- Stargate was a movie, then a TV show, and is now being rebooted as a movie series again. Because that's how awesome it is... to someone. Not us. We find it to be full of sin.
Thursday: Another classic sure to piss off our haters.
Remember, no movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we expose next?!

Unsubing, because Stargate is a national fucking treasure and there is no sin in it.
even timeless classics have sins
Butthurt
Nothing is without sin, now go stand in the corner

just enjoy the funniness and quit cryin
The reason the people of Abydos look so much like humans - because they are humans.
I swear CS doesn't even listen to the movies half the time just to pad out sins
@@TeamDestiney yeah, this one is pretty bad. i usually like cinemasins, but i stopped watching halfway through cause it just seems like he keeps sinning it for not explaining things that are actually explained quite well later on (and in some cases already explained) in the movie. did he even watch this movie?
Adolfin Himler,
It's satire. It's not supposed to be taken seriously.
@@abegarfield3754 In this case, it's just low quality satire then.
Lol... I was about to say. The movie says they are stollen humans taken through the Stargate
At 5:52....the answer is YES,
The stargates only work in one way direction. By turning it on you establish a one way (outgoing) wormhole that connects to a second 'receiving' Gate.
Yes I'm an SG1 fan !
Yeah it's not that difficult to understand the logic there. You can't take an incoming call as well dial the incoming number making it also an outgoing call at the same time. Although you can send radiowaves in both directions.
Its not like you can prevent it from locking unless you got rid of the gate or sealed it as the egyptians did.
Peaceful Explorer using a phone comparison is just stupid lol. the call itself established a two way connection, and the only purpose of a phone is for voice to go back and forth. The wormholes sole purpose is sending people.
Shel kek nem ron, Jaffa
Allways presumed that one-way travel was just a safety feature, implemented by the Ancients, so that matter stream woldn't come from both ends at the samy time and crosscontaminate or something))
A lot of the "sins" are because the guy is not paying attention. For example, he goes on about why Jack was reactivated but the movie makes it obvious that they specifically chose him because it was potentially a suicide mission. Also, why would the characters "know" the gate would need seven symbols? Why would they go with six symbols and them try each symbol? The Stargate has more than seven chevrons on it.
In the TV show Daniel gives an alien chocolate and says, "I met my father-in-law like this." :D
Not containing Richard Dean Anderson... *DING*
well he did sin for that.
+blizkine he was also in an episode of the Simpsons.
Steven Holt And Dan Castellaneta was in an episode of SG1.
Did you know that line was actually ad libbed by Amanda tapping in her audition and it entertained the show runners they offered her the part?
***** pmsl I love that one "RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING!"
Stuff did happen with the Gate since Giza - 1944.... Ernest Littlefeld. Never Forget.
True, but that part of the "lore" was not written or thought of when this movie was made.
True again. But still not a part of the current "lore" when this movie was made. Thus they go about things differently. That was more my point tbh.
That is true, Stargate Sg-1 is alway nostatic. this movie..meh rather just watch the series they do a pretty good job of filling in the blanks depsite not seeing the movie.
Also screw SG:U, everyting wrong with it..EVERYTHING!
I kinda like SG-U. Admittedly, it's not as good as SG-1 or even Atlantis. Also... There are already 3 feature length movies about Stargate... Which makes a reboot sound kinda... Iffy.
And in 1939!
Sin 112 isn't him being fluent in an unknown language after one night. Sha'uri didn't teach him the language she corrected his pronounciation. He already knew the language but since ancient Egyptian is a long dead language on Earth, it stands to reason that his pronounciation may be slightly off.
Especially given so much separation.
Look how different American and British English are, and that's just with an sea between them. Give it a few centuries and even with a land border you get French and Italian.
And they explained this in the movie ffs! So many of these sins were bs.
*112
She says “natur, naturu”. Egyotian is “netjer, netjeru”. - “ god, gods”. And when the guy eats the candybar, he says “bani-wey”. Egyotian is “bener-wey” - very sweet. So the language did evolve somewhat. But, as Daniel says, “once you know the vowels...”
@@Thera2400 “What does that mean?”
“I have no idea.”
;)
The tv series spinoff SG1 with Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping & Christopher Judge is so enduring and iconic. I love the show 10 years of wonderful memories.
For a lonf time I watched SG-1 and then one day rewatched stargate movie for nostalgia and I was suprised that the cast changed between movie and tv show
@@lukasprochazkaprod Indeed. It would be neat to have some sort of special that has a crossover of the OG film and the SG1 characters
I hear that a lot of people love the tv series spinoff. I always loved the movie but I just never got into the shows but I may have to watch them one of these days.
@@JR-ju3kjSG Atlantis is great, but I love SG Universe
@@JR-ju3kj
SG1 is great, but the first season is some meh
You missed the sin for the movie with the most amount of gun cocking noises ever, even though not a single one of those weapons actually makes that noise.
On a slight tangent, I've always hated watching a scene where one person has a gun pointed at someone and ready to kill them, they have some dialog, then the person cocks to gun back to show that they're even more ready to shoot. Somehow pointing the gun didn't indicate you were ready to shoot, so now you have to cock to gun to show you're really, really serious about it this time. -.-
Keltix1991
I especially love it when it's a gun that you wouldn't normally pull a hammer on like a 1911. Even better is when they do it with a hammerless gun.
I mean, Kel, no fun if you don't eject perfectly good bullets.
amen my god I wanted someone to say this when I first watched the movie
You have to remember that they're all members of the air force. Which means that they aren't heavily trained in the feild or with weapons. That's what the marine corps or navy seals are for. This also means that these are either the most incompetent aliens ever, these are the most highly trained air force soldiers ever, or these guys are all incredibly lucky. Any way, I call BS.
To be fair the wooly whatsitsface was wearing a harness, a sign of domestication.
