First of all, I must mention the fact how perfect idea MGM had to shoot a sequel to the original movie with Kurt Russel. Although there are some goofs in the plot (e.g. no one in the original movie said that the planet they've visited is called Abydos; how could Apophis dial address back on his homeworld from Earth without the DHD /Dial Home Device/; or the fact that there was no DHD on Abydos in the original movie), in general, the directors keep the plot line. Special effects are very good, the first time I say the Goa'uld symbiont sneaking out of the Jaffa woman and entering Shau're, I was really pretty scared. Now, comments to some particular scenes: -The opening scene where Apophis and his Jaffa enter the gateroom in the SGC, kidnap the female sergeant and kill the other soldiers is very strong and very well done, it all happens very quickly, but the consequences are huge. -When Kowalski and O'Neill talk in the cell and Kowalski hears what happens to O'Neill's son, Richard Dean Anderson's acting is really very good, his face says very much. The same goes on the scene in his house when he's talking with Daniel about what happened with his wife. -The scene where Cpt. Carter enters the briefing room is very funny, Kowalski and Ferretti look like two little boys as they giggle and talk about Major Matt Mason. -On Chulak, the scene in the prison, when Apophis orders Teal'c to kill the remaining people. O'Neill's "Help me!" and Teal'c's answer are so strong, I just sat and watched them holding my breath. -Attack of the death gliders and then the battle at the stargate is cool, I love Kowalski's happy smile as he shoots at the Jaffa. O'Neill staying as the last one - good leader! -The final scene, discovering that Kowalski is a Goa'uld... very big shock. Perfect movie at all, as the whole series.
