A Bold New Chapter

• Stargate SG-1 (1997-2007)
• Stargate Atlantis (2004-2009)
• Stargate Universe (2009-2011)

Together, these shows built a sprawling universe of wormhole travel, alien civilizations, and military sci-fi adventures. The franchise also expanded into animated series, novels, comics, and direct-to-DVD films

Creative Team

The new series brings together a powerhouse of creative talent:

• Martin Gero - Creator, Executive Producer, Showrunner (Stargate: Atlantis, Blindspot)
• Joby Harold & Tory Tunnell - Executive Producers (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters)
• Dean Devlin & Roland Emmerich - Original Stargate creators returning as producers
• Brad Wright & Joseph Mallozzi - Longtime Stargate veterans serving as consulting producers

This blend of franchise veterans and fresh creative voices signals Amazon's commitment to honoring the legacy while pushing the story forward.

New Poster revealed and who isnt ready for Season 2 after they did such a great job on Season 1!

"The Electric State," directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, has garnered predominantly negative reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a low critic score of 15%, indicating widespread disapproval. Critics have pointed out issues such as excessive exposition, lackluster storytelling, and underdeveloped characters. For instance, a review from InSession Film describes it as "an expensive story about collective synergy and the idea that 'family is what you make it.' Yet, it lacks cohesion and, even worse, fun—pure cotton candy cinema at its worst." ​

Despite the critical panning, audience reactions have been more favorable. The film has achieved a 79% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 6/10 rating on IMDb, suggesting that some viewers found it entertaining. However, it's worth noting that the film's viewership declined rapidly after its initial release, dropping from Netflix's No. 1 spot to No. 5 within a week. ​Tom's Guide

In summary, while "The Electric State" boasts impressive visual effects and a star-studded cast, it has been criticized for its storytelling and character development. Potential viewers may want to consider both the critical reviews and audience opinions before deciding to watch the film.​
