I Grew up on Stargate with its witty humour and epic action. It is the best sci-fi franchise in all of my tv viewings. I only wish they completed the Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe franchise'. Definitely one to watch from begining to end!
Re-watched this for the first time. Really enjoyed it more than my initial viewing. Felt really cinematic and those jet scenes were amazing! Sad that there were never any other movies made but I've finally completed my SG-1 rewatch (started 12 years ago!) and this was a fitting closing.
I happened to watch Children of the Gods (final cut) and this back to back, and you can tell just how far the show has progressed since its modest beginning. They've figured out how to make the most out of the low budget, raised production value and removed much of the fluff and cheapness to focus on their strongest assets, while returning to the franchise's thematic roots of parasitic god figures (leaving the "Ori" bullshit behind) in this installment. The result is a surprisingly thrilling and gritty watch that holds up as a standalone movie and is probably the best franchise release since the 1994 title.
You gotta admire Carter’s spunk, it’ll just take me a few minutes to figure out the Time Machine :laughing:
Never understood why ppl liked it so much. The Ark of Truth was amazing and has a lot of rewatchability. This is an embarrassment to the franchise. Alternate Timeline stories suck 90% of the time. The only exception I can think of is the Terran Empire in Star Trek. The Problem is, that as soon as you enter "Alternate" Territory, you know that nothing happening will have a big impact because it happens in well: An Alternate Timeline... - It defeats the purpouse of a franchise connecting several movies/show into one whole.
This feels like much more of a movie than Ark of Truth. I'm sad that this is the last of SG-1.
I see it again and I like it more than when I first saw it years ago
Overall, and enjoyable movie. I felt some of the pacing was a little off, but not overly so. The 90+ minutes really did fly by.

Perhaps the most amusing part of this film is how we have, _once again_, a large (presumably underground) facility suspended in the middle of a deep hole in the rock with _no safety rails_. :joy_cat: ---- Honestly, this movie is great even though one could probably poke some gate-sized holes in parts of the story with a bit of determination. The only thing that could have made it better was more Teal'c, more O'Neill, and/or more [spoiler]Hammond (especially in light of Don S. Davis' passing shortly before release)[/spoiler]. Well, I also would have liked to see [spoiler]the alternate timeline's Stargate Command facility at McMurdo before it was destroyed[/spoiler], but we can't have everything. That would have been a pretty major scenic construction expense for little story benefit. ---- _For fun, I decided to see why Pluto TV's version showed up as 1h43m long, when IMDB and **every** other service (10 at time of writing) has a 1h38m cut. To do so, I put Pluto on a second monitor and muted it, starting both videos as close together as I could._ _In doing so, I found the reason: Ads. While Roku Channel also has ads, Pluto is the only service to include the ads **as part of the runtime**. I've no idea why they do so, but maybe it means the ads are actually encoded into the video stream instead of being served separately. (Most ad-supported streaming services, including Roku's, fetch ads separately, presumably so they're easy to change depending on demographic targeting and/or which advertisers are willing to pay.) What an odd implementation decision…_