Tori Purgers--Exactly and feeding it makes it your friend!
@@jcbvortex22 I can attest to this. I always have good feelings toward people who provide me with food.
I cringed when he said that lol
I've seen harnesses on rodeo bulls
I would not walk right up to one
@@347Jimmy lol good point
Jack was recruited for the mission because the Air Force knew he was suicidal. They gave him a likely suicide mission and a reason for his death.
That is why getting the job seemingly turned his depression around in an instant.
Daniel calmly approached the animal because it had a harness which meant likely domestication.
Both of these are revealed by watching the movie.
3:07 "Remember when [O'Neil]... was ready to kill himself? Is the movie ever going to address that?" I'm so glad you asked that. They sent a dude with a death wish specifically so he could set off the nuke on Abydos while standing right next to it.
He wasnt thinking of killing himself. It was the gun his son accidentally shothimself with.
@@Hollowbarista he did actually think about killing himself, it's confirmed in sg1
@@sarkasaa but that was other Jack O'Neil with one l
also the sin seems to be that he now stands in the corner all tough. He puts up a show he functions like a good soldier and puts on a tough exterior that shouldn't be a sin
@@weekim3974 No it was the same Jack. They simply recast for TV for Budget and time purposes. But they are the same.
This movie is definitely pretty sinful, but DAMN if it didn't launch one of my favourite tv shows of all time. Stargate SG-1 made up a pretty good chunk of my childhood tv-watching habits. I rewatched it recently on Netflix and aside from some technological differences, it STILL holds up, IMO. Plus... It was just so much damn fun. Richard Dean Anderson and Chris Judge especially. GOD, I just... Freaking LOVE Stargate SG-1. Idk man.
SG1 was awesome until the end of season 7 where they get a 2 parter where they go back in time to ancient Egypt. After that, it deteriorated quickly. Atlantis was awesome except for whiny weir and her "we don't shoot first and ask questions later because the UN is totally not a corrupt useless organization that promotes misery in the world" attitude.

+Observasaurus Rex i stopped watching after they introduced vala. She just annoyed me.
+Nilufar Yasmin you take that back. She's the best and her and Daniel deserve to be happy forever you monster
Vala didn't ruin it for me, but I think she was there mostly because BVen, was. They were two of the main characters on farscape....
If you're going to point out strings holding a model for practical effects, it might help if the strings were actually VISIBLE in the clip.
I was thinking that. But maybe this is a result of TH-cam encoding issues that couldn't be predicted before uploading? Perhaps it's more obvious in the source material?
Tried watching it at 0.25 speed and managed to spot a rather vague line in some of the frames.
I saw them, at least 2 strings on left wing (right from out point of view)
I had to pause to see them, but they're definitely there.
and at the time of release CGI wasnt a thing for fast moving space ships think starwars for example plus there low budget
Love how he says "strings" showing a glider, but changes the scene so quick because strings aren't actually visible.
I couldn’t see the strings either.
you can if you pause make out slightly (lnly when you know its there) but i watched it yesterday for the first time on a large projector screen and didnt notice it so its not rlly sinnable
i don't think he meant it literally
You actually can see the strings, but the clip makes it more difficult to see.
There was one thing I loosely remember that they put in specifically for linguists. Apparently Egyptian hieroglyphs are phonetic, but they lack vowel sounds. Which was the comment Jackson said after he learned how to speak. Sinful as this movie was, they did do some pretty obscure research.
8:52 - "NO! Dangerous!" he shouted, snatching the rifle away from the kid and immediately pointing it at him with his finger on the trigger.
@TerranStriker Absolutely not, that is how people can (and often do) get shot unintentionally. Two of the four universal gun safety rules are to A.) never point a gun at anything that you are not willing to destroy, and B.) keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. ✌
Yeah, for a supposedly trained Special Forces Soldier, he should be a lot better at handling a gun. That's why I have to wonder if Stargate had any military consultants/ advisors on the set.
"There's no way this place would be as packed as though it were a Screen Junkies panel at ComicCon!"
Sin for product placement in a CinemaSins video. Sin-ception?!
How is a dig at their competitors a product placement?
+DerekHartley Um...last I checked, they're not competitors. They've done collaborations and crossovers together. And I suppose by product placement I meant "brand placement."
+Harrison Dansie I think that the relationship between screen junkies and cinema sins was damaged.
+Sebastian muñoz ochoa If it was, I didn't know.
+Harrison Dansie Screen Junkies ripped stuff off of Cinemasins and tryed to deny it until they got backlash for it. So they are not exactly "friends".
6:55 "Darmok and jalad at tanagra" When the walls fell. Lolllll dude loved the startrek reference
Same!
his arms opened wide...
Shaka, when the walls fell
I knew that's what it was from!
That comment he made made me LOL.
I don't care about the sins. I still love this movie.
Same. I remember watching this movie alot as a kid
@@ruthkruse6368 People!
The time this movie came out was when the Franchise was very Young.
So still go and watch it! SGU excluded!
Also a lot of the sins are kinda BS, this one was pretty lazy. "Military tough guy suppresses his feelings" uh... yeah that is kinda the trope??? "For some reason the startgate work only 1 way", yeah that kinda of ties to the 6 points in space and point of origin. " it dematerializes like a star trek transporter" yeah kinda and then transports you vast distances, so like new star trek.
@@loturzelrestaurant This movie predates the franchise by 3 years!
@@brianpinkey676 In a sense, yes.
11:52 The Stargate is made of an alien metal that survived a direct meteorite blast. Yes. Yes you do need an atomic bomb.
would that even do more damage than a direct meteor blast, though :/
nope
no, but we don't possess the power to blast things with meteors, so basically a nuclear bomb is the best options humans have.
Wouldn't the Naquida In the Stargate also add to the explosion?
