Daniel Jackson is invited by a mysterious woman to decipher an ancient hieroglyph in a military facility. Soon he finds that the device was developed by an advanced civilization and opens a portal to teletransport to another planet.
Jackson is invited to join a military team under the command of Colonel Jonathan 'Jack' O'Neil that will explore the new world. They find a land that recalls Egypt and humans in a primitive culture that worship and are slaves to Ra, the God of the Sun.
But soon they discover the secret of the mysterious "stargate". Rated PG for sci-fi action violence. Did you know Edit. Trivia Ra's 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 , as an identifier to people who are taken over by the Goa'uld. Goofs During Dr. Daniel Jackson's first discussion of the age of the cover stones, Dr. Barbara Shore mentions carbon dating.
Carbon dating technique would be useless on stone or metal; it can give the age only of once-living matter.
However, the carbon dating might have been used on discovered organic residue that the cover stones were placed on top of or that has some other connection to them. Alternate versions Special edition released on Laserdisc and US video substitutes alternate footage for some scenes and includes 9 minutes of additional material. User reviews Review. Top review. Epic science fiction with its heart in the right place. With a capable cast, solid script and excellent set design, this is a big-budget adventure for viewers looking for pure escapist fun.
The ever reliable Kurt Russell plays the square-jawed, world weary Jack O'Neil, who is responsible for leading the military mission to another world. James Spader plays the brilliant archaeologist, Dr. At the time, this was a different type of role for Spader and he handles the humorous content of his scenes with great success.
Although Davidson's role is quite small, he brings an other-worldly presence to his part. The score by David Arnold is excellent. A great idea for a movie, I can't help but think the concept would have made a successful television series FAQ 3. At the end of Stargate SG-1 season 7, the show introduces a lost city called Atlantis. The members of the team discover its location, which is extremely deep in space.
Stargate Command sends a permanent team there, which sets up its own base and essentially lives as a colony in the city of Atlantis. Stargate SG-1 season 8 continues its threads, and by the season finale, the team finally defeats its two biggest opponents, the Goa'uld and the Replicators. Meanwhile, Stargate Atlantis season 1 introduces the new characters — and, of course, their own powerful enemy, the Wraith. Again, you don't have to go back and forth between the shows, but it'll help to watch these seasons back to back since the events they depict take place at the same time.
With many long-running shows, expanding salaries and assorted behind-the-scenes drama often leads to onscreen changes, and season 9 of Stargate-SG-1 is no exception; longtime viewers found themselves watching a markedly different show. Both Jack O'Neill and General Hammond became minor characters because the actors playing them wanted to step down.
As a result, a new SG-1 team forms. Additionally, Vala Mal Doran Claudia Black becomes a main character: She's a very clever but morally ambiguous human alien with a strong infatuation with Doctor Jackson. We're also introduced to a new race of villains called the Ori, who learn of humans living in the Milky Way Galaxy. So they begin a violent crusade into our regions of the universe, planning to convert everyone to their religion, Origin.
They're very technologically advanced, so SG-1 has to come up with innovative ways to defeat them. Meanwhile, in Atlantis, the team tries to develop a retrovirus that will turn Wraith into humans. But their experiments aren't exactly perfect, with subjects producing ambiguous results at best. The Wraith, who feed on humans, learn of Earth's location and decide to fly there for its rich feeding grounds.
This is the last time you have to watch both shows at the same time, but once again, you are going to watch a season of Stargate SG-1 and a season of Stargate Atlantis together. Season 10 is the final season of Stargate SG-1 , and it wraps up several plot threads.
Without giving anything away, the series finale ties up a bunch of different long-running plot threads, including the fate of at least one fan-favorite couple and the climax of the battle against a series big bad.
After dozens of episodes, that's finally it for Stargate SG-1 — now dust off your hands and head over to Stargate Atlantis season 3, which you should watch at the same time. In Stargate Atlantis, the team manages to prevent the Wraith from assaulting Earth, but they also fail to develop a retrovirus for changing Wraith into humans. They continue to battle the Wraith through the season as well as yet another adversary — a new enemy called the Asurans, which are self-replicating nanobots.
The Asurans threaten to destroy the city of Atlantis, so the team fires up the city's hyperdrives yes, the city can freaking travel through space and take off for the stars.
But soon after this evasive move, the ship is damaged, and our heroes are left adrift in space. Before you watch the next season of Stargate Atlantis which has five seasons in total , you have to first watch Stargate: Ark of Truth, a direct-to-video movie whose plot picks up right after the end of Stargate SG Ark of Truth wraps up the Ori arc left dangling in the SG-1 series finale, effectively eliminating the enemy once and for all.
The movie begins by explaining the existence of an ancient device known as the Ark of Truth, which can defeat the Ori. Naturally, the team is eager to find it, but unfortunately, it's on the Ori homeworld.
Despite being a suicide mission, they visit the planet and retrieve the device. But in the process, they also resurrect an old enemy — the replicators. The Ori gather their forces for a final assault on the Milky Way, but SG-1 activates the Ark of Truth, and it defeats the Ori, albeit in an unexpected way. The device shows the Priors that the Ori are not gods. The Priors are humans who serve the Ori and promote their religion, which includes plans to invade Earth.
The effect of the Ark of Truth is that all Priors in the galaxy become aware of the truth and thus leave their religion and the Ori altogether, and the film ends with SG-1 preparing to go through the Stargate on yet another mission, implying the story will go on. Now that you've finished Ark of Truth , head back to Stargate Atlantis and watch season 4.
At this time, there was a bit of a transition in the Stargate franchise. Secondly, there was quite a shift in the casting. Main character Elizabeth Weir Torri Higginson became incapacitated in-universe, making room for Samantha Carter Amanda Tapping to become a main character. Carter crossed over from Stargate SG-1 , but after the show ended, she continued to appear in Atlantis. The show's tone and direction also take a turn, but this one is a little more dark.
The city of Atlantis is adrift in space, and our heroes are struggling to make repairs. Back in , there was a low-budget, OK-but-not-great mini-series called " Stargate: Origins " that focused on young Catherine Langford's backstory.
Sci-fi started taking a darker, grittier tone following the success of shows like "Battlestar Galactica" and not wanting to be left behind, "Stargate Universe" was born. Unfortunately, following poor ratings, this vastly underrated spinoff failed to garner a third season. The "Stargate" franchise was finally shut down in May Stargate executive producer Joseph Mallozzi is dropping new hints about what Brad Wright's long-gestating Stargate project might look like, and how close it is to a green light.
This new project comes from Brad Wright, who co-created the three previous TV series, according to Gateworld. Wright's been working on something for nearly two years now, but the COVID pandemic has pushed back pitches, an official pick-up and a production start. Wright himself said in the spring that he is still trying to get the project going.
Or someday, period!
