Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods (1997)
Great Show!
This pilot episode launches the best series of all time. The two-hour movie length premiere was definitely worth watching. With the introduction of Captain Doctor Samantha Carter, Teal'c and Major General Hammond as a replacement for General West, the formation of SG-1 and the deeper plot lines, this makes for one of the shows best episode. I still stick with that, even after five years and over 100 episodes. This is undoubtably must-see TV.
Stargate (1994)
Good Plot
Stargate: The Movie was definitely not as good as the TV show that followed, but still watchable. James Spader makes the perfect (next to Michael Shanks) confused archaeologist in a military world. The plot advances and expands in the best way, and the ending is a good one - probable and possible, not far-fetched and unbelievable. It's definitely a good start, carried on through the many new ideas that Stargate SG-1 brings along in the next six years. Looking for ward to Stargate SG-1: The Movie, the general sequel to this one!
The Void (2001)
Watchable
This movie was enjoyable, if you basically ignored all the giant holes in the plot. Pretty good for a Canadian movie made up of primarily Canadian actors. I watched this mostly because Amanda Tapping was in it as the lead role - I love her in Stargate SG-1 and was looking forward to seeing her as a different role in different scenarios. Instead, I was disappointed to find she played almost the exact same character, minus the military status, dealing with an improbable out-of-control black hole, exactly like in the Stargate episode A Matter of Time. The ending was also rather improbable - more holes - but it was one of those bad, enjoyable movies.
