Stargate Origins

I was really excited to see a new stargate series, however, unless you just HAVE to see everything stargate, I would skip this one.

Bad acting, poor special effects, several scenes are just unbelievable, the men are all evil or incompetent cowards (I enjoy strong women, but there is no reason to make all of the men so unlikable to have that), several small pointless inconsistencies with the original series. Feels like a very amateur attempt. They could have done SO much better.

Since I heard about the project some time ago I have been waiting patiently for it's release. I am a massive fan of all things Stargate, having watched the original movie, SG 1, Atlantis, Universe and loved the lot of them. It's fair to day I was pretty disappointed when Universe was cancelled.

So the premise for this was already pretty well known, let's make a prequel and show what happened when they first found the Stargate.

The whole thing seems like a college project. The acting is amateur, the story is dull and corny. The effects aren't even that good.

To me this looks like one thing and that's a way for them to cash in on a popular franchise.

If your a fan you will watch this anyway and no doubt be disappointed but if your not and just planned watching it anyway then save your time. A real let down, the 2 stars is me being generous and I give it mainly for the music.

The acting is so bad...it makes you cringe! You can never fully appreciate good acting until you see very bad acting.

Cringy (over-)acting and a camera technique on potentially less than B-movie level, combined with a dull, simplistic story, poorly written dialogue and unmemorable audio/music. Approach this like Alien rather than Stargate: Kill it before it lays eggs.

For the past 10 years or so I have not felt the urge to make an account here, what alone to make a comment about it.

I just finished watching the first 3 episodes and this is an disappointment to the Stargate franchice, the CGI is obviously all done by green screen but this obviously looks even worse then the first SG1 episode that came out.

Acting is terrible, the story is terrible and just everything about this is terrible..

I will of course watch the rest of the episodes no matter how bad they are just because it's Stargate but this is just bad, even what we learned from SG1 from what happened before means nothing here and it seems the storyline here will just go random from here on.

Sorry for being this salty but this is just bad..
