I thought that most of the special effects in Atlantis were pretty good.
There some shots that were not the best but there was one that I can think of atm
that was just horrible and that was hands down the hive landing in "Infection"
Another one was the ending of "The Last Man"
But yes SGU's special effects are awesome.

I think best use of CGI in SGA would be in the three episodes of The Siege. One particular shot of the city springs to mind. Nothing at all going on, but it was against a dark backdrop that really worked. Rewatching that ep the other day made me seriously regret the direction SGA chose. S1 and 2 of SGA were actually very good, and had quite a dark tone at times.
As for bad CGI... I say nothing's worse than The Lost Tribe.

Originally posted by thekillman View Posti think the main flaw of atlantis is and remains money. they had practically the same budget as SG1 yet had a different and more money-consuming setting. in SG1? a lab is nothing more than a small room, add a metal table, some computers, a locker or so, and you're done. SGA had it's own style, an entire city, and an alien race's stuff.
400 000 dollars is spent on CGI in SG1/Atlantis. SGU has + 1 000 000 dollars. this means that they can DOUBLE the CGI expenses and then have 600 000 dollars left to spend on more cast, the sets, etc.