+EternalWisdom No because it is refined, not raw.
I'd hate to nitpick the nitpicking but the whole reason why they chose Jack for the mission was he was suicidal to begin with. The whole mission was essentially a suicide mission for him. They're not going to send their best into an unknown part of the universe with some nerdy guy with a hard-on for Egyptian culture as their only way back.
Which only works in movie logic... the military would want somebody who could be trusted to follow the mission parameters to the end, not give up halfways to get himself shot or do it himself. Psychologically struggling persons do not really make a good SpecOps team. Although they might be good as a forlorn hope or holdup action (Thermopylae), this was nothing like that, it required reconnaisance, tactical thinking and decision making. as silly as taking the weird one with them during the Armageddon expedition.
@@Ugly_German_Truths He may have been depressed and suicidal, but at least 1 other person on the team was a friend of his(it's mentioned once or twice) and he wasn't likely to do something that would hurt his friend(s).
@@InfernosReaper
You mean Kowalski? Yeah, they served together previously and knew each other... not sure if they'd qualify as "friends" but good acquaintance hits it. Too bad Kowalski dies either in this movie or the Pilot for SG1...
@@Ugly_German_Truths pilot for sg1. either way, there seemed to be some comradary, even for him to set aside his guilt over his sons death to protect other people.
not every depressed/suicidal person wants to take everyone with them, either. those types usually become mass-shooters, mass-stabbers, or bombers
@@InfernosReaper My God, people! Doesn't *anyone* remember that the plan was for everyone to go back and for the colonel to stay behind and blow up the stargate on the other side?
1:48 I always assumed that Kurt Russel's character was looking at his dead kid's photos, not the character's childhood photos?
Jennifer Coles you are correct.
He was.
Those definitely were his son
and nothing happens with the alien door for 75 years Ernest "am i a joke to you"
Dude.
Please edit grammar in.
Discovered by Daniel accidentally in season 1lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 poor Ernest
No idea if it's canon in the movie, but in the TV series the Stargates are really, really freaking durable. Dynamite and sledgehammers would do nothing against them.
They never indicated in the movie how strong it was
You are right, in the TV series stargates have survived being hit be a meteor, a nuclear bomb, and most impressively being sucked into a black hole.
dan b I imagine it would have to be as strong as in the series to be able to survive thousands of years with no erosion or damage whatsoever.
are you kidding me you are all praising the tv series like it was a gift of god, sure it was preety good but i thought atlantis had waaayyy to much filler
+Kevin Duda Stargate is a monster of the week format though, so even though they can be isolated stories they are all still important because they all expand the universe, literally
"Wasn't the whole point of this that the pyramids on Earth were replicas of THIS?" Well, no. Why do you complain that the entire backstory of the movie is read to the audience from a cave wall when you cannot even be bothered to pay attention to this backstory? It is said explicitly that Ra came to Earth, created Egyptian civilization, THEN took Egyptians through the gate to this planet as slaves, so that's when they built this pyramid. It's also why the "aliens conveniently look just like us", because they're not aliens, they're descendants of ancient Egyptians, not the other way around. Ra is the only actual extraterrestrial in this scenario.
Let's not forget about the hippo buffalo, now.
Exactly. I don't know why he kept acting like they were entirely different species.
He's American
All foreigners are aliens, especially ones in MENA
But why is the pyramid brown, the great pyramid had an outer layer of limestone and a gold top?
I think Ra foreclosed on it before they could finish.
ok so literally 1 minute into the video and you're wrong, right after jackson says Vyse is a fraud the other dude asks him to prove it. The exact opposite of what you say in the video.
Totally not related to anything ever but I can't believe I'm not the only one who knows about that weird wikihow meme
Ok but grammar?
6:00 CinemaSins doesn't know the difference between galaxies and dimensions. +1 sin
Also doesn't realise that the gate is only one way and that Daniel knew the language but was rusty as it hasn't been spoken on earth for a very long time (ancient Egyptian)
Technically same galaxy. Just a different planet.
@@matthewhutt544 That was a retcon from SG-1. In the film Abydos is on the other side of the universe.
@@IBeforeAExceptAfterK they even seemed to know it would send them to another galaxy, they had already setup a 2d tracker thingy that followed the journey.
This is making me want to re watch the entire Stargate SG1 series again for the 5th time.
+Nude Injection
I see what you did there. ;D
Lol, I watch it almost once a year in binge form. I just started agaiun cew days ago.
The one good thing this movie did was create Stargate SG-1, one of the best sci-fi series of all time.
@@dredwick Well clearly it isnt the best since it isnt called Firefly but since the 15 hours of Firefly can only entertain for so long the 10 000 hours of SG-1 is also valuable
@@barrylyndon5552 Firefly? laugh out loud. The people who think FIrefly is good are the people who like Tenacious D. Star Trek TNG blows Firefly out the water and then some. Even Sliders is better than Firefly. Hell, even Alien Nation is better than Firefly. SG-1 is better than Firefly. Just because a bunch of wannabe-nerds petitioned to bring FIrefly back does not the best show make it. The same # of fans like Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Freakin FIrefly over TNG?! too funny.
@@dredwick I think you'll find Keeping up with the Kardashians has far more fans than Firefly. Because it's a mass marketed empty shell relying on characters rather than plot. A bit like a lot of star trek; sheer technobabble and ludacris situations made watchable by good actors. SG-1 had similar issues and perhaps more ridiculously relied on the 'plucky human' trope to the extent you never felt an ounce of worry for any character. They were all invincible. Firefly was the only sci-fi i can recall where human fallibilities measured into the equation
@@barrylyndon5552 Smh. Well, I don't know what to say, other than you might not have a large collection of sci-fi with which to watch. So yeah, I guess that could lead someone to rate Firefly #1 while also simultaneously ignoring the human fallibility in all other sci-fi and regarding TNG as "technobabble". Though everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if said entitlement is misleading.
