well that movie sucked
Yes it did suck, and that's why I never gave the TV show a chance. My friend tells me the show is good, but I just can't get the bad taste of that Stargate film out of my mouth.
>>219401588i skipped the movie until i finished sg1 and i'm very glad, the series was pretty good
I was in your thread the other day when you were asking if it's worth a watch and I said yes and posted a metal song about the film. Did you listen to it?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB758YPt55o
more like stargay
>>219401722that was a different anon
The show (sg-1) has all the elements of being good sci-fi but it feels like it's missing some core component. The episodes will raise an interesting dilemma and then the solution is typically "let's shoot our way out of it" and then everything wraps up in the last minute without further thought on whether they handled the dilemma correctly or not.
>>219401699Aside from it being a bad film on all other measures, I resent it for promoting the "ancient aliens built the pyramids" theory. You can say it's just an entertainment, just a bit of fun, but there are people who really believe that theory, and this film is supporting their delusions.
>>219401897you sound like a fucking babythat's like resenting Bugonia for the flat earth stuff. it's a fucking movie, you dip. with that line of thinking, you could justify resenting any film with unsavory things in them, no matter how mild the infraction. which at the end of the day is the same line of thinking that fat bitch had who was arguing with Tarantino about movie violence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EEpTrPb0-c
>>219401897good lord you are a massive faggot
I wanted to fuck Ra
ra was such a shit tier goa'uld
>>219402233how did the stargates work when he made the one on dakara dial out to every single gate at the same timeif you went through it would a copy of you have been sent to every gate
>>219402068The difference is that Tarantino credits his audience with the intelligence to divide fact from fiction. I don't think Stargate does. I think it cynically targets an audience of dummies who really believe the pyramids were built by aliens. And in so doing, it digs them deeper into their pit of ignorance.
>>219402276You probably just stop existing. Your atoms scattered across the entire gate network.
>>219402333The word "projecting" gets thrown around these parts quite frequently, but dude, that's is some serious projecting your doing there. What can you possibly base your ramblings on aside from your own personal distaste Ancient Aliensfags? Stargate is targeting sci-fi nerds, not specifically people who think aliens literally built the pyramids. I'm sure there's some crossover, but to suggest they were actively trying to appeal to that niche fringe demographic with capitalistic malice? Get the fuck out of here with that shit
>>219402485Okay, you're right. Thanks for bringing your clear eyed, common-sensical view to the table. Of course the people who wrote Stargate were not thinking of the Ancient Aliens community. Not ever and not in the slightest. This film was in no way, shape or form aimed at that particular audience. Only a madman could think so. I mean yeah, it's about ancient aliens building the pyramids, but it couldn't possibly be aimed at THAT crowd.
>>219402671take your meds
>>219402233pre-retcon Ra wasn't a Goa'uld at all
>>219402671different anon here: you gotta realize that roland emmerich consistently grabs popular pseudo-science narratives to spin his movies around. were there people in 2004 who thought the world would enter a new ice age very soon? probably a few, but that's not who "the day after tomorrow is for". are there idiots who believe graham hancock? sure, but that's not specifically who "10,000 BC" is for. and so on.
>>219403003He also did "Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare, the Earl of Oxford did"
i had no idea people hated this movie ive loved it for years
>>219403003He gets it done while others simply talk about the concept
>>219403131Stargate is The Ninth Gate of sci-fi
>>219402671>>219403003>Okay, you're right. Thanks for bringing your clear eyed, common-sensical view to the table. Of course the people who wrote Godzilla were not thinking of the atom bombs resurrect giant prehistoric lizards community. Not ever and not in the slightest.

I mean yeah, it's about atom bombs resurrecting giant prehistoric lizards, but it couldn't possibly be aimed at THAT crowd.
>>219401722The Forever of Y make the ancients in stargate look well adjusted.
>>219402233>>219402812Goold?
>>219401500The movie sucks, the show is amazing. This is the conventional wisdom, and it is right.
>>219403131most of /tv/ loves Stargate including the based original kino
>>219402671The lore is that It was supposed to be a Nikopol movie but they changed it into "The Man Who Would be King/Indian Jones in Space". Erich von Däniken was definitely part of the series inspiration but Ancient Aliens have been a part of adventure stories since like forever.
>>219404090Stargate is just a ripoff of Omar Zuhdi's "Egyptscape" script that the studio had at the time (he sued them and they settled). other than the gods using a flying pyramid, the story has nothing in common with the Bilal comics.
>>219401500>James Spader with hairIt looks weird
>>219401500you're gay and your opinion is too
>>219404299James Spader was a pretty good actor, but I don't think he ever found the right role in his time. If he had been 15 years younger, I think he would have made a good Bateman in American Psycho.
>>219402945I still find it funny how this guy hated the movie so much that when he finished his last scene he stripped naked and walked off set.
*supreme* commander
>>219402945Awkward boner
I unironically like the movie way more than SG1
>>219401897There's far worse delusions to subscribe to.
>>219401500Yeah it's pretty bad. That's roland emmerich for ya.>>219401588Roland says on the film commentary for the film they had nothing to do with the TV show. So it might be really different.>>219403131Coz you live in a bubble of atrocious taste.
Better than the show
>>219401500A hundred times better than the dumb tv show. Zoomers can't appreciate proper, honest B kino
>>219401500It does and it blows my mind that it could have spawned all those television series.>>219401588It is actually, genuinely good somehow. I mean it.
>>219401500>>219403131I love it. The shows are great but the movie is on another level in terms or production values and therefore immersion. The special effects, the Jaffa suits, the tribesmen not speaking English,...
