal power struggles, alien attacks and mysterious forces. May 18, 2018 | Full Review… Phelim O'Neill Guardian Top Critic True, "Stargate" fans likely will climb aboard this spaceship. But if this series is ever to really take off and become stellar, it will need more surprising stories and more intellectually challenging drama. May 18, 2018 | Full Review… Barry Garron Hollywood Reporter Top Critic It all makes for an intriguing setup that doesn't quite gel, even by the end of the third episode.
