The first Stargate TV series outlived each of the Star Trek shows which says a lot.

Hi friend. we seem to be from the same generation.

Where can i watch it?

Same here. Just finished watching it and came here haha. And I agree it doesn't look old, compared to newer flick such as John Carter.

Yup it holds up really well

@@iganpparamarta8813 John Carter is great! One of my favorite movies of all time.

@@bsvenss2 I love it too. I still don't get it why it bombed at the box office

Even though the stargate sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey is my favourite, it was good to see how newer films like this could make the effects work.

After all these years, there's still enough for sci-fi fans to enjoy and appreciate about it. Happy 30th to Stargate (1994-2024).

James actually recommended Michael for the role in SG1.

tbh, i don't think kurt would've done a better job =P

Michael Shanks?

@@cherylebbs2079 yes

@@tilasole3252 thanks! He was in Smallville and Saving Hope.

That must be the O'neil with ONE "L" - no sense of humor.

Obviously you haven’t seen Top Gun: Maverick.

@@Glitcher2000 It used to be the rule. Now it is the exception.

This movie is overrated trash. Looks like every other 90s sci-fi action flick. Plot is incomprehensible, cheesy acting and implausible on so many levels.

@@VideoAmericanStyle fiction doesn't have to make sense as long as there is entertainment value. I'm sorry the movies that came before wokeness did not scream "the message" with every line of dialogue or every second of every scene like they do now. Back then, movies were about trivial things like storytelling and entertainment. Crazy, I know.

Obviously haven’t seen the Revenant

Imagine the scene where you see the effects of going through the Stargate was in 3D

I didn't like Universe as much. The other two though.

If only we could one day soon have real Stargate technology.

its not an idea. it exist. abraham had merited traveling from one place to the next via portals. they can be found on the planet if the conditions are as hashem wishes and the location might be important as well

even worse: star maps

@@nehorlavazapalka ikr, how did that positioning system work?!

@@nehorlavazapalka I wondered that too when I first saw this movie as a kid, but now as an adult the starmap kind of makes sense. The stargates connected to other stargates through a network, so it is essentially like the internet with each gate being a server. I suppose they traced the signal to the other gate and got coordinates on its location the same way you can get a rough location on a computer just from its IP address.

@@netflixandchinchilla uh, that's not how it works. IP addresses don't have some sort of magical mapping to geographic location. We only know the location of a given IP address because our ISPs (who assign us those addresses) keep track of our address and so on. However, in the movie the sequences _do_ map to locations because each symbol corresponds to a constellation and with six constellations you can pinpoint a smaller area of space. So you're right that the star maps would've been useful but not because of some analogy to our internet.

...or which side was the front side, and right side up and that the wormhole is one way.

I think it was the moons they were thrilled by

Nope. All along they were people from ancient Earth stolen away by Ra. So they built something based off the original Pyramid of Egypt. and still carried the same language.

The pyramids WERE built by humans & not aliens. That was never in dispute in movies like this. Or even by the likes of Eric Von Daiken - who first theorised that the 'Gods' from ancient mythology were extraterrestrials that visited our most ancient ancestors & gave them the 'knowledge' to build a Civilisation, while they worshiped the aliens as God's, that inspired the original myths from so many cultures. Sci Fi franchises like Stargate & Battlestar Galactica are based on Von Daiken's narrative of his theories from his books like; 'Chariots of the Gods'. In real life they've even proven the Pyramids at Giza, as well as the more ancient 'step' pyramid at 'The City of the Dead' were built by humans. And discovery of the techniques used to build them place the build time at much shorter that the '500 years' (give or take' I was taught at school. But those stone blocks, it's been found, were 'fitted' together with highly advanced mathematical formula that would give some of the most powerful modern mainframe computers a serious challenge! So while there's no disputing that the pyramids *were* built by humans - specifically the slaves that were doing the manpower - I don't think its something to be 'weaponised' by many in the scientific community to dismiss Von Daiken as a 'crackpot' & banish him to society's 'outer fringes' as they have. Because while the pyramids were built, maybe even designed by humans, *Where did they get the knowledge of such advanced mathematical formula that was used so well to build the pyramids?!* 🤔 The implication in the movie, of that pyramid being built by human slaves, abducted by Ra (Egyptian Sun God in real life Ancient Egyptian Mythology) - just as Von Daiken implies with the real Pyramids of Egypt or South America is that those humans obtained the 'knowledge' (mathematics etc) from 'somewhere / someone else'... 👆

@@xXx8021>there is no disputing that the pyramids were built by humans. Poor you, its literally right in front of your face being shown by hollywood, we still cant understand how they were built yet you are adamant that us puny humans built them, when hundreds of hieroglyphic writings showcase the descent of extraterrestrials helping and eventually taking control of humanity. You think hollywood just makes movies for fun? 😂😂

@@xXx8021love how you are adamant that humans built them but still unable to explain how. You think hollywood does these movies for your entertainment? 😂

What does this have to do with Dune?

