I give it a 4 stars. There are many that didn't quite love it, but the way I see it, it was an experimental film so the writers can gauge what works and what doesn't for today's generational audience. It was obviously a low budget film but everyone should remember - the writers are still very much involved in making a new series based off the three SG series even now. We should be thankful that this movie was made to pass the time as we await what comes down the Stargate wire!
