Bad acting, Very low budget. It does not follow the Stargate timeline. This is a VERY poor addition to the franchise. Too bad, I really love Stargate, but this is a pain to watch. Seriously, do not even try. At least, it is my recommendation.
Wowww. I'm hardcore Stargate fan and I am very excited to see this season or movie!!!!

I have mixed feelings after watching the whole thing. I appreciate what they tried to do - however the budget and the acting left much to be desired, especially the gate itself (you can tell it's plastic).
That said, it did pick up near the end - I almost feel the pacing was backwards - the start was slow, then they rushed a lot out in the final 2-3 episodes. I really like the idea behind it now that the whole 10 episodes are out, as it does provide some interesting context to the original movie.
If you're a Stargate fan, don't expect much here - it's a nice bit of context and a new low-budget movie. Not horrible, but nothing special.
Now on to an actual Atlantis-esque show, please!
I like the 10 minutes runtime. Perfect to fill gaps here and there. The budget is pretty low. That’s not great for science fiction genre. But so far it’s enjoyable.
I think the very short format and low budget will push them to be more creative. And it shouldn’t get boring with filler episodes and stuff. Only actions and storyline development.
Looking forward to the rest. Only saw 3 episodes.
It's slow to start, picks up and ends with a thud. As somebody who has watched Atlantis, it's also weird to see Connor Trinneer play a second character in the same universe.
I'd say after the first 2-3 episodes everything is a solid 7-8 until it isn't. The deeper you get in the series, the worse the CGI gets, the more ridiculous the characters get and the more things go off the rails. Episode 10 turns into what plays out and looks like a student film. That miss on the final episode really hurts this production.
I Grew up on Stargate with its witty humour and epic action. It is the best sci-fi franchise in all of my tv viewings. I only wish they completed the Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe franchise'. Definitely one to watch from begining to end!
A well written cartoonish prequel for the original movie with nothing in common with the series unfortunately.
So as a hardcore fan of Stargate is have mixed feelings so far.
An episode is only 10 minutes long,
they have 10 episodes planned from what I can tell meaning it's 1 hour and 40 minutes long.
So this is a kind of movie split in to 10 pieces.
As it's about the 'Origin'
In the first 4 episodes I have seen quite a few mistakes about the Stargate us.
for example: The Stargate used in the movie they puke there guts out because our side has no stabilisers for the ride.
other example: activating a symbool requires it to be placed on top where it's locked, not at the position where a light is...
The acting is ...
Well the acting so far is below average expect for Connor Trinneer he is awesome.
But the rest of the cast are not really impressive.
Edited:
So I watched the full series... and I have to add a point 4..
The special effects
They are horrible, I have a little experience with special effects and I could do a better job then is shown in the series.
The end
So the series has a poor beginning and even in the middle of the series it's hard to follow anything because the
story is just boring but then the end... That's just hard to watch (I mean almost everybody dies in the end) that's not
the hard part. The hard part is how they try to wrap it all up and make it 'sound' like this is the reason why the rest
of the series have been made. (All the other series of Stargate...)
wtf is this s*** 10 minutes thas not enough
I do not like the 10 minute format, but always love some stargate. I hope this leads to something else be it movies or a series. Ellie Gall is fairly good as Catherine, though I find it a bit hard to believe the german soldiers would be so lacking in any indications of intelligence. The one left to guard her didn't seem like he was capable of tying his own shoelaces.
Interesting so far. Looks like its got some ground to cover.
This just bummed me out.
We wanted a new series MGM, we didn't want this. also when making a prequel, please don't go against cannon you weebs.
I wanted it to be good.... but it s very very bad. From the VFX to the acting and don't even get me started on what they call a scenario...
So much potential. Yet very hard to watch. The story is fine. The acting was slightly sub-par. But what really bothers me was the “omega male” men. The whole movie is about the characters not able to speak up when needed, or not listening, or just flubberying around.
As a Stargate fan, I couldn't bring myself to finish watching these. Poor poor acting
That could have been much better if they had not decided to turn it into a comedy. I do not mind the low budget quality or the format. If you binge it it's like watching a movie. What I do mind is sitcom-like humor, constantly bickering characters, and satirized Nazi soldiers. Anyway, the Nazis - always the Nazis. At least make them fearful and not laughable.
I don't think it is in any way neccessary to watch this to understand anything better.
This was a major bummer. 10 minutes shows sucked the big one. At the very least they should have just released it all at once and called it a movie. Really wish they would come out with another REAL Stargate series.
Even SGU webisodes were more interesting than this, webisodes were not giving much
It's a letdown in every aspect, shame for the stargate franchise. I wish if this crap would never be aired in this form.
Aside from a few continuity issues, this has been a fun series of shorts so far. I've been enjoying the humor -- anything that can get several good chuckles out of me in 10 minutes or so is high on my fav list. They've done a pretty good job with the familiar SG-U ancient Egyptian vocabulary from the movie and SG series' of which we all know and love. I'm looking forward to the next episodes.
10 min is very short. anyway.... it make a huge mistake because in the original movie they don't now how to activate the 7 symbol and Catherine now already....
Wtf, 10 mins wtf!!! That just sucks 2 watch 10 mins & with the credits u get 2 watch maybe 6 mins of the show, wtf
10 min episodes do not work very very very disappointed. If this carries on it will ruin the stargate brand
It's hard doing a prequel especially one about first contact and stay in Canon. It's actually a joy to watch really wish it was more than 1 hour or so of on screen goodness.
Yeah wish it was longer but still interesting.
Yeah wish it was longer but still interesting.
