    most fans will of course buy the dvd, that being said leaked version of this film a month before its release it perfect quality odd how someone got there hands on it. it may have an adversed effect on later films.

    Excellent. Ya ya, dvd later.

    I watched it this morning,very very good much better then AOT,big spoilers in my tags so don't look if you don't want to know.
    Also it was broadcast in America so it didn't get "leaked"
    Oh theres also swearing in it which is great and very funny too.
    I thought the time travel would have made this movie terrible but they pulled it off really well,especially with killing nearly every single character off only person they didn't kill was Cameron,great to see RDH and Don S Davis(RIP) back in it too and they've made sure to leave an opening for a goa'uld return with another possible clone of Bal,only part that I think let it down was at the end it felt rushed,with teal'c as bals first prime and then in less then 5 mins sides with sg1,could've made that a little longer but overall it was fantastic,especially the scene were dozens of motherships enter earths orbit and open fire,and the submarine at the start was a nice touch breaking through the ice.
    All the info I put is all over the place so much happened its hard to remember it all!

  • Registered Users Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    Loved it. emot-awesome.gif

    I'll write some proper thoughts tomorrow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,624 ✭✭✭Thor


    just watched it there.

    i was very pleased with this film. although it felt like some of the parts where definetly rushed they still pulled them off.
    there where some very good parts that i liked in this film. the flying of the f16's and the gliders chasing them was pretty cool. the sub was deadly in the film aswell. it was great that every charactor was killed off except cameron.(maybe they will take some thaughts from futurama and make cameron his own grandfather lol). all and all i thaught it was a very good film and i hope they keep making new ones which would be kick ass.

    well
    have to be up at 7 in the morning, but I think it was worth staying up to watch. and i haven't been able to say that about stargate in a long, long time.

    great stuff

    Heh, I wouldn't get the chance until September to see it, since I'm off for a two month trek later this month.

    Regardless, when I get back, the first thing I am going to do is buy it. Well okay, second after getting an Irish brekkie in me.. heck I might even go and make it my first blu-ray to get.

    Damn, I have the R1 DVD preordered and don't know if I should just give in and download and watch it now or wait.

    Do it. I just finished watching it. It's brilliant. Now off to bed, I have to be up in 4 hours. :( I blame you thor. If you didn't post this thread I'd be in bed now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,624 ✭✭✭Thor


    one other think i forgot
    how cool it was when carter said that thing about the moon base. that should be kick ass. that must mean there are going to do much more for stargate sg1.


  • Registered Users Posts: 782 ✭✭✭Cunning Alias


    Just finished watching it. Surprisingly good.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    Lets put some thoughts down.
    That was pretty awesome. SG1 really going back to its roots.

    I've always been a fan of alternate universes / timelines so that was a big plus for me.

    Having the gou'ld playing a central role is really what a great SG1 film needs, the last one struggled with the bad guys involved.

    So many things happened in the movie, the start was suitably epic. The extraction ceremony and then straight into the scene on the Achilles. Staff weapon blasts all over the place, classic stargate. The timeline shifts, Jack dies and SG1 are stuck with new identities for a year. I thought this bit was well paced with Jackson ringing himself and Mitchell going back to his home. The fleet of ships entering orbit and T'ealc as first prime was a great part of the movie. Seeing Apophis losing the head was also cool. I was sad to see Don S. Davis on screen for the last time. He was a big part of making stargate great to watch. The scene with the jets being chased by gliders was also very good. I had a feeling they'd get some help from the Russians. Another good fight scene in the time machine room. And the ending was quite easy for Mitchell to defeat some jaffa & ba'al with thompsons I think.

    This had everything I want from a stargate movie and tied in a lot of little details from the show, like the solar flares to go back in time. And it also had classic moments like Walter at the start saying he finally got a parking place, made me smile.

    Excellent.

    *scrolls past everyones posts!*

    I cant wait to see this, the final appearance for General Hammond :'( has become a point of interest now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 768 ✭✭✭Ian Beale


    Something just crossed my mind though after watching it the 2nd time and it opens up a lot of questions putting it in spoiler tags so anyone that hasn't seen it yet don't look, if you have seen it read below.
    With the gate activated on the ship and cameron still alive at the end how come the timeline reverted back to normal?With baals body and the symbiotes in the jaffa in the cargohold of the ship wouldn't the military have conducted tests on them?So they would have known about the jaffa race before the incident in the first episode where they go back to abydos.Stupid time travel complexes!!

    What do you guys think?

    My thinking on that was that Mitchell got rid of all the evidence, just throw them off the boat.

    What about the rest of the crew though and the big hole in the side of the ship :confused:

    also the fact that the big whole in box that was holding the stargate. cameron could have told his grandfather about it an told him to make sure there was no evidence of it being used. what im wondering is where the gate was when he dialed in in 1929 and how he managed to survive in africa for 10 years before the gate was brought to america.

