Solarmass I only saw this movie not tv series

My wife and I were big fans back in the day, both of Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. We bought DVD sets of all the episodes of both series, and ripped them to our Videos NAS share. (We had no idea at the time that we'd one day be streaming movies from Netflix, Amazon, Disney, etc.)

It's been so long since we watched those, it's probably time to start at the beginning and run through them all again. Being retired, we watch a lot of movies. Especially during the rainy season.

      and probably in far better quality! I always remember this joke from MiB:

      This is awesome! 🙂

        STARGATE the movie

        I'd adored the tv series so finally saw the movie last night.
        Impressed. Imaginative, and a great story and acting. Don't laugh, I'd park this in my Sci-Fi top ten. No-nonsense, minimal CGI, no cliches.

        Conditional rec: paid $1usd at a thrift. would've paid $2. If you can see it streaming for 2.99 that's as high as I'd go (for any movie basically). If it comes your way for free then all the better.
        I dug it.

          brent I'd adored the tv series so finally saw the movie last night.

          I fell in love with Samantha Carter sometime during the first episode of the series.

              brent you and me both

              Even better, she was in Stargate Atlantis, too. One episode there had her in a bikini instead of fatigues.

                  WetGeek what was Atlantis? the sequel series or spinoff? [scrambles to find bikini episode]

                      brent what was Atlantis?

                      Same Stargates, different premise, different bad guys (wraiths instead of g'oulds), many shared characters, including Samantha. Another good series that overlapped a bit with Stargate SG1. There were a number of individual movies, too, but I can't recall their names right now.

                          If you have Amazon Prime, I think you can watch all of these (and Stargate Atlantis) on Prime Video.

                            Not at all, it was cool movie, I still remember some dope scenes from it, like the scene where they enter Stargate for the first time! 😃

                                How about the scene where Carter explained where her sex organs are located?

                                  Wasted 45 awful minutes on this putrid turd of a remake and would warn all sci-fl forum users to avoid this like the plague, it's been showing up on TV. Unaware, unscary, uninteresting and trying way too hard. It didn't hold me. Jame's Caan's ancient 70's movie had 10X the gravity of this one.

                                  Rarely does a remake of a song or a movie come out better. It does happen, but not by a longshot here.

                                  You could do better for a Saturday afternoon flick.
                                  This has been a sci-fi PSA.

                                  The Thirteenth Floor (1999) / World on a Wire (1973) (Way better if you speak German or can deal with subtitles) - both based off a book called Simulacron-3.

                                  Anime:
                                  Paprika (2006) - Inception but in anime
                                  Megazone 23 (1989) 1&2

                                  qk4-li3 To me "proper" Sci-Fi is earth- and human- centric. Space fantasies and UFOs and E.T.s are different thing.

                                  disagree completely. I think anything not worldly, and clearly not (but sometimes can be) horror is sci-fi. How could Alien not be sci-fi? But Tremors can be ('human-centric')?

                                  your source is even title dis 'definitions' with a plural for a reason🙂.

                                  Brazil is dystopian future movie based real loosely on Orweil's masterpiece) and we both agree it belongs squarely in Sci-Fi as most of the brilliant mind of Gilliam's does. We could parse semantics all day, but I respect your commitment to the definition, and your unique take. I don't believe there can be true right or wrong anyway.
                                  If it's a day that ends with a Y I am wrong about something!

                                      ender I'm going to give this a try because I love the time-travel sub-genre. Some is unplausible crap (butterfy effect) and some really is plausible.

                                      Speaking of the brilliant mind of T. Gilliam, I thought his 12 Monkey's was the greatest time travel movie ever made because 1) it was sensible and 2) a large degree of human error was built into it as it didn't pretend to be precise in any way. Sometimes you aim for 1917 and end up in the 40's.