@@dredwick Chill.... its a good show, lets all just leave it at that.
Sometimes I wonder if the narrator really watched and understood the movie and somehow noticed it was shot over a decade ago.
very true
He probably doesn't write the stuff, he just reads it. So if the writers get it wrong then it makes him look bad.
@@Resimaster usually the narrator is the owner of the channel and also the writer. 🤷🏼♀️
@@nofreenameforme123 I'm sure on one of these videos he talks about "our writers" though, so it's probably a couple of people doing the channel
It was actually released nearly 3 decades ago, so I totally agree with you.
Even after all these years, I still think this is the best Devlin/Emmerich collaboration. I loved Independence Day, and I enjoyed the Patriot (despite its historical flaws), but Stargate touches me in the same way as The Mummy, or Indiana Jones, or the Rocketeer, or the 1994 Jungle Book live action movie - an old fashioned adventure epic, with a sweeping score and excellent cinematography. The cast is top notch. I think the presence of Viveca Lindfors elevated the movie in the same way that Gloria Stuart did with Titanic. She brought an old-Hollywood sincerity to the picture. You could tell there was a lot of love and care that went into the making of this film. It didn't have the cookie cutter feel of the post-2000 films released by this duo.
Agreed 100%!
Stargate is my favorite Roland Emmerich movie, too( this and Independence Day)!
"Does the Stargate only work from the direction where it is activated?"
Yes.
Also, they're not aliens.
Actually they only show its one way in the tv series, not the movie.
Brandon Reed Well that is the exact same gate as on the show. Technically. Plus, Harry Solomon just said it was one way in that quote
No Sci fi movies in general establish wormholes are a one way deal. And the line they sinned said they had to open it from this side which is basically saying they are only one way.
YOU MISSED ONE:
On the first activation, an Army general gives the order to team of highly skilled scientists to 'Record all information from the Stargate' ...
...because they wouldn't be doing that already
aside from everything in the next room
Feels like you haven’t paid attention to the story. I’m only 2 minutes in and yes, obviously they’ve made progress with the StarGate in those 70+ years, and they chose Jack because they were sending him on a suicide mission
People!

"Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra"
*Dies laughing!*
also, based on that last sin, I'd say he never watched the 10 seasons of Stargate SG1 and 5 seasons of Stargate Atlantis, as well as Stargate Universe and the animated Stargate infinity, neither of which I knew about before I googled it today.
Looking at the hideously terrible intro. to the "Infinity" cartoon here on YT (which amazingly had one season), I'm immensely glad that series never went anywhere and isn't canon.
He made a MacGyver joke. And Kurt Russell never is seen again.
Temba, when the walls fell.
50% of the people watching cinema sins probably don't get that #PATRICKSTEWARTISAGOD
That whole "feeling the stargate for minutes on end" thing was due to that being a _really_ impressive special effect at the time. That was CGI when CGI was still considered amazing and new. Now TH-camrs can do better with free software.
Plus it's totally something a person in that situation would do. The soldiers were basically walking blindly into the unknown. Daniels at least wanted to check it out first.
As I remember it, the opening of the gate wasn't CGI. They filmed water and dropped something or blew high pressure air into the water and flipped the shot. Might be wrong but as far as I know, and until someone proves me wrong, it was a practical effect. Which is better most of the time. :)
+Anders Öhman
Which still would make it an impressively smooth Bluescreen use... as Daniel Jackson did definitely not hang above a water tank for that scene ;-)
The opening of the gate was indeed done by firing a jet engine at swimming pool :)
Yup! 👍
5:50 - YES That's what they're establishing with that dialogue. Because I'm sure the audience was asking the same question, and so French Stewart had to explain why that it didn't work that way. There was no further explanation in the movie, but that IS what they were trying to establish there. You sinned the movie for not establishing something, while they were establishing it.
Yeah he’s an idiot sometimes. At this point I think I watch this channel to be enraged. The team of writers clearly comes up with shit that proves half of them don’t watch or pay attention to the source material.
I do love French Stewart had a cameo in Stargate Universe later on
These CinemaSins videos are, by themselves, great advertisements for rewatching these awesome movies!
"teleported to another dimention"
Dude they jhsut traveld to another planet in the galaxy..
a lot of the sins here are explained in the dialogue. he's getting lazy with some of these sins.
In the movie they actually say they went to a galaxy on the other side of the universe. In the series they changed it so the planet they went to (abidos) was among the very closest stargates in our galaxy, and used stellar drift to explain why only the very closest gates were still dialable without a dialing device.
I think they were reciting The Prodigy "out of space" but wrongly.
Not to mention that he repeatidly says "Human like aliens" while the movie itself explains how the humans there are decendents of slaves brought from earth, so they are not aliens but humans.
So many sins in your spelling only
The "why would they reactivate a suicidal guy" sin is pretty egregious. They needed someone clearly willing to go on a suicide mission.
Holy shit CinemaSins I’m shocked that the fact that you completely got this movie wrong doesn’t embarrass you more than it does.
I love how clearly you can tell he never watched the show that explained most of the things he complained about.
Most of the complaints are stupid, the movie made things perfectly understandable if you cared to listen, clearly just spat out the video with no interest in the movie at all...

8:22 The fact that you didn't seem to understand that the aliens were human almost makes me think that you didn't actually watch the movie.
I've watched the movie a handful of times and I don't recall when it ever conveys clearly the Abydonians are human and they were brought to Abydos by Ra 10,000 years ago. I know they clarify this in SG-1 when they encounter various human-like races on many, many different worlds and learn the G'ould transported humans from Earth to several different planets.
Not only is it explicitly said, it is even pictured! Daniel says so while reading the backstory from the wall of hieroglyphs
You're like a god to me, sir XD
Idiots there alien to us like illegals
I think he had it muted most of the time
5:51 Yes, thats exactly how the stargate works.
