eliyesGuess what I watched? (See subject for clue. XD) Stargate that's a) not Atlantis, and b) not featuring Jack! Shocking, I know.
This was less like a movie and more like a big SG-1 episode with an unusually large budget dedicated to Epic Fucking Scenery. (It was an OAV! Without the A.) There were, of course, a few characters whose appearance would have had more of an impact on me had I actually been a regular watcher of the show (and thus... known who they were; at least one Big Dramatic Reveal was totally lost on me), but they were sufficiently explained (or demonstrated in context) so I got by. The story was good. It wrapped up some loose ends from SG-1, but left some new ones to possibly contend with later, and it had much suspense and drama and heroic action.
Highlights for me included the Epic Fucking Scenery (the opening few minutes, primarily -- seriously, whoa), Teal'c's awesome character-illustrating speech of awesomesauce (and other awesome moments -- I love Teal'c), Sam being badass and adorably Team, a couple of Daniel moments (although a few were kind of "...ehhhn" for me), Vala being totally standable and having cute shiny bobbles in her hair, and Cameron doing likeable things. He's still an ass, but I guess he's growing on me. Perhaps he'd do so even better if I watched more things that don't have him interacting with Rodney in ways that made me dislike him? It could be! ;O I like his apocryphal Grandma... although come to think of it, every time he mentions her I'm reminded ever so slightly of Moto from (the original) Biker Mice From Mars. :D;;
Still, this is going to stay a renter for me. I didn't like it well enough to want to own a copy of my very own, alas. That might change someday if I get more into SG-1 in general. I recommend SG-1 fans check it out, though -- you'll probably like it.
