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.

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.

From what I understand, this series was made to show that people are still interested in a SG universe and to have a studio take notice and release a new show.

What they have done is pretty much put a nail in the coffin of said universe. They have blatantly done things to anger the fans who were actually waiting eagerly for a continuation of the universe, therefore greatly reducing the chances that a studio will take a chance on spending money to get a real show developed.

I could live with many things until the show and "actors" would find its feet, bad acting, bad dialogue, etc., but going against cannon makes me question if the people who put this together were ever really fans in the first place.

I will stick to rewatching the old series' and hope that some studio will achieve the potential of the SG universe, because this amateurly put together show certainly has not.

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.

So of course I'm a huge fan of the series because SG1 was freaking awesome. I saw the first 30 min intro tonight. Feels like armature and weird directing style. Just feels unnatural and fake (lol all TV is fake) but you know what I mean.

Hopefully it will get better but so far I'm bummed because Stargate is an awesome franchise and I hate to see it get buried for a few more years.

You'll know what I mean when you watch it... like it's as if a Youtuber made a fan film or something. Sorry to be harsh and it's not like I could do any better.

You know what I'm going to re watch all 10 Seasons of SG1 and wait for the next round.