5 sins off for the most awesome movie music. Seriously, is it possible to not get goosebumps?
The way that lady said Hieroglyphs, that's how we in Egypt pronounce it "Hero-glyph"
Ja i thought that is the pronounciation. I always thought the standard US pronounciation is weird 🤔
1. Yes, you can only go that way through the Stargate you open it (its explained in "SG-1")
2. The people on this planet are no aliens, theire humans from earth brought there by Ra thousand of years ago.
3. The atmosphere of a planet can protect from a fallout - the atmosphere of the earth protects us the whole time from gamma-rays, uv-lights...
4: If it's not explained in the movie that is being sinned, it should be sinned.
1. However the series was made after the movie, and even if the series predated the movie they would sin it anyway because the movie itself didn't explain this.
1.Except the idea of wormholes only being one way is something other sci-fi shows have stated but this isn't a star gate thing it's just part of wormhole theory in general. The guy stating that they need to open it on this side to leave was the movie's way of explaining this fact without going through a whole exposition speech on Wormhole Physics.
what fun are sinamacins if you can't leave out context to produce them?
Did you mean to swap the s and c?
The one that bugged me the most (and there's a lot) the first time the soldiers got whooped in the dark room with pillars they each rack their weapons like 5 times each meaning they're just ejecting unspent rounds onto the ground for funsies. Really they're doing it for the sound to build tension but it just sounds ridiculous.
Bingo!
I'm wondering if the movie had any military consultants on set.
Of course Daniel thought he could approach the first alien animal he sees... It's wearing a harness, unless it's born with it it's been tamed by someone.
"Does the stargate only work in a direction it is activated?"
Yes, they just said it, how can it be a sin? Just because you do not like some in universe logic means nothing as long as movie adheres strictly to it.
The problem is that nowhere in the movie was it established where that information came from. They figured out how to activate the Stargate, immediately sent a team through, and on the other side that one guy suddenly says that - without them even trying to test it out.
It makes no sense that he would just treat that as fact.
+bishplis Damn, it must be hard to live your life and feel insulted by anybody who does not quite share your uncritical adoration of something. I do feel sorry for you, at least when I am not laughing about your juvenile butthurt.
Hey radio waves are bi-directional though!
I think you mean omni-directional. In any case, though, if the probe sends information back through the wormhole, the typical assumption would be that matter (like the team) should be able to travel back through the wormhole as well. I think the real issue is how long the wormhole can be kept open, although that's still a bit shaky since the series had Socar (I could be wrong about the name, please correct me if I am) holding the wormhole open so long and with so much heat on the other side that it started melting things on the Earth side of the wormhole. And how about when the team was so close to a black hole that the time distortion and gravitational pull of the black hole affected the facility on Earth. I liked the show, but those were definitely some big holes in the storyline.
Indeed. IT is established a few times in the TV series that the originating gate disassembles matter, sends it across through the artificial wormhole to the receiving stargate, which then reassembles the matter back. For whatever reason, the Ancients/GateBuilders built their Stargates this way. This Cinema Sins guy is just a whining fart.

He did know the base language, it was Ancient Egyptian.
The civilisation Ra created PRE dated the Egyptians by 6 to 7 thousand years, these people spread out. The Egyptians did not build the Pyramid.
He had to learn how the language had drifted over time.
The Gliders were launched from Ra's ship.
I get the feeling you review movies nowadays just to be angry.
speedhump231,
You're taking a satirical video way too seriously.
You pretty obviously watch these videos in order to be angry. Seek help.
@@abegarfield3754 There's nothing satirical about these videos. They're just lazy.
We all know. Its just stupid sins. Try watching other videos for better content.
You know, even though Stargate wasn’t as big of a franchise as others like Starwars and Startrek, I still think that Stargate had the best lore and story without having to rely on multiple books and comics to explain the story better, *cough* Starwars *cough*. Stargate, to this day, I personally think it still has some of the best effects from the guns they shoot, alien or tauri, to the supergate the Ori armies used. Even the stars themselves are some of the most breathtaking things I’ve watched. Sure the First order blew up all of the new republic homeworlds, but Sam blew up a star consequently blowing up a system and McKay blew up a star system of his own.
George Lucas was all like: Starwars hyperdrives are the most advanced out there.
And Brad Wright was all like: hold my Star...
*Star Wars and Star Trek.
They did a fantastic job. The shows were canadian so perhaps that is a reason why it did not resonate as much but they are fantastic📙
@@BlackDiamond2718 it was filmed in Canada like a lot of shows but it's still technically an American show.
Mr. Lee ok then.
Worst sin: CinemaSins apparently has never watched Sg1
Or atlantis, or Universe. I mean, the show(s) were on TV for over 10 years!
William, Stargate Universe WAS a sin. I really wanted to like it, but the writing was just too bad.
The shows answered and fixed most of this stuff. But I will grant that this movie sucked.
Yup, and they are judging this movie not the entire universe.
+csmichotdog
Exactly. Isn't one of the rules that you can't take any context from novels/TV shows or other canon (ie Toby's Spidey movies logic can't be used it Andrews) only true sequel's as a movie, being a one time story, shouldn't need other media to understand?
A perfect example is Warcraft ( which I personally loved).
Why should most people have to research a movie just to watch it. You shouldn't. It breaks the idea of what I movie is.
I made the mistake of watching the movie while halfway through watching SG-1. You can disagree all you want but I think the show is better than the movie.
Who would disagree with that? I've never met anybody who did... SG-1 rules.
SG-1 is way better. I can watch the tv show over and over and....forever!
I disagreed for more than a decade, because the movie IS really good. And when the series was announced back in the day, I simply couldn't forgive them casting MacGyver. It was just too much.
