They should have at least updated the cheesy "toilet flushing" special effect of whenever somebody goes through the Stargate.
Im watching it now on pink (Serbia TV station) and I must say this is a crap.
Shallow, no acting, effects too sloppy I mean, who made this series?
This was a stupid attempt of the Studios to make some more money on the success of the film.
OK.
The film was great in 1994 when it came out.
But the series?
Some times you can see how idiotic the lines are in the speech of the characters.
I mean, did they actually pay someone to write that, was that someones relative at the Studio?
This is no SciFi.
The film was the bomb, the series suck.
Having seen the first ten episodes, I must say this show sucks.
What bothers me the most, is that the show was shot in Canada.
I know it's cheaper, but they should have shot it in California, so we could have had scenes in the desert.
That would have been more true to the movie.
The first scene where they are outside in another world is in the mountains, with lots of pinetrees where it looks cold.
That does'nt feel very Egyptian.
What worked so well in the movie was that it felt like you were in the ancient Egypt.
Here it feels like they're running around fighting aliens in a Canadian forrest.
And it's so lame that appaerantly, on other planets, the fall comes as well.
You can see leaves on the ground in the forrests that all look like forrests outside Vancouver.
It just makes the show even more unbelievable and dumb.
And then there is Richard Dean Anderson.
He is no Kurt Russel.
Sure he does a decent job and he tries to copy Russels performance a little bit, but he is just not as cool as Russel.
And not nearly as good an actor as Russel.
And Russells way of playing O Neill, well he was much more cynical.
Andersons O Neil, is way too soft.
I liked it that Russels version just did'nt give a s*** and had no trouble detonating the bomb until the very end of the movie.
Michael Shanks does a really good job as Jackson though taking over from James Spader.
Teal'c is a really annoying character.
He is Jaffa.
Not a Jaffa.
Just Jaffa.
Aaaarrgh!!
A former bodyguard of a pathetic Ra character, seen only in the pilot and in one other episode so far.
Teal'c speaks talks and acts like a robot.
I've seen better acting from Jean Claude Van Damme.
And the fact that Teal'c and the Ra character and the people they saved in the movie, can speak English all of a sudden is also incredibly dumb.
What made the aliens so scary in the movie was that they spoke an ancient language and were real monsters.
As for the special effects, they are really good in the pilot.
But the very rare effects in the actual show are badly done and looks cheap.
Especially a planet they visit with crystals.
It's so obvious they walk around on a soundstage with a badly made painting in the background.
It's an insult to us viewers that they made it look so cheap.
Especially when they could have made it in front of a bluescreen with cgi backgrounds.
The X-files had better effects when they aired their first episodes in 1993.
That was 4 years before SG-1 started.
And they did'nt have the apparent two million dollar budget per episode, that SG-1 supposedly had.
They must have spend all the money on catering.
Because I don't see it on the screen.
Incredibly boring and pointless show, that could have been great if they had shot the show in Hollywood with a bigger budget and better writers and better characters.
1 How is it that everyone can understand each other perfectly without devices like universal translators or translator microbes?
Did the creators of this show realize that people who were taken from different parts of the earth, in different time frames (Attilla the Hun wasn't a contemporary of preliterate Hellenic cultures, nor were the Vikings contemporary to the Pyramid builders) speak different languages and can never develop a language so similar to modern day English(except for the inflections they "do not" use), which has been influenced by Latin, ancient Greek, Danish and French?
2 Cultural differences can't be overcome so easily, trust has to be won, yet everywhere the team arrives they are welcomed without any suspicion and start ordering people around like they are their appointed leaders.
Of course real fans would comment that they are perceived as gods.
The people they meet should be shocked by their technology and accuse them of witchcraft and the like.
3 Historical background: none.
Visually it might vaguely remind you of Greek or Viking culture, but anyone can dress in a bunch of tablecloths or run to a local costume rental for a plastic helmet with horns and claim to look the part.
A small-town theater group probably has better props.
4 Boring!
Another lame Canuck production, which inexplicably ran for ten long years.
As a kids show it could make the grade, but anyone who has a little knowledge about human behavior and language couldn't bear to even watch the first twelve episodes of season 1, like I just did.
I very much wanted to believe I had found a decent sci-fi show, otherwise I would shut it of and cleansed my computer of this refuge after the first five minutes!
The episodic version of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers plays out at a deathly slow pace, following Johnny Rico leaving his parents, the (not very attractive) girl he lusts for, and joining the mobile infantry.
The aliens in the show are nothing like the barbaric bugs from the film, instead being squid-like monsters that shoot lasers out of their mouths.
Throughout watching this version, I was continually amazed at just how fruity they've managed to make the whole thing.
The show is concerned mostly with the relationships between the recruits, and the aching, prolonged gazes they give each other through their battle armour visors, with 80s synth pop sometimes arriving during the sparse battle sequences which at last turning up in the final few episodes.
In terms of construction, it owes a debt to Top Gun, sharing much in terms of pacing and content (and all that implies).
You'd better choose Paul Verhoeven's even if you have watched it.
The plot of this terrible film is so convoluted I've put the spoiler warning up because I'm unsure if I'm giving anything away.
The audience first sees some man in Jack the Ripper garb murder an old man in an alley a hundred years ago.
Then we're up to modern day and a young Australian couple is looking for a house.
We're given an unbelievably long tour of this house and the husband sees a figure in an old mirror.
Some 105 year old woman lived there.
There are also large iron panels covering a wall in the den.
An old fashioned straight-razor falls out when they're renovating and the husband keeps it.
I guess he becomes possessed by the razor because he starts having weird dreams.
Oh yeah, the couple is unable to have a baby because the husband is firing blanks.
Some mold seems to be climbing up the wall after the couple removes the iron panels and the mold has the shape of a person.
Late in the story there is a plot about a large cache of money & the husband murders the body guard & a co-worker and steals the money.
His wife is suddenly pregnant.
What the hell is going on??
Who knows??
NOTHING is explained.
Was the 105 year old woman the child of the serial killer?
The baby sister?
WHY were iron panels put on the wall?
How would that keep the serial killer contained in the cellar?
Was he locked down there by his family & starved to death or just concealed?
WHO is Mr. Hobbs and why is he so desperate to get the iron panels??
He's never seen again.
WHY was the serial killer killing people?
We only see the one old man murdered.
Was there a pattern or motive or something??
WHY does the wife suddenly become pregnant?
Is it the demon spawn of the serial killer?
Has he managed to infiltrate the husband's semen?
And why, if the husband was able to subdue and murder a huge, burly security guard, is he unable to overpower his wife?
And just how powerful is the voltage system in Australia that it would knock him across the room simply cutting a light wire?
