The First Two HBO Episodes
by Fred Rayworth (Las Vegas, NV United States)
My wife picked this up, thinking it was a new movie, since they've done several after the original series ended. However, it was soon apparent that this was the first two episodes that were shown on HBO before Sci-Fi (SyFy) bought them out.
The episodes are essentially intact except they took out the nude scene with Daniel Jackson's wife. That makes me wonder what else is missing, however I saw it so many years ago I'm not sure what else they tampered with.
It is a great introduction to the series. Same setting as the original movie, but a different cast of main characters. At first I was wondering if they would ruin the premise of the original classic movie with Kurt Russell and James Spader. However, the new SG-1 took over the torch and performed very honorably to the original intent. For the past decade I've watched every episode and seen the changes as the cast develops. It was refreshing to see how they were originally introduced.
If you were looking for a totally new movie, this is not for you. If you are a big fan, then you've probably seen this already. However, I really enjoyed a second visit. Highly recommended.
1/5
Poorly done
by Rob K (Canada)
This project seemed like a waste of money right from its first announcement, and the final product has done nothing to dispel that notion.
Here, we see that the showrunners have jazzed up old effects to be more in line with current ones--which now means that the snazzy new effects look great, but are completely out of context if you're to watch this and then move on to the next episode of the regular series. Certain scenes have also been hacked to pieces in the interest of "flow", but as a result come across choppy (sometimes to the point of near-gibberish).
They've also re-cut certain parts of the feature so that it stands up on its own. This is especially puzzling. It doesn't stand on its own; it's not a proper sequel to the original film, it's the pilot episode of a 10-season-long series. Likewise certain things have been edited so they make more context in the sense of the series, despite the obvious intention of trying to make this standalone. The result is a puzzling and somewhat frustrating exercise in this being a cut which really doesn't know which side of the fence it's on.
The price for this items is also more than a bit ridiculous, for something that's already available in a slightly less polished form at a FRACTION of the price, as part of the complete first season boxset.
Save your money: buy the season 1 set instead. This one isn't worth the asking price.
2/5
Worth a spot on your Netflix Queue, but nothing more.
by Patrik Hankamer (TX United States)
My wife and I rented this "re-edit" of the original pilot through Netflix, and I'm really glad we didn't buy it. For the most part, they didn't change much.
I enjoyed what little updated special effects they put in. but it wasn't the big "Ooo, aah!" moment it was hyped to be.
Editing out the nudity ... I can see both sides of the argument. On the one side, Showtime wanted it, MGM didn't. On the other, the forced nudity established that humans are nothing more but cattle to the Goa'uld. Although basically that happens in the re-edit, it's not as shocking as the original.
Re-dubbing Teal'c's voice was a plus. Taking out Carter's "reproductive organs" line was a win. No one ever liked that line. The show writers even made fun of it later on in the series. Taking out the "Macguyver" line was a fail. That line was always hilarious and a nod to Anderson's previous work.
My biggest beef with the re-edit is that they took out the Goa'uld taking over Kawalsky's body. Which would in turn change the plot of the series. Without that takeover, they wouldn't have had to Kawalsky in "The Enemy Within" and he would, I think, have played a major role in the series as the leader of SG-2. However, the writers of the show loved writing time travel and alternate realities into episodes, so this could be explained away with one of those theories I guess.
Bottom line - it's worth the rent. Just don't buy it.

replay
by Ernest Sherman Jr.
I was a bit disappointed with this film. I had expected something other than a replay of the series opener. Although it was updated and revised in some minor areas. I most likely would not have purchased this DVD had the advertisements had indicated what we were getting. Why? because most Stargate fans have and will see this in TV reruns.