But then I watched Atlantis and it was awesome, so I had to give Sg-1 a chance. And it made it to a solid second place in the end. It's pretty good as well.
lol I don't think anyone but Roland himself would ever say the film was even objectively good, never mind good compared to the TV Show.
I am so glad SG-1 retconned most of the stupid shit from the film over the first series.
Honestly, the only really good thing in the film was the theme itself, which wasn't really new, just the implementation. (which SG-1 improved on massively)
LOL, the TV show's level of acting, set design, prop quality, scripting etc. was ALL just bloody awful. SG-1 is inly enjoyable when you don't take it seriously, Atlantis is only enjoyable because the team has a good dynamic and is funny, and Universe didn't fit into the flow of both other TV shows and tried desperately to be more grown-up than them.
The movie is by no means perfect. But it has the best music and the best villain. Ra alone makes the original movie superior to everything that followed and called itself "Stargate", and that's not even including his awesome costumes.
Movie: "I'll be seein' you around, Jackson."
CinemaSins: "No you will not."
Stargate SG-1: "Hold my Zat'nik'tel"
They legitimately never did since they weren't in the series or the other movies.
Got to the "buffalo who looks like James Lipton" sin. Googled James Lipton to find out what he looks like. Couldn't stop laughing for ten minutes.
Since they're doing Stargate, I sort of want to see one for Serenity.
Also, I vastly prefer the Goa'uld from SG-1 and the Wraith from Atlantis to this version's big bads.
I was just thinking the same thing
I never thought of Ra as an interesting villain, thank God the show fixed that.
+Adam Stringer
Eh, I still didn't like Ra in the show that much, mostly because I don't feel like the guy who played him was that great of an actor. That aside, though, I just didn't like how he kept narrowly avoiding death everytime SG-1 thought they had killed him.
Dargonhuman Ra only appeared in the movie, I quite enjoyed Apophis but like you said they brought him back too many times.
Hello, student of linguistics here. To answer your question at 12:11, it would theoretically be possible for him to speak fluently in their language depending how close it is to Ancient Egyptian, but it isn't likely very likely in my opinion mostly because:
1) We do not know exactly how ancient Egyptian was pronounced. The Egyptians used a writing system that combined logographic (one symbol is equal to one word/concept), syllabic (one symbol equals a syllable) and alphabetic (one symbol equals one sound), meaning it wasn't the best at conveying phonetics.
Secondly this alien race has been around for thousands of years after the Stargate was closed , meaning there probably has been at least some pronunciation changes, although there could be some grammatical changes as well. depending on the changes that took place, and the fact he couldn't understand them initially until he really looked into it, Ancient Egyptian and the Alien Variant could be as similar as Swedish is to Norwegian, or as different as Spanish is to Portuguese, it being a Swedish/Norwegian scenario would explain a lot, it still doesn't explain how he is able to pick it up, as there still is difficultly understanding when trying to use Swedish to understand Norwegian, and a Swede cant speak Norwegian after hearing a little bit of it (as far as i know), and if it is a Spanish/Portuguese scenario, then it is would be unlikely for him to master their language instantly, since there would be numerous grammatical and lexical differences. It would be believable if him and the aliens had to speak slowly and play some charades to communicate, but picking up the language seems unlikely
Since i'm still a student of linguistics, i could be incorrect with my reasoning
Honestly though, i think we should just chock this up to the power of boners.
Thank you. Your comment exemplifies one of my favourite things about TH-cam
I was thinking about this, too - if you look at examples of languages that have been isolated (as this desert planet would have been), they don't change nearly as much as languages with interaction with other cultures. And there seems to be only one city, so it would be hard to imagine dialects. I think the difference between Ancient Egyptian and this modern language would be closer to Old Norse compared to Icelandic (though obviously a far greater difference in terms of time)
I think at some point he mentions that no one knows how to speak ancient Egyptian. But he can read it because we do know how to read it (because of the rosetta stone). I think he could learn to speak it quickly because he was already fluent in reading it. He just needed to learn their pronunciation. But I only speak one language so I may be wrong about that.
this alien race is humanity.
Yes no shit, this is just some random guy in a studio trying to make up sins for humor and therefore ad revenue...
Honestly, I feel like you have only bashed everything you could without thinking a second time.
5:47 Yes.... it does only work one direction.... it's part of cannon in this movie and in the series'
TEEEUM EJ yes. As the 100 other commenters have already mentioned
The Washington Monument is based off of an Ancient Egyptian Obelisk.
Only in way more grotesque proportions of course :D
But okay - the Egyptians would have probably made it 10 times larger if they had our materials and technologies.
That was the joke.
Also to be fair the Washington Monument was done by layers of stone
While Egyptian Obelisks were carved out entirely and then flipped into place
MAXZONE47 Actually I read that the ancient Egyptians built wood scaffolding around the obelisk and carved it while it was standing upright.
Of course, but what do you expect, an american reviewer to know anything about world history? Pffft. They are too lazy even to look up wikipedia.
The movie could have explained things better but SG1 answered most of the sins lol
But SG-1 does not matter. SG-1 was not made based on this movie, it took the rough idea of it and created something different.
SG-1 and the original Stargate movie have pretty much nothing to do with each other.
TheYasmineFlower Despite the fact that both Kasuff and Ska'rra's actors reprised their roles in SG1?
+bemasaverwyn55 They did not "reprise" their roles exactly, because it was not the same story. Even if they actually "reprised" their roles, that still would not translate into the movie and the series being in the same canon, because the series was created by different people with only parts from the movie, and that makes it, at best, an alternate reality interpretation of the movie - but not the same canon.
And an alternate reality quite literally means that they have pretty much nothing to do with each other, because alternate realities are _different_.
+bishplis Selective citation does not make you make any sense. So, right back at ya, and stfu.