    Loved the movie, great story, great to see Don S on screen for the last time in Stargate.
    We also know that in 1945 Ernest Littlefield used the gate. so they must have known it was for travail of sometype. What I really wanna know now is what happened to Mitchell that set everything right? Did he just disappear or did he live out a life? I also enjoyed the very opening, getting to see all the SGC personal

    There was time to put all of that right. In fact in the last shot of the photograph you can see the whole in the side of the ship.

    Indeed, good question. I didn't think about where he gated to actually.

    I thought it was very enjoyable, classic sg-1 with goa'uld and guns. I'm delighted there were no ancient weapons or earth ships with asgard technology to save the day.


  • Registered Users Posts: 465 ✭✭bada_bing


    bravo!! what a great movie!! good old classic Stargate!! Great to see all the old familiar faces from the last 10 years!! Will definitely buy this on Blu-ray to add to my collection. my worries about this were unfounded after the crappy AOT!!

    Roll on with the next movie!


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,136 ✭✭✭✭is_that_so


    Yes pretty enjoyable and IMO highlights all that was wrong with the dreadful Ori stuff. Straightforward story,
    with all the holes one would expect from a time-travel, alternate timeline fix
    ,lots of action and all the usual suspects. So much better than AOT. This is the most consistently entertaining SG-1 outing(with a few notable exceptions like 200, Bad Guys or Bounty) since Season 8.

    A few little comments
    Is it my imagination or is RDA turning into that cantankerous old git from Brief Candle(Season 1)? If all he does is bang on about cake then what's the point at all?
    I thought he was a parody of himself. IMO he is ageing very quickly and I found his part in it extremely disappointing. In fact I can't see any real reason for him being there other than shoehorning him into the Arctic rescue mission.

    Vala was always a lousy character and ended up here as an even worse cardboard cutout than the rest of the baddies.

    I was also struck by how little characterisation was given to Apophis, Cronos and the gang considering how much was invested in building the characters in the series. Even though this was all about Baal I'd have expected more.

    While this wasn't quite one of those last 5 minutes wrap-ups that SG-1 has specialised in, I reckon a little more time could have been spent on plot development around Teal'c/SG-1 and the problem in hand rather than long shots of them wandering around Northern Canada.

    And finally a fond farewell to Don S Davis. Good to see him do his thing one last time.

    Watched it last night.... Ba'al is one of the best villains in Stargate, and Cliff Simon really looked like he was really enjoying the role (probably his last spin as Ba'al)

    What kind of wuss was Jack O'Neill for
    dying from a shoulder stab wound??
    :)

    Thoroughly enjoyable, and not an Ori in sight.

    Loved the (kinda fake looking) gory deaths.

    Classic Stargate.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,051 ✭✭✭BKtje


    Absolutely loved it, great movie though as has been said it was a little rushed.

    Only thing that irked me was
    Ease the thompsons cut through the Jaffa armour, i seriously doubt they were loaded with armour piercing ammo :p


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 17,993 Mod ✭✭✭✭ixoy


    Excellent stuff - really enjoyed it. If this is the last we ever have of SG-1 then it's a damn good way to go out. It actually felt much more like a movie than "Ark of Truth" - that movie suffered from feeling like two plots mashed together in the regular run. This one was much better paced and felt more epic as a result - sure the ending was a small bit rushed, but that in itself is something the show's always done.
    Killing everyone in an alternate timeline is something I always perversely enjoy and this was done with the noblest sacrifices for everyone. I enjoyed how Ba'al made sure not to make any of the same mistakes as before and the earth without the influence of the gate.

    The movie length running time gave us time to breath and show the characters going home, adjusting to their new lives, etc. Jackson ringing Jackson was a nice touch.

    Liked also seeing loads of the other Goa'uld System Lords hanging around - Niirti, Yu, Chronos, Apophis (alas not enough there). If I'm picky I'd like to know why Hathor isn't wandering around the earth as her discovery was unrelated to the Gate program as such, or how Seth's cult is doing as it would surely have grown.

    Cliff Simon did a great turn as Ba'al - it seems to be a role he's always had fun with. RDA was good fun to see, although it would have been nicer to see him have a more integral function in the plot. From the regular cast, Michael Shanks put in the best performance. And of course, it was nice to see Don S. Davis one last time on screen. No offence to the poor souls who died in the ice cap during filming and to whom this cut was dedicated, but I'd like to see Don S. Davis up there in the closing credits.

    If they can maintain this calibre of quality, I'd be very happy to see more DVD movies. And yes, I know lots of folks have seen this already now, but please buy the DVD releases if you want more - I know I certainly will be.

    That was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than Arc Of Truth.

    Overall I liked it, Ba'll was brilliant, Loved the way he played Teal'c with the whole free Jafaa thing,

    really think they missed a trick with Mitchell being his own grandfather, course they already intimated that O'Neill was his Da :D so weird.

    would have liked to have seen more of the one yer in between bit maybe the 2 Daniels actualy meeting.

    loved the massive amount of Heroic yet pointless Deaths

    overall this has restored my faith in the franchise, I will deffo purchase the DVD when its eventualy released over here
