Fans of the “Stargate” TV series will be happy that
MGM has revisited the original pilot extending it, adding
new visual effects to enhance the original pilot episode
and allowed actor Christopher Judge to “revoice” essentially
improving his performance from the original pilot episode.
“Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods” established the longest
running U.S. science fiction TV show and established a new
franchise outside of the “Star Trek” universe. ***
This new expanded version of the original pilot takes
place a year after the original 1994 feature film “Stargate”.
Colonel Jack O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), Captain Sam
Carter (Amanda Tapping) leave for planet Abydos to defend
the natives from the villain Ra. Ra or some other alien
impersonating Ra kidnaps Dr. Daniel Jackson ‘s (Michael
Shanks) wife and her brother. It’s up to O’Neill, Carter
and Jackson to track Ra down and save Jackson’s wife helping
to defend Earth and other planets against the threat of
the Gou’ald. Eventually joined by Teal’c (Christopher Judge)
who served Ra at one time, this diverse team would continue
on through 10 seasons and a number of TV movies to wrap
up the series story arc. ---
Image & Sound: The pilot movie looks quite nice with
a nice, robust transfer. Colors are nice throughout and
the new CGI effects included are blended in quite nicely.
Audio sounds extremely good with a nice 5.1 Dolby Surround
mix. The new 5.1 mix has a nice kick.
