Cheap Trick
15 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Let's rewrite half of what we know about Catherine and her work with the Stargate and then use the incredibly cheap trick of a memory wipe to reconcile it.

But that wasn't nearly the only reason this movie is bad. The acting is mostly bad. The story line is cliche. The dialogue is juvenile.

The characters are equally bad. I hated Catherine. Among other things, yes let's spit in the face of the Nazi when he's holding a gun, your hands are tied and he's already threatening murder and mayhem. Don't get me started on the head Nazi. Beal - meh, but not terrible. Wasif - was he a comedic sidekick? Aset - I never figured out why she didn't kill them all from the start and they could have made her a little less Goth which was no favor to her appearance. Could Ra speak any slower?

Apparently the budget wasn't big enough to have the number of Jaffa that should have been around - the temple was practically empty.

There's just too many problems to name. However, I usually reserve 1 star for movies that have something offensive. This movie was just bad and a real disappointment for what could have been given the franchise and the opportunities. Instead we get a story that basically never happened because of the memory wipe.
