[@gavinlynas2833]

I don't know about golden age but they really knew how to put the emotion into things using music, which makes what you're seeing much more impactful. The actors were also premium quality. If we could combine that with the advancements of modern television, minus the all the bravado, it would be amazing.

[@BOND19951]

Love this theme. It is underrated. Love the movie and the TV series.

[@thenarrator1984]

Tv show was a travesty

[@cosmind002]

indeed

[@faceisfunny3]

It doesn't seem like many movies are scored like this anymore, this has that exciting, empowering kind of tone that completely draws you into the adventure. I would say, personally, it's similar to the John Williams scores like ET and Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park. All adventure type movies, when you hear the music you get that pang of nostalgia and you recall the first time you saw it and every other time you saw it and the way it makes you feel every time. I was little when I first saw this movie on TV and I could recall was when the gate opened the first time and I remembered Kurt Russels face and Spaders hair and glasses. I thought I didn't remember much else, and then I bought the movie, sat down the other day to watch it and as the theme played, I remembered seeing it on a saturday afternoon on TV. And like I said, nostalgia hit me and I remembered it all. And I love it.

[@alandoril1]

faceisfunny3 Probably because most composers don't write themes any more, they just fill their scores with loads of "Inception" sounds and rambling nonsense. The idea of creating a proper thematic soundscape for films seems to have gone out of fashion, which is a huge shame.

[@audsign9754]

Horner stole this for troy. I love this theme. wish the movie incorporated more history and mystery. The glasses guy should have also left with them. If only it became like indiana jones!!

[@Akhibrass]

This is true. If you search KZbin some guy has a video about that. Changes in how directors edit films has had a negative effect on scoring. Now they all sound like generic Hans Zimmer.

[@Kawayoporu]

+faceisfunny3 Like you said ET, but what about Star Wars scores he made?

I've grown up in an era of stories. Worlds contained in books, games, television and other media. So much exploring to do, never enough time.

Such a cinematic piece of music, especially in the beginning.

[@weldonwin]

Personally, one of a reasons I feel SG-1 did so well, to make it past its early seasons and become the phenomena it was, was that they inherited the movie's big orchestral score. I really can't see SG-1 as having survived its first season without this score.

[@krasnajazvezda2708]

+weldonwin Probably the same thing with Star Trek TNG having The Motion Picture's theme.

[@Balnazzardi]

We need now more than ever continuation for Stargate... Bring back ALL of the original cast from SG1 and Atlantis who are alive and able/willing to return, write a good story with same sense of humor that the TV shows were known for and you have show that everyone will want to watch and embrace. There IS audience for such nostalgia, its just stupid how the ppl deciding about these things dont seem to realize that

[@saberiandream316]

My worst fear is it will turn out more like Universe or Origins than the previous two shows. Especially now Amazon owns it.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

@@saberiandream316 Thing is, at least with Origins, it was literally a pocket change series. Severely underfunded. Amazon can provide the funding to make the series as great as SG-1 and Atlantis, as long as they don't try to interfere with Brad's writing.

I love Stargate so much, and for one day I was really happy because it had all episodes to SG-1 and all seasons, but next day, they were ALL taken off, before I got to watch after season 1. But the movie stayed, so I watched that instead and found it was the better thing to watch with friends (since they can't watch all the seasons like me). So thank you for now I can listen to the theme that gets my friends ready for the greatness that follows.

Great cast. Soundtrack was the perfect mix of creepy mystical and triumphant victory. The writing was good. Characters were alive. The story was creative and really groundbreaking for it's time. What more can you ask for? I honestly think the fact that it isn't quite as big as star wars or star trek adds to it's charm. Makes it somewhat of a hidden gem. Or at least a little less mainstream.
