Goofs:

Anachronisms: When Cameron waits for Ba'al on the ship he has two M1 Thompson Submachineguns. The one he gives to the crew member, the M1 Thompson, was not developed until after 1939 during WWII. They should have been 1921 or 1928 Thompsons.

Quotes:

Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: [seeing the alternate Gen. Hammond] It's good to see you, sir.
Major General George Hammond: ...If you say so.

Everything I ever wanted

I was really hoping that this movie would bring back the feel of the first seven seasons. A warm and cuddly SG-1. I am very happy to say it lived up to all of my expectations.

I enjoyed every moment of this movie, and it is without a doubt a spectacular finish. People familiar to Stargate will find that this movie does not go through too much spectacular special effects. The lines are not drawn out and the story makes this a very nice watch. Old and new characters combine to do what SG-1 does best... Save earth.

I would not like to go into too much detail as I would want all of you to watch it for yourself, and take it in for it's full meaning. It goes above and beyond the realm of Stargate.
