Trivia:

The code that Sam is trying to modify in order to stop the replicators to replicate, it's actually JavaScript, the code used to program Internet browser behaviors. The functions are valid and usable, and one function has the purpose of opening a pop-up window.

Goofs:

Continuity: At the end of the film, when Sam is walking down the hall into the gate room, she is holding the P-90 in her right hand and cap in her left. In the next shot from inside the gate room, her left hand holds the gun, while the right has the cap.

Movie Connections:

Follows "Stargate SG-1" (1997)

Very quick and worth the wait

As a StarGate fan since 1997 and since the first season, I'd have to say I'm glad to have it back! The movie moved very fast and although it did seem a little forced at times it still had a few twists. We got to see a few surprise enemies and friends come back from the dead. I wish we could have seen more from the rest of the StarGate universe especially what happens after the face. Especially old friends, and although I don't care much for Ben Browder or Claudia Black it just wouldn't have been right with them not there. I would have loved to see Richard Dean Anderson back with the team at least for a few minutes but I'll just have to wait tell July...
