excellent pilot
Have seen the original Stargate with Kurt Russellone I didn't like that much i had to pick up the series because it was told that it was one of the best SF series ever released.
The first 10 minutes we go a bit back to the original Stargate from 1994. In fact, the whole original flick is told in a few minutes. Out the old cast in comes the new cast. But not only that, in comes more of SF then the 1994 version. Let me say that this isn't a remake, it continues what was left after 1994. Of course being a pilot it goes back to the planet Abydos because the military base were the stargate is hold is being visited by those old Egyptian Gods again and one soldier is captured. So Col. O'Neill (good old MacGyver Richard Dean Anderson) is back in business to visit Abydos with his soldiers.
I was afraid once on Abydos that it would be blah blah like in Stargate (1994)but the action came on early this time. The effects were also much better. But were the 1994 version failed script wise this does deliver. They are only a few minutes on Abydos before they are back on earth to go back on another mission. It's there that we are learning the characters. Of course things go a bit wrong and characters are lost into space. And new ones arrive. Before you know it this flick is over with one mission, save the lost ones. From there on Stargate moved into a 10 year series with his up and downs but this flick, clearly low budget but it works fine and is as I said over before you know it.
