"Stargate: Atlantis": a short plot of the film

The first season of this film a wide range of spectators could see in 2004. He was filmed jointly by two film companies - American and Canadian. The series "Stargate: Atlantis", the actors and roles in which are selected very carefully and very successfully, tells about the adventures of an expedition sent from Earth in order to master the secrets of the ancient civilizations. Earthlings could fly to this expedition due to the fact that the secret of the Stargate was discovered, through which they found themselves in the seemingly long lost and forgotten city of the Ancients in the Pegasus galaxy.

Successful continuation of the idea of producers

The series "Stargate: Atlantis" became a kind of continuation of "Stargate SG-1". According to the plot, the territory of the universe, which is located behind the stargate, is owned by the MGM. This company is already known to the spectators who watched the movie "Stargate SG-1", and the idea to return it to the new series called "Stargate: Atlantis" belongs to two major producers - Robert Cooper and Brad Wright.

At first glance, these two films may appear to be similar to one another and a science fiction genre. Despite the easy-to-see resemblance of the new series to the previous work of the producers, "Stargate: Atlantis", the actors in which they coped well with the tasks set and played their roles magnificently, does not at all create the impression of the film with a jaded plot. All seasons are related to one main story, but the new series talk about new stories. Thanks to this series "Stargate: Atlantis", despite a huge number of seasons, does not allow its regular viewers to be bored.

A small producer cunning to attract the audience

It is known that people who love sci-fi movies watch out for any movies that are released in this genre. The first co-produced by Wright and Cooper series "Stargate SG-1" came out on a wide screen in 1997. He had as many as 10 seasons and became extremely popular, deservedly gaining his audience of devoted spectators.

In order to attract a wide audience to its second joint work, the series "Stargate: Atlantis" was decided to be made a film, the plot of which became a kind of branch of the first successful project.

Successful selection of actors

The unquestionable truth is the statement that the professional work of the director and the dynamically developing plot make a good run. A multi-part film, which fully meets the above criteria, is the movie "Stargate: Atlantis." Actors, photos of which are presented in our article, also completely coped with the task. In the film, the same composition is played, which plays the team that went to the space expedition. Conditionally actors of "Stargate: Atlantis" are divided into permanent, episodic (participate in the necessity of the story line) and, starting from the second season, the characters from the "Stargate: SG-1" appear systematically in the film.

The creator of the expedition

One of the main roles in this film went to Torrey Higginson, a Canadian actress. She took part in the filming of the first three seasons and played a diplomat and expedition organizer who managed to gather the right team for intergalactic studies. This actress already had shooting experience before, she worked on such films as "Wars of the Fuel and Energy Complex", and also "English patient". Torrey at the time of filming had the experience of participation in both series (starred in "The Knight Forever"), and in short films (the role of the main plan in "The Photographer's Wife").

Many viewers believe that in the series "Stargate: Atlantis" the actors of the main roles have coped with their tasks perfectly, and Higginson always deservedly receives a special praise. She very organically blended with the image of the leader Elizabeth Weir, who is strict with her crew, but she can make mistakes and, if necessary, she can admit it.

In the fifth season, the original position of Elizabeth is taken by Richard Woolsey, who becomes the new leader of the expedition. This hero earned the respect of the audience and for many became a favorite character. Woolsey appears as a principled man, inclined to bureaucracy, loving discipline and requiring in everything order. At the same time, the leader is ready to give in to his principles and make exceptions in those cases when the issue of preserving human lives arises. Very successfully coped with this role and accurately managed to convey the screen image of Richard Woolsey American actor Robert Picardo. He has a great acting experience. First came on the screen in 1981 and since then managed to star in more than 20 diverse films and various serials.

One of the brightest characters

Despite some changes in the composition, there are actors "Stargate: Atlantis", which remain in the film for all 5 seasons. One of the most vivid characters who took part in all five seasons is John Sheppard. In the expedition he got absolutely by accident and became one of the main crew members. This hero has a very bright image - this is a young man who is a descendant of the Ancients. He surprisingly cleverly copes with any aircraft and is an ideal pilot. A natural sense and intuition help him to find a way out of seemingly completely hopeless situations. Sheppard is always friendly and optimistic.

Joe Flanigan, an American actor, was able to perfect this screen image. He distinguished himself by not only starring in the series, but also in the period from 2004 to 2009, he was one of the co-authors of the series.

Main cast

Separate attention is also paid to the secondary actors of "Stargate: Atlantis", who play the rest of the crew, as well as the role of the second plan, and at the same time participate in almost all seasons. First of all it is possible to single out Tailu - an alien, who is an indispensable member of the crew and the strongest warrior, besides she is recognized as the Queen of the people of the planet Atoz. The image of a woman who perfectly copes with all matters, besides has time to devote her family time (Tayla has a son and husband in the plot), Canadian actress Rachel Rattlerr was very good at conveying. She comes from Tanzania and thanks to this she has a beautiful specific appearance, which makes her image vivid and unforgettable.

The role of Carson Beckett, the most talented doctor who can cope with almost any disease, went to Paul McGillion. American actor Jason Momoa played Ronon Dex, an excellent warrior who became one of the surviving members of his planet. This character is remembered by his appearance.

Roles of the second plan

Actors of the series "Stargate: Atlantis", which play a secondary role, also deserve attention. The roles of civil scientists, who regularly appear in the film throughout the five seasons, went to Brenda James, David Nyaklu, Craig Verona.

In all seasons, except for the first, the film features two Air Force colonels - Abraham Ellis and Stephen Caldwell. These roles are very successfully performed by two actors - Mitch Pilleggi and Mike Beech. Throughout all five seasons in the film meets the same technical specialist - Chuck. An interesting fact is that the actor who played his role in real life has the same name (Chuck Campbell).

Since the series has five seasons, and each new series traces its story, it is unfortunately impossible to recall and list all the actors who took part in the shooting, within the framework of one article. But numerous reviews of the spectators confirm that they have all perfectly played the images of their screen heroes, and these images after viewing the "Stargate: Atlantis" for a long time remain in memory.
