I can’t wait for this. I turned into a huge Stargate fan when Browder and Black joined the show and I went back and got caught up.
Hopefully this and the follow up movie do well that they’ll continue the movies for Sci-Fi.
My favorite season was definitely the last one, when Browder and Black joined… Even as much as I missed Anderson.
So I was very excited to be offered a screener for this movie! I’ll be sure to right up a review as soon as I receive it.
I’ve been looking forward to this for ages, and it’s finally getting closer… 18 more days. For those interested there’s a really cool widget promoting this with pictures and videos: http://www.indiefamous.com/stargate/
Yeah, unfortunately, it doesn’t fit in a sidebar. So I can’t use it. :/
Really looking forward to seeing this!!
Thanks for the alert–I’ll definitely be looking for this. Big Browder and Black fan. I miss Farscape and didn’t get into SG:1 (despite loving the film) until Browder joined. (I had trouble seeing Anderson as anyone other than McGuyver…)
Cool!
I can’t wait for this to be released! I miss SG-1 🙁
