September 21, 2009I've caught the series a couple of times on TV and it doesn't look that bad, so I guess this film wasn?t such a waste of time after all, because when it came out it really did feel like a wasted idea.

July 14, 2009I have to say I really really hate this movie with a passion of a thousand naquadah bombs trust me...thats a lot but the series is the best.

May 5, 2009When this came out it was huge, and its not bad. There are alot of rips from other films..Star Wars springs to mind, but this is quite original and looks good. The Egyptian ideas are nice and they work well but the plot was abit all over the place. Cast is ok, not bad, wish they ...( read more)

April 28, 2009It is weird seeing the movie after you have seen the series. We've seen the premise a hundred times already. Also I find it difficult to understand how Ra can build things like spaceships and StarGates when he can't repel a measly rabble of locals.
But the movie is for enterta...( read more) -

Aliens have mastered interstellar travel, but still need slave labor to build their pyramids. It's an Egyptian/Sci-Fi/Adventure, that is mostly dumb fun. I used to give thi...( read more) -

April 15, 2009SCI FI Channel has rounded out its cast of the drama-adventure series, "SGU: Stargate Universe," with an array of celebrity guest stars, set to make appearances throughout the season including, Richard Dean Anderson, Christopher McDonald, Grammy nominated recording artist, Janelle Mone, Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks, Gary Jones and Carlo Rota. The new original one-hour series stars Robert Carlyle, Lou Diamond Phillips and Ming-Na. Produced by MGM Television, the series is currently in production in Vancouver, BC and is set to premiere on SCI FI in October 2009 with a special two-hour episode.
Edgier and younger in tone, "SGU" will take the franchise in a dynamic new direction, appealing to longtime "Stargate" fans and first-time viewers alike. The two-part premiere of "Universe" is being directed by Andy Mikita ("Stargate Atlantis," "Stargate SG-1") and lensed by Rohn Schmidt ("The Shield," The Mist). The series also stars Alaina Huffman, Justin Louis, David Blue, Jamil WalkerSmit -

May 11, 2007Richard Dean Anderson is the best. Kurt Russel doesn't have the humour or the clever and funny lines.
Although the film did come first -
March 22, 2007Better O'Neil? Definitely RDA, but then again, I've never really liked Kurt Russell.
As for Daniel Jackson, I like both, but I think I prefer Michael Shanks just a little bit more. -
March 12, 2007Oh i so prefer RDA and Micheal Shanks over Kurt Russel and James Spader
-
November 25, 2006Yes, me and my mum keep on watching the series over and over and whenever Micheal comes on the scene we sit there and say how cute he is! it's really funny. yer n i spose he had more time but im sorry, i really think he's better though.
-
November 17, 2006Well, Michael Shanks had more time to expand on the character, give him a lot of quirks that I love. And yes, definitely cuter.
-
November 13, 2006
Richard Dean Anderson is totally the better O'Neill. I love the series and the movie but i wish they would just keep the characters the same in both of them. like have RDA and Micheal Shanks (Daniel) in the movie. Hey Which is the Better Daniel, James Spader or Micheal Shanks. I totally say Micheal Shanks hes cuter. lol
-
November 7, 2006Richard Dean Anderson is a much better o'neill. I have been a fan of both the movie and the series for a long time trust me, richard is much better then Russell
-
October 9, 2006For my money RDA makes a better O'Neill. It's not really fair to compare though, RDA got to spend a lot more time with the character then Russell did.