Stargate - colonel O'neal
Stargate sg1 - colonel O'neall
I'd agree that they are separate universes/canon
Ok Cinema Sins.
You won my heart with the "Darmok and Jilad at Tenagra" bit.
Dont. Ever. Stop.
Most things are explained in the later series. Ironically even the “you can just try all symbols” - the Stargate actually was activated, but something went wrong back then. Also re. 44 it doesn’t feel like anything. Your body is dissolved. Stargate SG - 1, definitely recommend.
Edit: 50. Yup. One direction. Important key later.
Edit: 108. Stargates are of different matter, they can’t be blown up by low level explosions.
Why is every SG-1 fangirl a total moron when it comes to his nitpicking?
darmok and jalad at tanagra, what a great reference lol
What an utterly obscure reference that i totally understood
Epic!
his arms wide !
@@arnaud1050 Temba...at rest....
NOSTALGIA
"Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" is one of the most impressive references you have ever made.
This. 🙏
Shaka, when the walls fell
It's the actress' Swedish accent. Swedish word for "Hieroglyphs" is "Hieroglyfer" which is pronounced the way she says it but she dropped the "er" at the end.
Sin 51 (5:50) - Yes, the gate only works in one direction, it's talked about many, many times during the TV series as well.
Patrick Hamel
Except radio signals travel both ways, whether incoming or outgoing.
They introduced that thing about radio working both ways in the series. Much as I love SG-1 that is the height of convenience, much like almost every culture they encounter speaking perfect English, despite a language barrier being a core element of the film.
Hahaha, Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. Good old Star Trek TNG.
One of my favorite episodes. lol
Thank you! I was racking my brain trying to remember where I heard it.
Agreed lol
Shaka, when the walls fell!
Picard and Dothan at El Adrel...
Am I the only one who didn't see the strings?
me neither
TH-cam compression ate the strings
There was an entire episode that mocked it, in fact, the tv series had it's own satire episode about the movie.
Yes! Finally someone else who doesn't see any strings when he said that. I repeated that scene over and over and still couldn't see any strings.
So I guess you could say there are no strings on him?
The audio outtakes are always on point 😂
You missed one really big sin: no overdubbed audio references from SG-1 or Atlantis.
At 5:16 both "alien" moons in the shot are actually pictures of Earth's moon.
who cares
This is a channel dedicated to movie flaws. Why the fuck are you even here if you don't care?
@@clunkwestweed4541 #triggered
To me, the most screamingly obvious sin of all! Rotated images of our own moon!
As someone who has never seen this movie and only sg 1 so far, the differing actors makes me so uncomfortable. Then I see the characters on Abydos and I'm so happy.
A perfect combination of sci- fi and mythology!!!!
I just love Rufios smile at the end.... He is like "What a guy!
The Egyptologist Processor who consultants on this film who my friend studied under, I asked why they got ancient Egypt history so wrong with an expert at hand and said that that filmmakers chose to ignore his advice, but this is nothing new in Hollywood
Please get with your English "Processor" ASAP!!!
Usually how it is. "Oh, so that's how it ACTUALLY works in history?" -producers and writers convene- "Okay...so...we're going to ignore you, because that just won't make for a fun movie with how we envision it."
Where can I get one of those Processors.... Are they Intel, ARM or AMD....
Artistic license, once you make the Egyptian gods malevolent alien overlords you kind of already lost a lot of the nuance you could have had to work with. I suppose it could have been interesting for setting up how they lived though but again they do so under rule, so who knows.
To be fair, it is a sci-fi film. Not a documentary.
Too much mistakes, someone should make an Everything Wrong With "Everything Wrong With Stargate" video
Wow! Is 爱党 your real name or a suggestion of your political stance? :)
Or an everything wrong with cinema sins video.
Peter Samu oof...
Hahaha this Guy smokes too much weed
Lol for real, he has so many fails and unnecessary sins on this, while also missing some obvious ones. And he said he watched the whole movie? I guess there’s a big difference between watching a movie and actually watching and paying attention to a movie.
"violently discount dark crystal" was definitely the best jab
Am I the only one that uses these as a kind of "I want to kind of get a quick recap of a movie I watched a long time ago without having to sit through two hours to see the whole thing again" thing?
Or is it just me?
Okay, this movie is pretty sinful, especially when it comes to science, but I have to "sin" you on a few things, CinemaSins: 3:32 If I remember correctly, they didn't know they needed a seventh symbol. 3:35 It's just called a phone. 5:49 Yes. That's exactly how the Stargate works. That's even why Ferretti has that line. It's called exposition. 6:02 Planet. Not dimension. 10:35 Where? 11:51 You have no idea what the gate is made of. 12:28 'Murica... -_- 12:52 Not a sin on your part, but I thought I'd point it out: ironically, Stargate SG1 has an episode where Anubis sends an asteroid towards Earth and the protagonists have to go blow it up. ^^ 13:40 That's your opinion.
How is not knowing the language an opinion?
It can be inspirational even if you don't speak the language.
They didn't rip off the Washington monument they are obelisks which the Egyptians used constantly in their culture, the Washington monument ripped off ancient Egypt. So not sure if he was being sarcastic and if so hardly worth a sin, or if he was being an ignorant yank.
There is also another obelisk in St Peters square in vatican city, the Egyptian obelisk of caligula.
+Mikeztarp How, exactly? You can't be inspired by words if you don't know what the damn words are. For all we know he could have shouted "MY BALLS ARE SWEATY!".
and 12:38, the movie's dialog clearly showed earlier (I say showed, because it was subtitled) that Ra is wanting to send the bomb to Earth with a large shipment of the mineral that will increase its explosive yield. "why hasn't he sent the bomb yet?" Because the shipment of the mineral has not arrived yet. That is what the Human (not alien) caravan was supposed to be arriving with, before they instead started to attack.
