Awesome movie

[@cruesome2]

My fav is The Thing, but you still have Overboard and the Escape From films to watch.

[@movieopinions7201]

Kurt Russell is at both Number 1 - The Thing and Number 4 - Big Trouble in Little China on my Top 20 favourite films list, he is one of my favourite actors of all time

[@jpolk8390]

Soldier, BTiLC, Captain Ron, Backdraft, Miracle, Christmas Chronicles and Stargate

[@robertchurch5646]

I really hope that you’ll check out SG-1 either as a series on your channel or on your own time. If you like the movie, you’ll love the series! Mythology and science fiction, can’t beat that combo.

[@kyoshiro13]

I loved SG-1, but the universe is too large for any reaction channel. Over 350 episodes and 2 additional movies would be like a part time job just watching let alone editing. Edit. I stand corrected, with some channels with a TV or Scifi focus having attempted it (generally years in and not completed but chugging away). Even though SG-1 is one of my favorite shows I would much rather see 100 different movies from Jen over a single TV universe.

[@eXpriest]

There's a few channels that are working their way through sg1, but yeh, it's up there with Babylon 5 and tng as sci fi series you really should see.

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

SG-1 had Richard Dean Anderson. always a win and a legend for giving us Macgyver, loved that show.

[@mscheese000]

SG-1 would be an absolutely massive commitment. I'd love to see it but I really doubt she'll do it. Especially seeing as I don't think she's done any TV reactions before. If she did, quite frankly, there are other shows I'd prefer to see.

[@jkelley14701]

Stargate SG-1 is GREAT! The premise is changed just a little bit to make it work as a tv series. Spoiler: There are many stargates.

[@seanbumstead1250]

@Wishalloy alright, I really liked the movie. I'll give the show a try.

[@notablezero8793]

the 1st 3 seasons are okay, after season 5 is Dope af. I got into to it by watching season 7 finale and backwards from there, whilst waiting for new season 8 episodes along side BSG. Best time ever.

[@Dillpicks95]

It’s crazy how for 1994 the graphics look amazing and still hold to this day.

[@3DJapan]

*Visual effects

[@cidiracing7481]

​@itzbp9949 Well practical effects don't change. An explosion 20 years ago looks the same as an explosion now or in 20 years. While CGI is ever evolving. That's why the stargate opening still holds up, because it's a practical effect of actual water. While the even horizon of the stargate doesn't look great and people nowadays could make a better looking effect at home on a normal PC thanks to modern fluid simulations. Depending on the CGI quality it can still hold up decades later. First Contact came out only a few laters and still ups very well.

[@matsv201]

A lot of it is composite.. while computer made, not what we call CGI today. The grapics that is totaly CGI don't look as good

[@cidiracing7481]

@itzbp9949 Well I see those type of movies like the 70s/80s/90s monster movies that had cheap practical effects that made them look like movies from the 40s/50s. xD

[@3DJapan]

@@cidiracing7481 Frankly I think the event horizon looks better in this movie than it ever did in the TV series.

If your version was one of the early ones, I assume it was in a shitty cardboard case. Those cardboard DVD cases stuck out like a sore thumb in a collection.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Saw this in the movies and loved it. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and was lucky enough to see many adventure sci Fi classics as a kid/teen. Back then there was a sort of naive optimism and excitement with these types of movies, as opposed to the jaded cynicism nowadays.

Definitely a TV show Stargate:SG-1, starring MacGyver himself (Richard Dean Anderson) replacing Kurt Russel and Michael Shanks replacing James Spader's Dr Jackson. It came a little while after this and ran forever with a spin off or two as well - Super popular, I loved it! Great reaction, welcome to the Stargate Universe 😁

[@lionspawfilmandphoto]

David Arnold's score is as important to Stargate as Silvestri's score is to Back to the Future. This was may favorite movie for years.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Later adapted by Joel Goldsmith (yes he's the son of THAT Goldsmith) for SG-1

[@Astronymus_the_original_one]

David Arnold writes great iconic themes. He's not as popular as many other film composers, but he has his definite style and the music sticks in your head. That's what makes great soundtracks.

[@Astronymus_the_original_one]

@@bemasaberwyn55 Joel Goldsmith also wrote some pieces for "Star Trek First Contact" together with his father. He later wrote a lot of great music for "Stargate SG-1". Even created his own themes like for the Ori arc. That music from the TV-movies "Ark of Truth" and "Continuum" are masterpieces. The title sequence of "Ark of Truth" alone when the music changes from the classic Stargate theme to the Ori theme is brilliant. I talked to him a few times in the forum on his website back in the day. I'm still sad Joel passed away so early.

