Whoever came up with the idea to make a movie about that guy from Romper Stomper, now with bleached hair, who confesses to 60 minutes that he put ammonia in cigarettes for some tobacco company should never make movies again. There is absolutely no action in this flick, no comedy, nothing! Nothing happens in the whole movie. All it shows is how unjust american law is. Basically the whole movie would be summed up into a 10 minute documentary, and we wouldn't waste 3 hours of our lives watching it. Not only that, but it was in widescreen so everything appeared so small and half the time I had no clue what going on. The dialogue is also difficult to understand.

I give this 1 out of 10.

Most believe Stargate SG-1 to be better than the movie it spawned from. Perhaps that is so. But I believe being a series it can also expand on a lot of things the movie didn't have time for.

A plot, characters, and humour add the entertainment factor to the StarGate, which in it's movie phase was just a concept thrown into a film.

However being a series the writers often seem to write episodes which diverge from the main plot and end up looking like a traditional science fiction story, or an episode entirely focused on developing a character. I despise this, but many people to enjoy a break from the fate-of-the-world type hype that happens in most episodes.

Personally I think this is the greatest show to ever hit the screens, and a lot of people agree with me. A lot of sci-fi fans love this one. I am not a sci-fi fan, but this very concept has always been with me even before I saw the Stargate film, so I was very interested in this whole phenomenon. A lot of history buffs watch this one, as most races of people on the show are decendants from ancient Earth civilisations. A lot of people watch it because the cast is just so sexy! (Go Amanda and Teryl!)

It really is a truly fantastic show! I recommend everyone watch it, no matter what your impression was when you first heard the title etc...

I haven't seen the earlier Fail-Safe film, but I was rather impressed by this flick. It was a made-for-tv movie with a difference. Apparently it was shot and broadcasted without any cutting or retakes. Sure it was black and white, but what sort of spooner complains about a movie because it's black and white? I've seen stuff like this before, the whole plane-getting-new-orders issue, but who knows if that was maybe just copied off the earlier fail-safe movie. I was entertained by this story, the star cast, and the novelty of the performance, although I doubt I can call this an entertaining movie. I'm wierd, and I liked it, you might not. -Goa`uld
