[@ExplodingPiggy]

I always thought it was weird they had a "molecular deconstruction" screen for members of the team, even though they had no idea that would happen beforehand.

[@nehorlavazapalka]

even worse: star maps

[@ExplodingPiggy]

@@nehorlavazapalka ikr, how did that positioning system work?!

[@netflixandchinchilla]

@@nehorlavazapalka I wondered that too when I first saw this movie as a kid, but now as an adult the starmap kind of makes sense. The stargates connected to other stargates through a network, so it is essentially like the internet with each gate being a server. I suppose they traced the signal to the other gate and got coordinates on its location the same way you can get a rough location on a computer just from its IP address.

[@StevoDesign]

@@netflixandchinchilla uh, that's not how it works. IP addresses don't have some sort of magical mapping to geographic location. We only know the location of a given IP address because our ISPs (who assign us those addresses) keep track of our address and so on. However, in the movie the sequences _do_ map to locations because each symbol corresponds to a constellation and with six constellations you can pinpoint a smaller area of space. So you're right that the star maps would've been useful but not because of some analogy to our internet.

[@TonyP9279]

...or which side was the front side, and right side up and that the wormhole is one way.

[@ValeriePallaoro]

Excellent selection of shots from a very great film. James Spader's ability to project aww, shock, and amazement is impressive. Doubly so because we've all seen the 'behind the scenes' dvd shorts by now. That little misstep of surprise when they cut to the pyramid is just consummate acting skill extraordinairre! Of course, the series was wonderful, but this film's actors take the cake. Big cake. Brilliant film. Thanks for this reminder of how very wonderful it is.

[@mmyers6441]

The Stargate actually has a great sound effect in 5.1 Dolby Digital. You almost are in it. Even the old Laser Disc sounded fantastic.

[@DadBooom]

When he sees the pyramid on other side, i can't imagine the thrill of realizing they were indeed built by aliens, and that our earliest civilizations were not of this earth

[@haveatyou1]

I think it was the moons they were thrilled by

[@RyanBlazeheart]

Nope. All along they were people from ancient Earth stolen away by Ra. So they built something based off the original Pyramid of Egypt. and still carried the same language.

[@xXx8021]

The pyramids WERE built by humans & not aliens. That was never in dispute in movies like this. Or even by the likes of Eric Von Daiken - who first theorised that the 'Gods' from ancient mythology were extraterrestrials that visited our most ancient ancestors & gave them the 'knowledge' to build a Civilisation, while they worshiped the aliens as God's, that inspired the original myths from so many cultures. Sci Fi franchises like Stargate & Battlestar Galactica are based on Von Daiken's narrative of his theories from his books like; 'Chariots of the Gods'. In real life they've even proven the Pyramids at Giza, as well as the more ancient 'step' pyramid at 'The City of the Dead' were built by humans. And discovery of the techniques used to build them place the build time at much shorter that the '500 years' (give or take' I was taught at school. But those stone blocks, it's been found, were 'fitted' together with highly advanced mathematical formula that would give some of the most powerful modern mainframe computers a serious challenge! So while there's no disputing that the pyramids *were* built by humans - specifically the slaves that were doing the manpower - I don't think its something to be 'weaponised' by many in the scientific community to dismiss Von Daiken as a 'crackpot' & banish him to society's 'outer fringes' as they have. Because while the pyramids were built, maybe even designed by humans, *Where did they get the knowledge of such advanced mathematical formula that was used so well to build the pyramids?!* 🤔 The implication in the movie, of that pyramid being built by human slaves, abducted by Ra (Egyptian Sun God in real life Ancient Egyptian Mythology) - just as Von Daiken implies with the real Pyramids of Egypt or South America is that those humans obtained the 'knowledge' (mathematics etc) from 'somewhere / someone else'... 👆

[@PsycosisIncarnated]

@@xXx8021>there is no disputing that the pyramids were built by humans. Poor you, its literally right in front of your face being shown by hollywood, we still cant understand how they were built yet you are adamant that us puny humans built them, when hundreds of hieroglyphic writings showcase the descent of extraterrestrials helping and eventually taking control of humanity. You think hollywood just makes movies for fun? 😂😂

[@PsycosisIncarnated]

@@xXx8021love how you are adamant that humans built them but still unable to explain how. You think hollywood does these movies for your entertainment? 😂

[@Teckno77]

I never really understood they had 6 of the 7 symbols worked out, why didn't they just go through the rest to find the last one, surely it's just a numbers game and it's not like they didn't have the time or resources and there's only so many on the gate to try as they only needed the last one. I know it's all fantasy and that but ya know, great film though!

[@brandoncruise6398]

I don’t think this will never happen, but for years I have thought that the perfect way to end the TV show Sliders on a good note would be to cross it over with Stargate. In this movie it is made clear in an earlier scene that Stargate Hass to have more than one point of contact so people can get back-and-forth to the same locations. In Sliders there is a point of origin, but no systematic set location of any sort. They had to rely on pure luck to get anywhere, whereas with a Stargate you can return to your point of origin.

Havent watched the movie in a very long time, need to rewatch it soon. But I also didnt even realize until today that Jack O'Neill was legit the first tau'ri to walk through the gate (altho of course some others did in ancient times when Ra discovered Earth and took a human host). So perhaps Jack was the first modern tau'ri. Crazy.

[@marior.5796]

I have a little correction for you. In the Stargate Universe (Movies + TV Series), the first (modern) Tau'ri walking through the Stargate was Ernest Littlefield, Catherine Langford's love (TV SG1 S1 E11). If you only referring to the Movie, than it was Jack O'Neil (one L) and not Jack O'Neil (two L) from the TV Serie. That are two different characters. The first one is more serious and the second one much lighter as a person. Therefore the running gag "Captain Jack O'Neill with two L's" in SG1

Amazing that the gate knows, when to start the teleportation. I mean otherwise, if you put your hand through it, the hand should be ripped off and teleported.

[@deadturret4049]

It only sends objects/people that are fully through the event horizon. This becomes a major plot point in episodes of Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe.

[@midnighttrain-jz2my]

@@deadturret4049 Ok, but still, there is a bug i this whole concept. Even in a (normal) strong gravitational field, an object undergoes severe shear forces that would rip one apart. This concept of teleportation is not much more realistic than the beaming in Star Trek (, actually less)😏 Anyways, i think from a physical point of view, it is more likely that one of us could someday walk through a wall, due to quantum theory, than being beamed somewhere, or going through a stargate.

I don't think they even know they needed a 7th symbol in the first place. And even if they did know, the power output requirement to dial the gate looked painfully high. Brute forcing to get a good dial (again, only if they knew 7 was needed in the first place) could be too painful for the higher ups to justify it.

[@deadturret4049]
