I now realize what the previous "Stargate" movie was missing so much, Jack O'Neil! He was the most recognizable character from the series and I feel bad for not even remembering his name! Well, it has been literally years, probably more than a decade since I saw the actual show! This movie involves time travel and it's about as cool as it sounds. What I like is how everything isn't just resolved immediately. We actually get to see a year pass before the characters get everything back together. Okay, it's not a big part of the story, but it's quite nice. It's great to hear Jack's quips again.This movie is done quite realistically. It's not just the standard style of henchman being easy to kill. Well, that was at the end of the movie where they do whatever they want, but that's still fine. It felt more like a movie than a long episode of the TV show. I'm glad to see these characters again which makes me realize the brief fun I did have watching this show a long time ago. We get great music and everyone works quite hard to be relevant to the story. ***

The stargate features prominently in this movie. That's as it should be.As with the first made for TV movie, this one carries a sense of mystery and wonder not seen in seasons 9 or 10 of SG-1.It's 8 rather than 10 because of a few problems. It's easy to kill off main characters, in slo mo no less, when everything will reset. The second problem is the cop out on having characters meet themselves. Key people are killed - Jack in a lame way - to ensure they don't meet themselves, while others are conveniently out of the way. Cheap! The final problem is a slow middle. When Cam, Sam and Daniel are forced into normal lives, without contact with each other, the movie slows to a crawl. It's as if the writers needed a little bit more, so they added useless padding.The movie continued the tradition of killing Ba'al. He dies multiple times.Watch it.

Fan since the SG1 movie! It is good to see all the 'old faces', but too much yakking and not enough action. If the ship was seaworthy enough to float, where did the water come from? Jackson's solution-artificial leg, seen when he calls himself. How did the C4 blast a chimney and how did they get up it? If they couldn't contact each other, how was Cam able to call Sam then call Jackson? The scene in the chamber with the warriors, reminded me of the Imps in Doom. Why didn't SG1 have the mini Chapp'i power source earlier? Why didn't Cam's appearance in 1939 create a time paradox? Too many open ends and assumptions. Entertaining, anyway. Glad I bought it at discount. Lunatic1-1

I found it completely entertaining. So much so that I will probably watch it again before the week is out!There was the "feel" of the show with the verbal interplay we have come to love from the characters, and with enough of the action and spectacle for a "big screen" feature. (Trying to keep the spoilers to a minimum) I loved the time travel angle, but most of all I loved seeing the team working together to solve the problem.The production company got some great assistance from our navy with the scenes near the beginning. I would love to see it in a theater!
