PATREON EXCLUSIVE UNCUT REACTION - Stargate (1994)

I think the music is really what makes this movie work for me. It's so iconic in my opinion.

One of my favorite of all times. I've watched the entire show too. Loved it 💗

Not gonna lie I got disappointed in the beginning. When I saw the notification on my phone my first thought was "Ohhh, they must be getting ready to start the Stargate series!"

As I said before, the movie is a pretty decent, OK film, but nothing amazing in my view. I'm pretty sure the only reason it won the poll is because of the strength of the series (which was great), and not due to the movie as an isolated thing.

Hey Guys, love your stuff, was here for your star trek stuff initially, but love stargate too. While I realize you've said you're not watching SG-1 at the minute, I just want to note for you it gets much better. They re-cast at the start of the series, and I think the cast they choose just work much better together and fit their roles much better. You also get a different director, that I think does a much better job than Roland Emerick. Not that I've got anything against this movie... like you guys said, it's ok, but I just feel like he hadn't really found the formula that makes stargate really work with this movie, whereas they hit on it pretty much right away in the series. Anyways, consider this my petition and recommendation for you to consider watching SG-1! :) Cheers guys!

Hey, don't you be talking shit about Independence Day. That's my ritual birthday movie every 4th of July. A slice of pizza, and watching Will Smith punch aliens and Jeff Goldblum be the Blumiest Jeff? Also, THAT SPEECH from Bill Pullman. Chills every time. Honestly, ID4 is Emerich's best movie, with Stargate in second place. The Patriot would be my second pick, but it's so historically inaccurate that it hurts. 24:42: Doom, Half-Life, Quake, The Mist, From Beyond... It never goes well to open a portal. 29:13 Well, the one thing you gotta consider there is that the gate requires a certain level of technological sophisticated. They're somehow interfacing with the gate using our computers to tell it to "dial." So... Yeah you're not doing that until... 1960s, maybe, and even then most computers of that day just wouldn't be sophisticated or powerful enough to process the information needed. So you need the computer revolution before you can use the gate. 29:45 I'm convinced Alex isn't drinking fireball. It's just sweet tea in a fireball fifth. 1:04:42 Just edit in a "Hey Patrons, be sure to like, comment, and subscribe." OR, if you *really* want to irritate the shit out of people, get one of those old "Let's all got to the lobby" intermissions from Cinemas. 1:19:44 My favorite bit about that scene is, although its never explicitly stated... That reveal that these "Gods" (Anubis, Ra, etc) are just men... Jack immediately knows the threat they're dealing with. 1:21:14 The ancient Gods could be quite vengeful. Plagues, floods, famine. I think that's what the attack is playing into. Ra is striking fear into his subjects. People get hyped for SG-1, and it does have its moments as a TV show, but I think the movie actually holds up a lot better over time. The effects are great, that David Arnold score? Whew, sweeping, epic. He always delivers. Also, it's Kurt Russell. Like, come on.

I like the movie better than the show. Ra is cooler than guys with “worms” in them. I rewatched it more recently and I like the show a bit more than I did. It feels like they wanted to be Star Trek but they don’t have the support infrastructure to do it. No ships, no Phasers they’re just diving through a portal and hoping they can get home again.

Okay... suggestions for next month's movie- Starman (1984) A Star is Born (1954) Starship Troopers (1997)

Roland Emmerich's movie production partner Dean Devlin has a DIRECT connection with Star Trek TOS. From another website: "Devlin has been a sci-fi fan since he was a child. His actress mother, Pilar Seurat, appeared in the “Wolf in the Fold” episode of the original “Star Trek.” [Her character was the lady who held the seance, as seen from the camera angle looking straight down from the ceiling.] “She came home with a phaser from the set and gave it to me,” he notes. “I’ve always said that was the crack that started my addiction.” "

You mentioned that Daniel's sneezing never paid off in the story. It does pay off... In the show.

I have a movie collection of over 1600 movies. It is fun for me to listen to your impressions and thoughts , you were saying you don’t like to know what a.movie is before you go in I can watch some old movie again (stargate is a so, so movie good not great. ). Watching an along and seeing that same old thing through new eyes is pretty cool This movie suffered from trying to add in potential for a sequel late in the movie fluffing it some to leave room for the next adventure and more back story . Stargate sg-1 is good sci-fi most of the time preachy a lot. And builds its own narrative. Worth a look some day after you watch the black list Another exceptional series not quite great.

Alex, you're gonna HAVE to watch again because you guys were talking over the chicken man part ;)

Just a taste of a series than ran TEN seasons and is poised to return in the near future.

5:20 It said it's 1928! Pay attention! LOL!

Just putting it out there: sometime between 2035 and 2040...when you get around to watching the SG1 show....ALL of your questions will be explained, analyzed, and expanded on down to the last detail over a decade of America's longest running consecutive science fiction franchise as officially recorded by the Guinness Book of World Records. Just saying.

I love that you put the "We're not watching the series" disclaimer at the start. It's probably my second favorite scifi series (never cared much for the movie) but yeah it is very long.

HA! “Kurt Russell comes in and goes ‘We don’t care about the pyramids; blow ‘em up!’ ‘But sir, we’re trying to figure them out!’” My god, how did these guys capture PERFECTLY the ENTIRE relationship between the Jack and Daniel of the show…without even having met Jack AT ALL yet?! 🤣

I was wondering if you guys would notice the actor playing the mustache general.

Oh yay! The spin-off series are super great, so I'll always hope you guys get into that one day.. way in the future, of course, but hey I really like the movie too so I'm excited to watch it! ❤️

Got my ultimate edition Blu-ray on the way, can't wait to watch. As a kid into both ancient Egypt and sci-fi, this ticked so many boxes for me.

STARGAAAAAATE!!! FUCK YEAH! God, why do I have to wait until I get home to watch this?! I REALLY hope this leads to the shows being watched! Or at least…two of them. So happy.
