I dont think i need to write a long review, as those who have seen SG-1 or any Stargate show know how special and well written it is. This show is none of that. I honestly thought that this was a parody of the original. As Accents and actors play so over the top that it is cringe worthy to look at them. The writing is so bad that short films have better story telling and much more complex and interesting dialogue. But lets talk about how everything we were told in the original show is disregarded. This is "Suppose" to be a prequel of the show which tells the story of how they found the stargate and how it all started. But everything in this show contradicts all the laws and characters of the original., from the gate being able to be powered by a car battery to how it was first activated. To the fact that Goa'uld didn't know that the gate was open again.

Thank you MGM for allowing a troll to write this show and for you to give it money to film it. might I also add that the filming is pretty terrible as the lenses used make the actors faces in long shot out of focus!

Great Job

This is just purely bad film. With an incredible bad message to all woman. I think this could've been a great film. An all female cast was brilliant and acting was great. But the story and the message?...

This film literally tells women that if their husbands cheat and lie to them, then turn the other way as it won't last and everything will work out, live in denial.

I was hoping to see a inspiring film about how women can live happy and successful lifes without their lying and cheating husbands. Or at least how if one truly loves someone they fight for him and make the partner see what truly loves is. But no this film, the cheating husband got of a women who he was cheating with as they were now living together, and wanted something that he couldn't have. But he didn't dump the her and then show sadness or loneliness, he was still with her until the end when he asked the ex wife for another chance.

So ask yourself, what did the husband learn? or what did audience learn? that if he cheats and then get bored of the affair because she isn't as smart or ambitious as the wife, and asks for another chance then its fine? even if he is still sleeping with her when he is asking you for that second chance?

Being a movie lover and a writer, you go in a cinema with higher expectations and a different view then your average movie goer. so when i got the chance to see this film on its opening weekend, I was so excited! But unfortunately for me and a lot of Star Wars, and genuine movie fans we were let down. This 8th film in the franchise feels and views nothing like its predecessors. The film lacks in every aspect. It continuously changes its genre from being a drama, action, comedy... Its flow always get broken up, and is always all over the place. Then there is the whole scenes and unnecessary plot adjustments that dont make sense. The characters are becoming so ridiculous and pointless at the same time. Finn has no character progression what so ever. Ray literally had no training in the Jedi ways, as she never even had her 3rd lesson with skywalker, but took on the red guards and Kylo Ren.

Not to mention Luke (him selves) has done a complete 180 turn to what his character was in the original films. Luke Skywalker opened up and nearly had the most corrupted Sith kill him as he converted Darth Vader to the light side. Luke was the beacon and the most pure association of hope, but in this film they make his character completely different, which doesn't make sense. I just don't want to even mention Chewy or Snoke. Why were they in the film? They added or did nothing to the story, replace them with another character and nothing changes. The rebels are still being chased by the Order, Kylo is still bed, Rey is still "learning" and everything remained the same.

I feel like I can write a whole essay on all the different levels this film failed. Story line, character development, terrible dialogue, complete waste of scenes. The Casino part was the worst.

I just hope that J.J can at least do some damage control in the third film. The only good thing about is the visual effects. This film felt like Guardians of the Galaxy or super hero film rather then Star Wars film.