@@kimiantumblod7654 coz it's in the desert, the ship attack, alien pyramid ship. It has that Dune 1984 movie feel.

@@kimiantumblod7654 back then it was just 1984 Dune movie. As reference. Or maybe a new hope

@@jmtstan Oh.. all right, thanks for answering.

it would seems like a big down fall but if you had patience then in time you'd appreciate the TV series true their quality kinda sucks but its a fun journey in its self or just skip the lame episodes 🙄

You are being bred out because of niave people like you social engineering has worked on you

Yeah, go work with russians and africans. Best of luck achieving all that greatness.

@@hr1100 yeah I'm fully aware of the issues in the human society as a whole.. Hence my use of the word "IF". My hope is not dead but its having a rough go of it.

You can work with us just fine, assuming you get rid of people like the imbecile above and your bigoted warmongering leaders.

BINE! BINEEE! 🙏😍🤩😉😁🎩

Can you trust the modern Hollywood to do it justice?

Yess

I have a little correction for you. In the Stargate Universe (Movies + TV Series), the first (modern) Tau'ri walking through the Stargate was Ernest Littlefield, Catherine Langford's love (TV SG1 S1 E11). If you only referring to the Movie, than it was Jack O'Neil (one L) and not Jack O'Neil (two L) from the TV Serie. That are two different characters. The first one is more serious and the second one much lighter as a person. Therefore the running gag "Captain Jack O'Neill with two L's" in SG1

@@marior.5796 Good points all round. Thanks for the info! I forgot about that running gag completely haha

wasnt that the remotes duty in the series to check for atmoshere analisys?

Good point.

Wut?

@@firstman9273 French Stewart played an alien called Harry on a show called 3rd rock from the Sun and whenever the aliens would get a message from their homeworld, he would go "Incoming message from the big giant head."

The 'big head' ? I think you mean The Big Giant Head.

There's a full extended version on KZfaq as of a couple of months ago. Free

@@keithbishop3550 thank you!

Because he is O´Neill with two 'L's :D

Во франшизе Звёздные Врата, в полнометражном фильме Звёздные Врата (StarGate) (1994), и в сериале Звёздные Врата (StarGate-1) (1997-2007), этот полковник Джек О'Нил - это один и тот же персонаж, но просто так вышло, что полковника Джека О'Нила сыграли два разных актёра, каст и рекаст: Курт Рассел и Ричард Дин Андерсон 😃

The whole premise is ridiculous. Spader and Russell admitted they only did the film for the money; both hated the script and idea.

I don't think they even know they needed a 7th symbol in the first place. And even if they did know, the power output requirement to dial the gate looked painfully high. Brute forcing to get a good dial (again, only if they knew 7 was needed in the first place) could be too painful for the higher ups to justify it.

...you're a Democrat voter, aren't you?

It was directed and produced by some of the best sci fi production people in the business, Amanda Tapping directed a number of episodes, Peter De louise and Jonathon Frakes. In terms of budget each episode cost around 2 million each from 1997 onwards, inflation adjusted for today each episode would be around 3.5million but tech is better and cheaper so effects would be similar to The Expanse I would think. As a niche product with a huge fanbase I don't feel that's unreasonable, but given todays environment for TV viewing I think cable execs would balk at paying that unless they could tie in a Syndication deal early to offset the cost and again not sure that's going to happen so quickly unless its a smash hit from day on. Even then it doesn't guarantee longevity (just look at Netflix and Amazon cancelling some very good, very popular shows). I think the best thing to do, would be restart the franchise with a small budget movie, pull in some of the original cast and mix in some new blood, test the water and see if it does well and then push for a limited run series maybe 10-12 episodes for the first season and see how it does then.

Sg-2

The original plan for the sequel was essentially they would travel to another world with a Mayan theme, so essentially the show continued the new world themes.

It's not entirely clear but are you aware that this movie was created by Roland Emmerich?

It's a landing pad for an alien spaceship.
