are you a gaygay wanting me to fap to Ra?
>are you a gaygay wanting me to fap to Ra?
of course not why would anyone want someone to do that haha
I would, that bussy is top tier!
the activation scene is pure KINO.
Pretty damn good CGI for the early 90s.
here's the trick: it's not CGI.
it's a real water surface embedded inside the gate with some weird amplified lighting. same for the kawoosh, they did it with an air cannon.
in the series the water surface is CGI and it clearly didn't look as good in the early years. the kawoosh was again real water.

Interdasting, I did not know that
Asking if you should like or dislike something before you watch it is the ultimate sign of weakness.
yes well, I am a jabbie, i like to be told what to think
A classic example of wasted potential, so you're making a movie about a wormhole device that can take you to other planets and the best you can come up with is... boring desert wasteland. Maybe it comes from the book, haven't read it, but it still seems like a complete waste.
I'll take the Canadian forests in SG1 over that shit any day
but without it there wouldnt be sg1
there was no book. and you need the desert to make Egyptian gods kino. SG-1 did it on Canadian forests only because they lacked money.
>there was no book
wtf, I must be confusing it with something else. What is the sci-fi series that the original creator has completely disavowed because it strayed from his story and has written a completely different timeline instead?
there's a novelization of the movie idk if that's what you are talking about, and some sequel books that came after (i only read the first sequel)
I think I read that Roland Emmerich and the other screenwriter were displeased with the TV show and commissioned AU novels instead, and those novels are based on cut content from the movie and ignore the series
that could sound like Stargate since Emmerich (director and writer of the movie) had nothing to do with the series. but the movie is original, and Emmerich never directed or wrote an alternative timeline. some very obscure novels that came out before the series did that, but they weren't made by Emmerich either.
Independence Day was meant to be the sequel to Stargate, it would have been completely fricking mental and gigakino but it was dumbed down to le Roswell greys instead.
holy shit, I never made the connection between the grey of the Stargate movie and the greys of Independence Day.
>we were robbed of such kino
was stargate not hugely successful? they should've just went for it
The whole point of the Stargate was to escape the dying desert planet moron.
That's why the alien originally built it and then used it to escape when there was a revolt on Earth. He took some human slaves with him which is why there's a civilian on the other side.
Agreed
it's great! ra needed more screen time. such an unconventional villain and he has like four min of screen time
OP here,
I'm 25 mins in....
So they send a probe through the stargate and it can somehow immediately broadcast its location of millions of light years away from earth back to the scientists?
I didn't know the military had FTL communication technology in the early 90s.....what is this bullshit?!
i wish there were wormhole right in front of me and i would punch through in and sock you right in the head
radio signals go through the wormhole moron
if the radio signal source was coming from the wormhole the scientists would not have been able to identify where the probe was located in the universe, they need to be able to trace the radio waves back from the actual planet(millions of miles away) to be able to identify what planet the probe was on.
makes no sense. this movie is shit
millions of lightyears*
physically impossible sci fi is fricking gay
>watching stargate for the scifi elements
>not watching stargate for the esoteric alt history and peak 90s twink kino
You sure you belong here anon?
I'm an electrical engineer.
When a movie gets something so simple so completely wrong its hard to ignore and derails the narrative.
Stretching a twink isn't as much fun as you think. You'll probably gag when you get down to it and realize how manly they still look in the business area.
David Spader was the superior 90s twink character: superior for being better-looking, superior for being straight, and superior for being the protagonist
>we need to let the audience know that the bad guy is a complete degenerate.
yep, message recieved.
wizard did it
It's a really dumb movie but also you're somehow even dumber.
the editing is shit in this entire explanation scene and yeah it doesn't make a lot of sense.
the series retconned tons of elements from the movie because of this.
Idk. Entangled particles or something
Radio signals can travel both ways through the gate.
yes but that wouldnt not allow for identification of the location of the planet the probe was on.
why are Cinemaphile anons so moronic about basic physics?
Sha're is hot in this, not so much in the tv version.
i'd like to enter her stargate in both the movie and the show if you know what im saying
Really? Sha're in show makes me diamonds. Amazing breasts and body
Having now seen both I must agree with 2nd anon.
TV Sha're is hotter,
and I get to see her breasts, yes?
Kurt Russel is the same character he was in Soldier. The premise is cool though. I haven't bothered with the miniseries though.
I just started sg1 after watching stargate for the first time a couple weeks ago and although there is some hokeyness in the early episodes and the serpent guard helmets and jaffa armor generally are a massive downgrade visually, quite a few of these episodes are really good. I'm told it only gets better as you get out of the first season. I just finished Tin Man last night and I think that's my favorite so far
comtria! and enjoy the ride. Tin Man was a great episode, one of my favorites too. Season 2-5 are the peak of the series.
I saw it when I was a kid and loved it, but I have avoided all the tv shows and like the plague, they all look shitty as hell
SG1 is good if you like Star Trek in fatigues. Personally I really enjoy it. Atlantis and Universe were both terrible imo
SG-1 is good, Atlantis is not as good but still good, but Universe fell victim to a lot of contemporary television cliches and wasn't so great
>why is fiction not real ugh so mad >:~~*
lmfao
They are hailed all around as peak comfy. What are you talking about?