[@VforVictory00]

Stargate movie came first, then Stargate SG1 as a tv series that continues after the movie. Definitely recommend watching SG1

[@keithgoodnight3463]

You should definitely check out the TV series, "Stargate SG-1." It's one of the top tier SF series (although it's got some early installment problems in its first season). It follows after the events of the movie. It retcons a few things to better fit an ongoing series, but not all that much. There were a couple of further spinoff series, which are fun if you do enjoy SG1 but aren't on the same level.

[@hellomark1]

Personally I preferred Atlantis to SG1, or at least consider it to be on the same level. All the other stuff never quite measured up.

[@DaveH82]

I like how they changed going to other galaxies to going to planets within our galaxy.

[@Dash277]

James Spader was so good in this. I love the beginning of this movie so much. Him cracking the code. So good.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

James Spader is always good

[@kipford9596]

Loved your reaction to Stargate!! This movie made such an impact that it spawned a TV show, which in turn sparked 3 other spin off shows! You should definitely check them out!

[@CarolinaCharles777]

I love that Jen prefers practical effects over CGI. Couldn't agree more!

[@Yora21]

CGI effects can look just as great, if you take the time to do all the work. Bad CGI is usually done to be faster and cheaper, and so it looks faster and cheaper done.

[@CarolinaCharles777]

Respectfully disagree. I think we've just convinced ourselves it looks just as good. CGI is at its best when it supports a scene, not when it's the focus of one. At least IMO.

[@jacob4920]

There are times when each method of special effects is better than the other. In the big picture, no science fiction film would be complete without either. It's up to the director to make certain that each is used properly, in its' own best case, and to make certain the CGI is the best it can possibly be. Because bad CGI can ruin a scene, as much as great CGI can make a scene ICONIC!

[@bryanbrady877]

Some of us cook rather than microwave. Maybe I enjoy my furniture reeking of a culinary victory. With practical effects, I enjoy it on the surface and also appreciate the work that went into creating what I see. Like sitting near the kitchen, you enjoy the experience. CGI is CGI. It's awesome. Takes talent. YAAAYyawn. I don't mean to come across as elitist, how frequently do you support your local theatrical troupe? No Fx, just acting. The core of this medium.

[@Enthymene]

One of the things that keeps this movie going briskly and makes it a delight to watch is that basically everyone is clever, competent, and perceptive. Whether it's earthlings figuring out alien technology, displaced humans figuring out terrestrial firearms, learning to communicate, uncovering their shared, suppressed history, adapting to wildly shifting battles and political realities... everyone does what they do with full commitment in this story.

[@LoricSwift]

Yeah watching this back in 1994 was a trip you could say. Loving your enthusiasm, great video as always!

[@williamblakehall5566]

Kurt Russell's crew cut is one of this movie's greatest FX. It's so laser sharp, it could shave delicatessen meat.

As already mentioned in the comment section, this movie spawned 1 of the best sci-fi action/pseudo-comedy ever, Stargate SG-1. So if you liked this movie, the TV series is 10x better simply because they had way more time to develop all the mythology, alien lore and characters.

What Jackson says about getting the vowels right is spot-on. Egyptians didn’t write down vowels, only consonants. So we have don’t know how Ancient Egyptian actually sounded, we can just make educated guesses based on similar languages.

Ok, earlier, when Ra's Jaffa in their Death Gliders ("Him-shiao" according to Skaara) were bombing the village you could hear them shouting "Rihu Nane!" Maybe that was part of it, but I get the meaning to be either "Ra is Victorious" or "Do not defy Ra". At times we hear Skaara shouting "Nane! Nane!" so it may simply mean "no" or imply negativity.. " At 30:42 Skaara is drawing with chalk on a slate, and when Daniel asks him what he's writing he says "Nena-khai", which in the subtitles reads "The day of our victory." In the next scene, after they bushwhack the Jaffa supervising their daily tasks Kasuf urges them all to kneel and pray to Ra for forgiveness, but then Daniel triggers the collapse button on their helmets and says "Yememaye naturu-ti! Yememaye!" (Take a look at your Gods! Take a good look!) Earlier in the film Sha'Uri (In the series she is renamed Sha'Re for easier pronunciation) shows Daniel how to pronounce the letters of their language. ("Nedjer-u" became "Naturu" and so on...". So it would seem to me that Abydan, which is supposed to be based on Tuareg or Berber or the language of the Old Kingdom of Kemet (their word for Egypt) is at least a semi-agglutinative language

