seriously what a bad movie. i liked it as a kid the one time i saw it, but watching it agian on netflix it is seriously a godawful mess. the story has such a promising idea but shits the bed the moment they enter the stargate. imagine; they teleport to a fantastical alien world...that's just a normal desert filled with human people. imagine if star wars or e.t. or any other alien movie just had regular people. even then, the rest of the movie is just super cheesy and predictable. it's literally the army fighting egyptian gods with machine guns!!! what the fuck were they smoking. what's next, sylvester stallone having a wrestling match against Zeus? it is about on the same level.

They weren't gods. What part of that point of the plot didn't you understand? They were human bodies (housing alien life) who posed as gods by having really good technology.

I felt exactly the same way. It was interesting to see where it was going at the start, but once there and we realised what it was and that's it, it quickly lost its appeal and I waited for it to be over.

I found the Stargate Universe TV show to be a lot more interesting.
