AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

monihawk We have owned the series for years & I believe we've watched it through 4 times now. It's one of our favorites. The characters/actors just blended so well together in screen. I can't say enough about it. If you haven't seen this yet, you will not be disappointed!!

nerminmer If I could give zero star I would without hesitation. Seriously who watches this kind of stuff ? No budget , terrible production quality (because of low budget probably ) , no character development , existing characters are ridiculous one dimensional stereotypes of space heroes or cut out of military clichés known since existence of television with PG rating. Acting is incredibly stilted and banal as well. Most plots or story arcs were ripped from Star Trek franchise and they follow same format and resolution with simplified versions ! Probably to pull audience of that franchise. The words of "predictable" and "formulatic" must have been conceived to describe Stargate SG-1. From technobabble to false god aliens who could not hit a barn door with ray weapons to standart stand alone episodes from timetravel to parallel universes to body swap just to fill airtime. And stupid humor oh boy that awful humor. When Colonel O'Neill or his other sidekicks make a lame joke , slapstick remark or find themselves a hilarious situation I half expect a laughing track from background. At some point series became a self aware parody a mocking of sci-fi genre. Do not expect any quality drama , engaging story (essentially US Air Force always wins and saves Earth) or characterization from this one. This series is just for hopeless homebound sci-fi geeks.

andy441970 This review is about Stargate SG1 and not the related / following series.After having watched all 10 seasons I believe there are some major flaws around some admittedly very good basic ideas. Here are some serious objectionable points in no particular order.I liked watching the four main characters on successive missions. However you cannot have a physicist and an archaeologist routinely eliminating enemy combat teams, down to the last episode of the last season. Please.The Goa'uld are a species of immense knowledge and history spanning many millenia of total domination over lesser Earth beings. They possess powers and technology unimaginable to humans of the 21st century. Yet, time and time again, every single SG team, and their dog, can stroll into the Goa'uld starships, and wreck havoc almost unopposed. After a while it becomes comical; instead of being awed by the presence of a Goa'uld on the set, we just want to laugh.Planets are ... planets. It means vast. Yet every time the SG teams visit a planet it seems the whole of the planet is a tiny village situated a walking distance from the Stargate and that's about it. You'd expect the exploration of a planet to take years, decades even, yet the Stargate teams manage to report on a planet and the people that might live on it, after a 10 minute visit.The language, as mentioned by almost every viewer. With a main plot based mainly on ancient Egyptian history, myths and deities, it is incredible that the peoples of every single distant planet on the galaxy speak English.The Asgard, who possess knowledge and technology surpassing that of the Goa'uld, are becoming extinct due to the silliest reasons the writers could come up with, as if their unimaginable technology and knowledge cannot solve the most basic biochemistry problems... And again , completely unnecessary, whether the Asgard become extinct, or not, makes absolutely no difference to the plot, so why add such a weak sideline to the story?I just could not stomach O'Neill's replacement in the last two seasons. He adds nothing to the team in terms of dynamics and the team would be better served with a new member who is not trying desperately to copy O'Neill but rather introduce a completely new personality and/or field of expertise.And Vala. They show so much of her all the time and dedicate so much screen time to her, it is not a sci-fi series anymore but has become a cheap soap opera.No cohesion to the story. The Goa'uld baddies come and go as they please. Sometimes they are dead, then not, they can appear at any episode, regardless if they were dead in the previous one, just to fill in the story lines. Many episodes are side stories of no consequence and with the most casual, if any, links to the main story line. The Asgard, Tok'ra, Ancients, Ori, Goa'uld : any and all may appear or not at any episode at will.

dlbach1 In my opinion, Stargate SG1 began to "jump the shark" in season six with all the ascended stuff. Even the loss of a popular character and the incorporation of the more religious spin didn't stop TPTB from trudging on.I really enjoyed the stories and characters in the first five seasons. Fighting the Goa'uld and helping with the Jaffa rebellion gave many great story lines and situations in which it seemed SG-1 would not survive.After the mostly unwatchable season six, they regained Dr. Jackson and continued forward. Season Seven brought more of the intertwined character relationships that became the cement in the first five seasons.Season eight I saw TPTB slip back onto that jet-ski and prepare, once again, to jump the ever present shark. The only thing in season eight that kept me glued was Jack O'Neill and his sense of humor. O'Neill's jocular machinations, especially with regard to his settling in as commander of the SGC, continued to offset the staggering plots.Beginning in season nine, it appeared that TPTB decided to throw everything into the pot and see how it cooked up. It was the worst dish served at any temperature.The main enemy from the first five seasons (the Goa'uld) were back with a foothold on Earth in the form of Ba'al taking the head seat in The Trust (new/old enemy). We were also introduced to the Ori, more false gods that Dr. Jackson inadvertently introduced to the galaxy. We also met the Lucian Alliance (new enemy) who decided to fill the gap the downfall of the system lords left behind.With three enemies to battle and a pointless fifth person added to the lineup, there were just too many ingredients to provide with a good taste. Former allies who had a more major role in many episodes either disappeared altogether or were diminished to walk-on roles at best.Seasons one through eight I recommend, however, don't waste your time on seasons nine and ten, unless all you want to do is ogle Claudia Black (the only reason I have had people tell me they watched SG-1 at all).