[@cindylou3205]

SG-1 ended up being a tremendous show, right up your alley, though I prefer Stargate Atlantis. Starts with somewhat corny, one episode space adventures, but turns into great arc space adventures with greatly written adventurers (team!), then into some pretty epic stuff. Give it a try- but if you do, keep going even if you don't love the first few episodes. I really think you'll love this world. And the fanfic is LEGENDARY, especially for SGA.

[@shainewhite2781]

7:55, this is awesome how they did this: they filmed a water tank, but with the camera tilted on its side, while the VFX artists dumped bricks or rocks as well as large quantities of Alka Seltzer to give it that foamy look. They used a little bit of CGI to remove the bricks.

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

Roland Emmerich did Godzilla (1998) its kind of a cult based movie nowdays, and billion times better than we got after 2000's. He also did The Day After Tomorrow (2004), which btw imo is the best distaster movie in that period in time when everyone and their mother were doing disaster movies.

Thanks jen , love this movie. The tv show spin-offs were wonderful. Stargate sg1 . Is a sequal to this ran for 10 seasons. ( made in Canada) they made several spin-off tv series as well .

The actor French Stewart who played Harry in 3rd Rock from the Sun played one of the soldiers in this movie.

[@namelessjedi2242]

The key to why Independence Day and Stargate were so good is probably Emmerech’s collaboration with Dean Devlin. I never thought he did as well on his own. They also did a Godzilla movie together after those two, which was not well received, and that seems to be when they quit working together.

[@donaldseale2700]

Spoilers ahead if you haven't watched the shows. When Daniel said that he didn't know who built the Pyramids. Did anyone notice the sarcastic remark about people from Atlantis? Obviously he wasn't talking about the Gates at that time, but I just found that to be a pretty neat coincidence.

This is a real issue we have with Egyptian hieroglyphics as they in general do not indicate the vowels. A simple example is the name of Egypt in the Egyptian language. In hieroglyphics is appears as kmt, and it has been a tradition among Egyptologists to pronounced this as Kemet. But I think newer research has shown that it was actually pronounced more like Kumat. The same is shown in the scene between Daniel and Sha'uri, Daniel in general gets the consonants right but vowels is what needs to be figured out. Also, O'Neil's quote that "no one should ever have to outlive their own child". Well, as someone who has, I felt that.

I loved Spader's everyman nerdy lecturer solves-it-in-a-day character so much. But especially the lady that hires him, Swedish actress, Viveca Lindfors, who was also in Rob Reiner's The Sure Thing as a prof. She just has such gravitas. I hope you do 2012, it's just so much awesome cheesiness 😂

Thank you for reacting to one of my favourite movies. It clearly went under the radar here on youtube.👌

Boy, Jen!!! That was so much fun. One of my favorite movies, and I was surprised you'd not done it yet. What a treat! "Stargate" spawned a TV series (in which Colonel O'Neil became Colonel O"Neill [with two "L"s] and was portrayed by Richard Dean Anderson). One of his requirements for doing the role was that he could inject his own personal style of comedic sarcasm...in other words...much less stiff. Ran for ten, yes ten, years, befores spawning two other sequels. The TV series was extremely entertaining and had atypically fantastic music. David Arnold really drew you into the movie, didn't he! Fabulous music. Well, ya know how you wouldn't expect a TV series to have music on that level, but it did. Get this...familiar with one of the best film composers of all time, Jerry Goldsmith? Welp, a very close study to him, his son, Joel Goldsmith did the music to the TV series. You're busy out the wazoo, so I don't know if you'd ever have time, but, I will tell you, if you ever decided to do a TV series, you'd really enjoy the TV series, "Stargate SG-1."

Another movie of his : 2012. I watched this with my 5 years old niece and I told her it actually happened like that in 2012 and it was a documentary. And since then we rebuilt the world. The boat in the movie is even the same that we took to survive. Epic joke to make to a kid. Anyway the movie Stargate is pretty cool but the show is even better. Well not all episodes but a lot of them are really awesome.
