Goofs:

Plot holes: At the end of the movie, Carter uses the Stargate to send Mitchell back in time by dialing to a point through a solar flare. However in the series whenever such a phenomenon took place, the "team" would return back to the Stargate they departed from, in a different time. Therefore, Mitchell should have appeared in the Stargate on the same planet with the time machine in the year 1929. Not Earth. Furthermore, should this be ignored entirely, the Earth gates in the year 1929 were both buried. One in Egypt and one in Antarctica. There is no way Mitchell could have gotten to Earth.

Quotes:

Major General Jack O'Neill: [discussing Vala's disappearance] Oh for cryin' out loud. She prob'ly just went to the bathroom. I'm next in line, by the way.

Worth the time

Well there will always be a difference in opinions, and mine does somewhat stray from the negative. I've enjoyed watching SG-1 over the years and still find pleasure in hunting down the latest episode of Atlantis. That said i did enjoy this movie, both for it's originality in plot and because it stays true to the series. Way to often have we seen movies that were more like spin offs than anything. You could argue that this could have been just another double header, but the shere amount of known characters in ever so small parts shows that this one has been done for the love of the show and fans, rather than "just in it for the money" I'd like to give it a 10 out of 10, but i also have to maintain a certain level of reality, where 10/10 is reserved for movies that stretches my imagination. I won't be talking about this for several months to come, but i will however make sure that all my fellow SG-1 fans know that this exist and is well worth their time.
