Stargate Origins

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 love of god, they ended that show with a massive cliffhanger. Why did they even make this one when you already had a great show (universe) ready for revival??!! what the actual...?!

I was so excited to hear about Origins, and had no idea this was going to be such a low budget amateurish affair. It looks like something a film student would do on a shoestring budget as his first production.

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.
