Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

[BlackLantern]

I can wait....it comes out the week after Comic Con and odds are there might be a screening there as well

 

[Superfreak]

OK, I recant.

Continuum was really good. Far FAr FAR better than AOT (which, when compared to this movie, was phoned in). Infact, after watching this, I wonder what they were thinking when they released AOT.

Anyhow, won't reveal much... I thought it was really good, much better than the last movie, or the last couple of seasons.

gripes:

Spoiler

-finally an air to air battle (NO 302s!!!!! because of the alternate reality BOOOOO)
-Why can't they(the badguys) invade earth in our timeline? Earth has been invaded like 5 times on stargate, each time in an alternate universe: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-Daniel's Leg, is it gone, or isn't it. Yes yes, prostethese, but come on, 1 legged man in combat.

These complaints are just little ones, that ironically have persisted for me over the series, so no biggie.

But like I said earlier, I really take back what I said about my expectations for Continuum... because this one is ten times the movie that AOT was. I think the only 'unoriginal' or 'reused' plot point, was how Teal'c gets reintroduced (how many times did they do this in the 10 seasons of sg1)

I agree with all that you've said. I was worried for Continuum, thinking that they're simply re-using a formula that they've used for the show already. But they actually acknowledged that the formula exists, and the situation in the movie was an offshoot of it. I also love all the complex paradoxes and even ethical concerns they raised in the movie.

 

[carrrnuttt]

Damned DP.

agreed, I'd even venture the statement that this is the best story since the 'new' cast was introduced

 

[Happenstance]

I really enjoyed it but I thought the ending came about too quickly, also:

Spoiler

It was just a bit annoying getting yet another story where nothing has really happened, with none of the characters remembering any of it. Yeah it was all very cool to see but without it progressing anything then its always a bit of a letdown. Also not nearly enough O'Neill! If they do manage to make more SG1 movies we need him in a full movie.

 

[deathshead2]

Finishing it as we speak.
It's alright. Alot better than the past two seasons of the shows. I'm a little angry that theres another alternate reality story, as it feels like those have been done to death on this show.

Overall I really hope they get that 3rd one they have planned made.

agreed, the alternate universes, although interesting, are annoying because they are dead end narratives. I hope no other stargate movies get the alternate universe treatment.

 

[Superfreak]

just a question about the end of continuum

Spoiler

Carter uses Baal's time machine to open a wormhole to earth, via a solar flare that sends Mitchell, the only survivore, back to 1929 earth. At that time period, where is the gate? Where did he arrive? egypt or antartica?

 

[The Squirrel]

Where are you guys seeing this already?

Spoiler

Mitchell probably popped up in Egypt when the gate was first discovered in 1928....lots of digging going on there in that time frame so he could have blended in

just watched it this afternoon....I enjoyed it

 

[PuddleJumper67]

Stargate Atlantis returns this Friday -- 10/9C on SciFi. Everybody ready?

 

[wiegeabo]

Hell yeah.

It's funny though. This break between seasons didn't feel like it took as long as it did last year.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, it does feel like I just watched the last episode a month or two ago.

 

[wiegeabo]

Hopefully the wait for the end of BSG will feel just as short.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, you know it won't.

 

[BlackLantern]

so how are they going to explain Carter leaving and Woolsey taking over?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Reassignment? Happens all the time in the military. The IOA's wanted a civilian they think they can control in that spot for years now, too.

 

[BlackLantern]

Sam Carter can be reassigned.....in my pants....

 

[X The Bends X]

I cant wait till friday, quick question r they planning on releasing all the seasons on blu r ay, oh yea any new news of the third series they were developing ?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Depends on whether or not they actually have Blu-Ray-quality film of those seasons, doesn't it? I doubt they do for anything earlier than SG-1 season 5, judging by the quality of those episodes.

 

[wiegeabo]

One more hour!!!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I got home late last night so I could only watch half of it before I zonked out.

 

[BlackLantern]

LOSER!!!! j/j....that is why I have DVR...I will usually record the re-airing later on in the evening....

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I have it on DVR, too. That's how I watched half of it. I was just so sleepy that I paused it and went to sleep, then I woke up too late to finish watching it this morning before work, so now I'm gonna have to wait until late tonight, after Hellboy and going to my friends' house.
