Brilliant and touching

best movie i've ever seen.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) and SG1 Tealc (Christopher Judge), Vala (Claudia Black), Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping), Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), and Cameron Mitchell (Ben Browder) go to witness the last Ba'al clone extracted from his host. Vala disappears and then Teal'c among others. O'Neill is killed and the rest of SG1 escape back through the gate. In 1939, a ship carrying a Stargate gets invaded by Ba'al and his men. When Carter, Jackson and Mitchell re-emerge, they find themselves in that ship frozen in the modern Arctic. It turns out that it's the ship that was suppose to carry the first Stargate from Egypt to America. They are rescued by the alternate O'Neill. The government decides to scatter the three and find the Stargate in Anarctica without them. A year later, the Gouald under Ba'al attacks and the government recalls them for help.It takes awhile to get going. It's the try and true sci-fi premise of time travel. It is done well. It's got good action. It's got the characters fans love. Overall, fans who follow the TV show will love this movie. Everybody else will have problem following it.

After watching the disappointing 'The Ark of Truth', I was very pleased they got back to basics with this movie.Very interesting time travel story. Lots of time travel stories end with the big reset button at the end, it was nice to see some thought put into this one and see the characters have to work to set things right.Fitting end to Stargate SG-1. Great action, some very nice character moments and it was nice to see the "whole" gang represented.The most important line in this movie, that sets this story apart from so many other time-travel movies is from the retired GEN Landry: "But you don't have the right! If you were to succeed, events in the lives of thousands, if not millions of people, would never have happened! (angry) My goodness,people! The arrogance of what you're asking us to help you do is mind-boggling!" Just when you think he'll come in and let SG-1 "fix" everything, he shows up - believe's them and stops them dead in their tracks.Then we see them foil Ball's plan, despite the efforts of the ever devious Quetesh.This movie depicts the very essence of Stargate SG-1.9 out of 10 for me.

I remember seeing the original movie and being impressed. In its day it was a risky mix of genres plus the expected overwhelmed by the unexpected. Later I studied the industry and took this film apart in terms of how the concepts were managed. It worked and I know why. Later, the safe parts were made into a lame TeeVee show following the then already lame Star Trek formula. I did not know what to expect coming to this. The first two minutes are an extraordinary tracking shot that sets context, introduces the heroes and establishes the energy of thing. After that, I might as well have been watching William Shatner. In fact, I believe that they hired someone else to direct those first two minutes while a committee of writers was re- engineering the script.There was an opportunity here to do something clever with time travel paradoxes. What we got was Back to the Future" with spaceships and Arctic ice.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

Some of the SG-1 Team accidentally go back in time and then try to warn Earth that Aliens will soon be invading. Of course, no one believes them.The Stargate TV series has been going on for years brought on by the Stargate movie starring James Spader and others. The series is every bit as good if not better than all the Star Trek TV shows and movies and the Spin-offs. Well, the Stargate series has come to an end mostly because Richard Dean Anderson who lives in California didn't want to keep making the trip to Vancouver where the series is shot. Most cast members have moved on to the Stargate Atlantis TV show. And, Richard Dean Anderson does make short appearances on that show. I mention all this because this Stargate series itself was one Class-Act, the cast was excellent, the stories got better and better, and one of the things I liked best about the series was the humor that Richard Dean Anderson insisted on from the very beginning.Someone not familiar with the TV series will still enjoy this movie and it may even prompt them to watch the DVDs from Season I. I envy those people. They are in for a real treat. Some show story-lines never left Earth, and others had us going thru the Stargate to distant planets where, in many cases, different life styles, ideas, and governments ruled the day. Nothing kinky though. Never. In this movie, we get to see characters that faded out of the series for one reason or another, and, oh, yes, sometimes they were brought back in those TV shows and those were really good times when we saw them again. And, it wasn't always about Aliens going to attack Earth.There is a classic show based on the repeating concept in the movie Ground Hog Day and one can watch that one over and over again. There were others like that too. Like the time the SG-1 Crew was forced to consult in a Hollywood movie Spoof about people fighting aliens. And, the time when an ordinary man had visions of the SG-1 team fighting for Earth and no one believed him, but this did cause concern among Stargate Command and SG-1, of course. And, the one about multiple SG-1 teams getting caught up in a time warp displacement and all trying to get back to their Earth and the way they interacted with each other was pure gold. I could go on and on.In this movie we see Ba'al (Simon) a System War Lord (considered a god) who is about to be rendered as a mere human for his crimes against the Universe, use a trick up his sleeve to change time and because of this some of the SG-1 Team are forced back in time and try to warn Earth about Aliens invading etc. Everything is good, the acting, dialogue, cinematography, the CGI and it was over too soon for me. I miss the TV series. I miss it all. Yes, watching people in a story go back in time and interact with those they knew in another time-line is really fascinating stuff. And, that is what you will see in here. Lucky you. Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: No, well a couple Sh_ _ words were heard.