My dad is obsessed with this movie
Your dad sounds like a chud
*chad
Was ok, nice backstory. Liked ID4 better that came the year after iirc
why do I get the feeling this guy is going to do some quintessential 90's token black guy kino in this film bros?
It was ok back in the days. It aged poorly. Especially the super elite military squad sent across the gate who all turn out to be low IQ idiots.
>learn about new world you know nothing about it
>bring along nuclear bomb
lol
90s USA would do that
Do you know anything about USA?
>We went through the star gate
>and its ancient egypt on the other side
>we now need to save them from their own gods
how
innovative
but their own gods are aliens
The soundtrack is pretty good. I listen to it sometimes to help me write.
Moderately kino movie, that gets very quickly wrapped up in the series first few episodes, then the series makes a whole universe which is kino.
Up until S8, then stop wholesale
Atlantis is so bad they literally have no idea who the badguys are, the chemistry between the main cast are all dogshot.
And then Universe was Producers and Excec's ruining the series for money so whatever!
please tell me i'm going to get to see her breasts!
you will in the series
no but the first episode of sg1 you can see her naked. except its the other chick
Yes
why does this sperg make me laugh so hard bros?
he looks like a slightly taller, more moronic, peter dinklage!
kek
Esoteric israeli propaganda about a slave rebellion against a sun god.
there is no Exodus nor Promised Land though. it's the god who goes into Exodus, twice.
Wait....
the bad guy is an over the top flaming wiener bawd????
Emmerich is gay and the Stargate is a metaphor for anus.
ahhh,
so ra is like his sissy butt bawd fantasy?
gay creator,
film is full of half naked boys running around on screen.
THEY'RE ALL FRICKING PEDOS!!!!!
Yes anon. I hope you were prepared for twink kino
The actress who played Ra was cute.
>Is it Cinemaphile approved kino?
It is.
Absolutely. Then you have SG1 to binge. First 8 seasons were beyond kino.
aight ima start the series next
Ok, I just finished it.
I'd give it a solid 7.5/10
If i was a wiener swallower I guess it would be an 8 or 9
is the series worth watching next?
yes. hope you like the p90
This picture is funny because in the series tyey literally comment that every planet they go to looks like British Columbia where it's filmed.
5 mins into SG1 ep 1.
Ra is somehow aliove.
this shit is going to be so kino, i can tell!
thats apophis you dipshit, not ra.
>we got this very dangerous portal inside our base
>a squad of grunts with M16 will be enough security
they have some machineguns too
That got annoying over time. Why wasn't the gate room a complete killbox? Why are the grunts exposed instead of being behind a pillbox? Why is everyone on an angle that allows fire from the other side to hit the grunts and the command room? It should be at a right angle. The next room should be a decontamination room that must be passed, then an x ray room to catch snakes. There, solved most the early incursion problems they had. Series really only wanted to deal with plot related disease on occasion even if it would be a huge issue given that even humans ~2000 years apart will encounter and breed different viruses/bacteria, worse still all the genuine aliens. Same as why it's all over the place in terms of language, sometimes they can speak, but not read the local language, sometimes it's both. Understandable, don't want every episode to be 30 mins learning a new language with implied 6 month timeskip.
Still eternally mad with asgard sudoku'ing and just gifting earth 'we're the bosses of this galaxy now'. Some stuff in S8 got too convenient.
>Still eternally mad with asgard sudoku'ing and just gifting earth 'we're the bosses of this galaxy now'. Some stuff in S8 got too convenient.
this ruined the series imo
if they return they should do a reboot as the story had nowhere to go with this having happened. Earth can now do anything
IIRC it was just part of their 'oh shit we might get cancelled, WRAP UP EVERYTHIIIING' problems.
she's some how a theoretical astrophysicist and a decorated fighter pilot?
Bullshit!
not a fighter pilot, she has simply test flown fighter jets
>simply test flown fighter jets
You understand that that is waaaay more demanding and time consuming than being just a fighter pilot, right?
what do you think astronauts' CVs are?
movie actors
This,
space is fake and gay, astronauts are glowBlack person assets.
Kubrik tried to tell us
an average science fiction flick
Its great up the until they actually find out what is on the other side of the portal. After that it is just OK.
Goold?
OP here
SG1 IS ABSOLUTE FRICKING KINO!!!!
thanks Cinemaphile your advice is once again epicly wise.
im so pumped i got like 30+ hours of top tier tainment to binge now
It's cheese through and through, ya spastic. Video game writing in TV format. You'll regret wasting your time on this crap.
>Video game writing in TV format
show me something from the '90s that doesnt fit that description....
I watched it for the first time just a few weeks ago and it was so good I immediately went out and bought the entire tv series on dvd
I liked the movie more than the show overall
the movie had really neat anthropological stuff and I think the first season of SG1 tried to retain this to some extent but it largely didn't work out much with the one off nature of every planet
>buying content in 2023
ngmi
ngl
would smash
>Season 1 carter
Raymond Reddington?!
It’s a solid flick
The first half of the movie is good. Once they start to befriend the aliens and the plot gets unveiled it really starts to degrade in quality. The fact that this is a Roland Emmerich film becomes very apparent by the halfway point, and I mean that in a completely negative sense.
