Atlantis Series 2 Complete Pack Page
The Atlantis Series 2 Complete Pack is a beautiful disaster. It is darker, braver, and more emotional than Series 1, but it trips over its own feet in the final sprint. For the price of a used pack ($15-$20), you get 13 hours of solid mythological entertainment. Just turn off the TV before the museum scene.
...And then it ruins it with a involving a modern-day Jason walking through a museum. The writers were clearly setting up a spin-off (or a Series 3) that never came. Watching this in the Complete Pack feels like biting into an apple and finding a gear. It is confusing, unsatisfying, and leaves you angry at the BBC for cancelling the show. Final Verdict | Rating | 3.5 / 5 Stars | | :--- | :--- | | Buy if: | You love British fantasy, don't mind soap-opera drama, and want to see a brilliant villain. | | Skip if: | You need consistent VFX or a satisfying, tidy conclusion. | Atlantis Series 2 Complete Pack
Format: DVD/Blu-ray Box Set (Typically 3-4 Discs) Genre: Historical Fantasy / Family Adventure Original Network: BBC One (2013-2015) The Verdict: A Gloriously Messy, Mythological Rollercoaster If Series 1 of Atlantis was the awkward, exposition-heavy pilot episode of a D&D campaign, Series 2 is the moment the Dungeon Master throws out the rulebook, cranks up the drama, and kills off your favorite character just to see you cry. This Complete Pack is an essential, albeit flawed, purchase for fans of Merlin or Hercules: The Legendary Journeys . The Atlantis Series 2 Complete Pack is a beautiful disaster
While the Medusa and Minotaur (briefly) look great, the CGI for the "Sea of Monsters" in Episode 11 is PS2-era graphics. On a large 4K TV, the green screen during the final battle is distractingly flat. The Elephant in the Room: The Ending Warning: Mild Spoilers. Just turn off the TV before the museum scene
Rent it first. If the death of Medusa makes you tear up, buy the pack. If you roll your eyes at Jason’s brooding, walk away.
Binge-watching this pack reveals a jarring tonal shift. Episode 3 is a somber meditation on death. Episode 4 features a musical number with a cyclops. The Complete Pack does not smooth over these whiplash transitions.
