Stargate (1994) First Time Watching Movie Reaction *We're in the Basement*

Stargate and its series (SG-1, SGA and SGU) all need a lot more reactions. They're so slept on. It's aged really well too.

Richard Dean Anderson taking over as Jack O'neill really elevates the tv show

Love the movie...absolutly LOVE SG-1. Hands down my favourite Sci-Fi. The universe is interesting, and the cast on SG-1 is amazing.

Hell yes. Stargate anything

Love stargate!!! Nobody ever reactions to these so I was so excited to see you guys doing it! I subscribed before I even watched..😂 Please hang in for the long haul of sg1 and do sga! Both are very worth it!

I find it weird that the first thing you assumed about Shau'ri is that she was a "working woman". The first thing I thought of is that she was offered as a concubine/wife. There was the ritual of accepting drinking water. There was the ritual of Daniel being washed. Many cultures in the past did things like that. And if not offering as a wife - a young woman sleeping with a stranger was a good way to get new genes into the population. Especially populations that were isolated and risked inbreeding.

SG-1 then Atlantis. In the canon timeline Atlantis starts several years after SG-1.

I like the Stargate movie, but I LOVE the Stargate series

"Give my regards to King Tut, asshole." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of French Stewart. Animal Wangler Fact: The horse-like creatures on the planet were real horses with external costumes draped over them. Dogs were also used. Location Location Fact: The first scene set in contemporary times was filmed at the Park Plaza Hotel. The interior scenes were filmed in a converted aircraft hanger in California, 500 ft wide and 50 ft high allowing for some of the most gigantic film sets ever made to be created. Practical Over CGI Fact: The city on the alien planet Abydos, which appears to be very large, was a miniature placed on a dune, with each course of buildings being only about four feet tall. Ra's (Jaye Davidson) glowing-eye effect was added in post-production, because test audiences didn't think that he was alien enough. This trait was continued in Stargate SG-1 (1997), as an identifier to people who are taken over by the Goa'uld. The Rest Of The Story Fact: The early pre-release screenings of the movie were disastrous. The percentage of the audience who liked the movie fell into the mid-30s, and executive producer Mario Kassar realized the main problem was that the plot made zero sense. His solution: have the Ra character's dialogue subtitled, and made into information that presented a clear storyline. When these changes were made, the subsequent test screenings produced an overwhelming majority of positive reviews, and this carried the movie into becoming one of the surprise hits of fall 1994.

11:27 Combinatorics leads to surprisingly large numbers. Yeah, there are 7 symbols in a gate address, but that's out of a larger set of possible symbols. I'm using a bit of information that isn't clear in the movie, but these gates have a total of 39 symbols. It also stands to reason that repetitions are not allowed in addresses, otherwise you would have the same symbol sometimes used for two different endpoints in the system that uses them to define the lines that intersect at the destination point, which can't work. Therefore, we're talking about permutations of 7 out of 39, of which there are a total of 77,519,922,480. This doesn't really explain why they couldn't figure out the address to dial to Abydos, though, despite having had decades to try. They already knew 6 of the symbols and their order, since they had identified them from the cartouche, and somehow they also knew one more was needed. If they assumed it's either a prefix or a suffix, that means they only needed to try 78 possibilities, which they could do in 2 or 3 hours with the technology in the base. (It's also possible to do it without all of said technology, but it's not as easy.)

So it's the extended version. Not the version seen in theatres.

4 seasons of Battlestar Galactica was for a reason, it started good but it got worse and worse as it went on, I personally quit after the first 2 seasons then forced my self for the last 2 cringe seasons. that's why such a short life, not enough viewership and why I won't consider it better than Startrek series or Stargate series. Would love for you both to watch the series but a warning, not many reactors finish it because it's 10 seasons plus 2 other shows and 2 other movies to continue that story. That makes this a huge commitment as to compared to Battlestar Galactica
