Summary: Videophile Bonus
Review: All 3 episodes on DVD are actually high resolution, anamorphic/ 16:9 widescreen enhanced - the preferred format for High Definition TV sets. This was a special treat, as the storage case does not even list this! (the "technical info" notes here at Amazon incorrectly lists it as 4:3 aspect ratio).The films themselves are a "must-have" for any Stargate or SG1 fan, & are a good way to introduce non-fans to the series. The Jack O'Neil & Daniel Jackson characters are portrayed especially well, & are far more satisfying than their counterparts in the original 1994 movie. Richard Dean Anderson in particular brings a welcome bit of humour to the role - O'Neil isn't the one dimensional semi-suicidal tough guy of the 94 movie.

Summary: Excellent a must buy !
Review: If you are at all a Stargate SG-1 fan you must buy this movie. I thought they did a very good job on encoding, however there are now special features that would have been a bonus...I just hope they make a dvd for each season with all the episodes.

Summary: The Wormhole Has Been Established!
Review: Very well done MGM Domestic Television. 16x9 Enhanced - Very Good. Picture Quality - Could Be Better. Program Content - Fantastic. On Screen Logos - None (Really Great). Commercial Breaks - None (Really Great). I have only seen this series on TV in the UK, of course minus the nude sequence. Also on UK TV, the episode titles are different! We only see the actors name e.g. Don S. Davis, but not his image. I hope MGM make the rest of the series available and with 3/4 episodes a DVD.

Summary: Great series
Review: "Stargate: SG-1" is a wonderful science fiction series and these four kick-off episodes give you a sense of what to expect (though there are better ones to come). There is a brief nude scene (which WAS in the original Showtime cablecast) after Shar-ra' was abucted from Abidos to Chulak to become a host. Whether it was gratituous or not is in the eye of the viewer. The series as a whole is full of wit, humor and just plain old smarts, even getting most of the science right. As an SF fan, "Stargate: SG-1" gets my vote for the best, first-run series on the air right now.

Summary: The Pent-Ultimate TV to Video Collector's Disc
Review: TV production companies and distributors take note: this is how a TV series should be released on video! Uncut and in its originally shot, 35mm aspect ratio. This is an excellent sci-fi series; probably about the best on TV. The pilot episode is actually better than the original theatrical movie that inspired it. The episodes on this disc set up the series nicely. If you're an SG-1 fan this disc is a must. All I can say after watching it is, "more, more, more!" I'm ready to preorder the next disc now.

Summary: Great movie, average DVD
Review: No sense in my telling you what the plot of the pilot is since it's been talked about enough. I am very happy the DVD version included not only the pilot (Children of the Gods), but also included the first two episodes (Enemy Within and Emancipation). Gives any Stargate fan who hasn't seen the series a chance to fall in love with it. Now the transfer to DVD is average at best. Lots of noise in the picture specially in dark scenes and everybody looks like they've had a bit too much of a suntan. The soundtrack, well, what can i say, i was expecting better given that it's supposed to be Dolby Digital 2.0 but it sounds like most other videotapes you may rent out there. The dialogue gets excessively muted down as soon as the action starts and very little base. Those of us who have the Stargate movie on DVD will know what I mean when the wormhole is opened and they go through the gate. The scene in that movie has enough bass to rock the house, in this DVD i had to turn the bass all the way up just for it to sound decent. Now i know i cant compare Dolby Digital and Dolby ProLogic but if they can make the soundtrack on the Terminator 2 VHS tape amaze you they can sure do the same with this DVD! Well, in conclusion, I love the DVD for having the pilot and the first two episodes but was rather disappointed with the video and audio transfer. Get it if you absolutely love the series like i do!

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This an excellent movie and a great TV series. Anyone who gives this movie less than five stars is an idiot. I think the cast of the new movie is much better than the last. Anderson is much better and more comic than Russell. And Shanks is a lot better than Spader. I think my favorite character would have to be Teal'c. (Sorry if I didn't spell that right.)

Summary: SG1 is GREAT!
Review: I have watched SG1 all the time on a local station that shows it. I LOVE the stargate storyline and think that it deserves better. This is a GREAT episode, I recommend it HIGHLY! It is both exciting and sad. (Sad if you like Skaraa or Shau'ri.) I think it is absolutely great!

Summary: It's Really Stargate 2
Review: It's good. You don't need to see the movie to understand this pilot episode. It sets up everything for the first season. The acting is on the money. (in fact at first it's hard to tell Shanks from Spader). Anderson plays O'Neill much better than Russell. I kinda wish they re-made the orginal Stargate with these two.

Summary: Begining to a great series
Review: I really liked this movie. At first I couldn't get used to the new cast (Being different from the origional movie) but once I got adjusted I like the new cast even better!