Actually they would be able to recieve information from a probe seconds after it entered the wormhole, since radiation can pass both ways through the wormhole. Hence they can talk to SGC in the series.
Also the stargate is pretty much a star trek transporter, hell it even has a pattern buffer just like the transporters.
+Tim Stahel (Moustached Viking)
ya the Stargate is basically a telephone, while it looks like anything is transported through its really just deconstructing, encoding, sending, decoding and reassembling all in the 1 micron space of the event horizon
I remember one of the SG-1 DVD extras saying they tried to base the wormhole science on real-world models of how science believes real wormholes would behave (at least, the leading hypotheses when the movies and shows were being made).
Except how is the probe supposed to know where the hell it is?
It's not like the Stargate tells them, other than in its cryptic hieroglyphics.
So yes, they could get information from the probe, but it seems a little far fetched that the probe looks at the stars (from inside the temple) then pinpoints its location in the galaxy.
Yes, it is, only it uses wormholes to transport the information over vast distances almost instantly.
literally anything: happens
sin counter: **TiNg**
I get how Danial knew how to speak their language "suddenly" because he already knew ancient Egyptian. Netar-u was Net-ur-u. It was all a matter of the accent. So he knew the words, he was pronouncing them wrong.
BY accident, not ON accident, and yes, I verified that with the dictionary.
DING!!!!!
Anna K would be excellent at Cinemasins
Anna K talks about herself in the third person. Ding.

+Penfold011082
Please?
Pretty please???
wait wait wait, hold the FUCK on. Inspiring another movie is now a sin???
Only if it's Michael Bay.
That's been a pretty standard sin for awhile now, where have you been?
“I have never heard anyone use that pronunciation in my life” could be the best line of all time
I Love what you do, but dont normally comment... however, the Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra reference is the best thing I've EVER seen on TH-cam. Gold
7:02 - Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra... Nice TNG reference there, very slick.
Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed it.
Auros and Ysmir at Vivec? Ah, Nerevar with the Sword!
You forgot one... How did they activate the Stargate on Abydos ? I know there is a DHD but it's not shown/said in the movie
The DHD was created on SG-1, not in the movie, as a convenient means of activating an off-world Stargate. In the context of the movie alone, the team presumably turned the Stargate's inner ring manually to activate it. Ra (or another of his race) likely had a device that would activate the Stargate and return them to their point of origin. Apophis from the SG-1 pilot and the alternate Teal'c from Stargate Continuum had one of these, if you need a reference.
is a good point,can be turned manually,power is made from a plant with electrical properties in one episode of SG1,so as long as you know the address power seems to be a secondary need
Manual dialing
To everybody who answered they did it manually, how did Abydos get its DHD in 1x01 then? Did Daniel handcraft it in the meanwhile working on it 36 hours a day?
HydroGlobus no. He explains in the pilot that they found it buried nearby.
You miss the sin of O'Neil going from having a normal 90s midlength haircut to ending up like Guile from Street Fighter vs a standard military buzzcut when he gets re-activated.
Sin number 70 always cracks me up. Every time I watch this part in the movie, I can't unhear "Milkshake".
ugg, spoilers... ive only seen this movie 50 times! 51 tomorrow.
all 10 seasons of sg1? 5 of atlantis? AND 2 of universe?
Please don't even mention Universe, it's like combination of all the worst episodes you could possibly find from all of SG-1 and Atlantis put together and made even worse. Stargate Universe was shutdown for a reason, because it was horrible, whilst yes the core idea of being on a ancient yet highly advanced space ship was pretty cool, except that the execution and the cast along with dialogue and poor story arc made it one big ass abomination.
the only thing i hate about universe it the ginormous cliffhanger it ended on
have you seen the animated series?
***** what new business model? and they sure picked a hell of a time to cancel the series...
interspecies? They're both the same race, human. Humans existed on both sides of the stargate.
They only find the wall with the backstory on it way after the first half of the movie. Of course everyone's going to assume the Abydonians aren't human humans at first.
+bishplis I personally always see CinemaSins videos as a real-time reaction video. But apart from that, it was still a valid thing for them to point out, because the characters in the movie only learned the backstory in the second half of the movie, and as such would not have regarded the aliens they encountered on the planet to be humans originally from earth, as they had no idea that they were from earth, and so they should have assumed that several things would be very different about the aliens, including anatomy.
TheYasmineFlower well, seeing as how they from a scientific society, and to become an officer, like Col. O'Neill, requires a college education in most cases. Basic anatomy would lead any rstonal person to assume that anything that looks exactly human from another planet is probably a human. Name another species that looks like us even on our own planet where most genetic material is shared between even some plants and the animals here...... It's basic logic. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck..... Come on.
Of course, as scientists, one might expect a person who had heard of Abydos (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abydos,_Egypt) on Earth might also wonder why the people they met on another planet called the place where they lived Abydos and why they lived much like the people of Abydos would have lived at around the time they knew the Stargate was from and why the people looked very much the same as any human on Earth. That's a lot of coincidences AND a device that they know from their own use of the Stargate, can allow travel between those planets. All that's left to confirm the strong suspicions they'd have that the people they found were indeed people was sending a DNA sample in for testing.
How could people not realise the Stargate was probably USED BY the ancient Egyptians to travel between earth and that planet?! And possibly even left people stranded on the other side after the gate was buried?! XD
Based on series information the Stargate is built from a mineral called Naquadah, The same mineral they were going to send back with the bomb to earth. This mineral not only increases the yield of nuclear weapons by quite a bit it also makes the Stargate incredibly difficult to just destroy.
See, now that dichotomy would have been worth a sin. It's both an explosive multiplier and means things made out of it are too hard to blow up with explosives. Rather than intentionally ignoring the lore.
I've never seen the Stargate movie, but come on, Stargate SG-1 is awsome!
