This one and half hour long episode is a really strong continuation from the movie, a few actors have been replaced but you get over that pretty quickly. Kurt Russell is an amazing actor but Richard Dean Anderson's Jack O'Neill is so much more charming and i'm glad he got to change up O'Neill a bit to suit him better as an actor. The chemistry between Kurt Russell and James Spader was good in the movie and the chemistry between Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks who now plays Daniel Jackson looks really promising in this first episode as well.
Our heroes are once again going back to Abydos and we see a few familiar characters from the movie. Kawalsky (Jay Acovane) and O'Neill work great together and it's nice seeing Kawalsky get his own team even if i would have liked to have Kawalsky with O'Neill as much a possible, maybe they are to similar for it to work. Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) is a great addition to the series as she will be able to have good conversations with both Daniel Jackson and Jack O'Neill. She's physics doctor and captain in the Air Force so she's kind of the one who knows a bit of everything.
Don S. Davis plays General George Hammond a tough general but at the same time he seems to care about his people very much and i look forward to seeing his interactions with Jack in the future. The villain is a character very similar to Ra in the movie, his name is Apophis (Peter Williams) and thanks to him we get a new fascinating character introduced Teal'c (Christoper Judge) and is going to be interesting to see how he fits in with the rest of these characters. Overall a good first episode to continue where the movie left of and both the new actors and the new characters is interesting
Score: 7/10 Good