>>219408383Why does he turn into an Asgard?
Tok'ra tits
Zesty
>>219406661>>219406188>>219408213Only opinions in this shit thread that matter.
>>219403610based gooldposter
>>219402671I Was eight years old when I saw the movie with my parents it was generally one of the best movies i've ever seen , and I would say , generally , it stands up even todayIt didn't make me think that the pyramids were actually built by aliens, though.I mean , maybe they were , maybe they weren'tBut you sound deeply unhappy, it's just an action movie that is science fiction.And the t v show is not really the same , it's in the same universe , I guess , but it's more like individual stories , sometimes moral stories sometimes just action
>>219412075They really tried to make it into a Star Wars/Trek like franchise. Toys, sequel novels (pre-show) etc... but it just lacks the iconography of those franchises to really merchandise and expand. I do enjoy the first movie but never really got into the shows.
>>219412075>gigachad DanielAlways makes me kek
>>219401897You sound like a fedora wearing teenager.
>>219408982they were the real ghouls all along
>>219401500Good or bad is up for debate but it's undoubtedly one of the best Isekai movies of all time, most Isekai movies fail harder.This movie undoubtedly inspired Atlantis from Disney down to the protagonist's character design.And Crichton released Timeline five years after Stargate which undoubtedly tried to capture the same sort of romping adventure feeling. And the Timeline movie was even worse, unfortunately because the book was pure kino.I would actually rank Stargate close to The Mummy and Jurassic Park as other epic fantasy/scifi movies, probably put it slightly above The Fifth Element.My personal problem with Stargate though is that the first half is a 20/10 movie in concept and execution, while the latter half kind descends into 6/10 mindless military action Hollywood quip slop, which is kinda disappointing.But yea I think that still gives it an average of 8 or 9 out of 10.
Great movie until about the halfway mark, then it takes a complete nosedive into Sucksville. What started as a mysterious sci-fi adventure movie where you're not sure what they will find or what will happen, turns into some dogshit B movie-tier generic "we gotta save the poor people from le ebil overlords" crap. And the aliens aren't even aliens they are just people... and their world is just ancient Egypt... wow very exciting. Very cool. And come on, the fucking MC just learns their language in like 5 minutes? Or was it the love interest that learns English. I don't fucking remember. It's just shlock.
Movie should have ended here, or be rewritten past this point.
>>219404202But they mentioned nikopol on the Blu-ray special features
>>219401588TV-show is kino.
>>219403643pretty much
>>219401897humans built the pyramids, for our biological ancestors who genetically engineered us.>inb4 prometheusbob lazar said said this way back in the early 90s, and the guy from the raelian movement said it in like the 70s
>>219414118Movie should have ended with deporting all jeets through the stargate
>>219401722One of the most kino albums of all time.
the build up to the gate turning on was great in the movie, and Ra steals every scene he is in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEAktm0iH1Y
>>219402233is that jeremy irons
>>219419834That's Jeremy Irons if he was born in South Africa.
>>219401588The show fucking rules but iirc there are a lot of bad episodes near the beginning so you probably don't have the patience since you're already skeptical. It kicks ass though.
>>219402945What happened to this guy? I thought he did a really good acting job in this movie.
>>219420368Looked him up on IMDB, and he only has 4 credits to his name. Three things from the 90's, and then one last stint as a nazi in 2009.
>>219401500Nah it was alright
Starting to think atlantis is better than SG1 on average
>>219421761This thoughbeit
>>219401588SG-1 is a legitimately great mid- to low-budget 90s sci-fi show. There are clear low water marks, but there also aren't a billion decent 90s/early 00s sci-fi shows, so as it were beggars couldn't be choosers. That said, it really is mostly good and top 5 of its genre at the time, and holds up well enough. Great cast.
>>219401500no it didnt
>>219401865Stargate isn't Star Trek. It's a military action procedural that involves Scifi elements and not a trip to explore strange new worlds yada yada
>>219411365>maybe they were
>>219414118>the Moons are just the regular moon copypasted 3 timeslmao
>>219401500finally someone says it.they get to the planet and the pacing just crawls to a halt. the entire discovery after travelling across the galaxy are a bunch of sandmonkeys, and the goold that show up does jack shit
>>219402276it most likely would have sent you to a random one. the gates were able to distinguish between living things and energy and matter and so on.however, that software was in the dhd so, if earths computer had dialed it up? who knows
One of the best musical motifs in cinema though.Lawrence of Arabia vibes.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnWUFyRHwTQ
>>219428709First time I watched SG-1, the way it just used variations of the original theme for basically the entire soundtrack in the first season ran the risk of ruining the motif for me.
>>219401500I think it's great. Daniel actually has to be a linguist because the aliens don't just randomly speak English for no reason, and the alien being a classic gray is so much cooler than the shit slugs from the TV show. I do like SG-1 and Atlantis even more, but they both let the movie down.
"Let's go through the Stargate! It's a leap into the interdimensional beyond, and anything could happen. The possibilities are endless!">it's always a mundane and familiar scene from our own world. Probably just some forest in California, shooting the episode in their own back yard.
>>219401500The shows are the good part. The movie is literally a stolen plot from a pajeet high school teacher. They settled for 50k since copyright law changed just in time to save their ass.
>>219431406Its planet Canada
>>219431567I'd rather have planet Canada then 8 episodes every 2.5 years. Stargate pumped out 22 episodes per year and it was fucking awesome.
>>219402945ill be honest he gave me epstein vibes
>>219401500Based Richard Kind kino.
