I got a hankerin for some Stargate : SG1 over the weekend, so I brought this out out of containment, didn’t even bother to read the back of the box. I regret doing that, because as I DO like the cast of SG-1 (yes, even the second team), I strongly dislike pretty much every time travel story that I’ve run into over the last 15 years.
This one was no different, and it was obvious that much of the time travel stuff was done so they could save on set budgets. Somewhat enjoyable, but bleh to the time travel.
I enjoyed almost all of the stargate shows and movies. This movie wasn’t their strongest but I really did not like the whole Ori crap. That is where the show lost me.
One of the best episodes though for sg-1 was the time loop episode, so not all time related content is bad. I do agree though on most time travel content in shows. All it can do is act as filler and unless it is fun filler any drama created is false drama as the show is going to return back to how it was at the end of the episode or movie.
ALL time stuff is bad. sure there’s stand outs that are less bad, but they’re still bad.
Back to the Future, The Time Machine (not the remake), Donnie Darko, 12 Monkies, The original Terminator and Terminator 2, The Butterfly Effect, Primer (lesser known but good one), Time Bandits, Dejavu, Final Countdown, Dr Who, and one of my favorites Triangle. That’s just a few off the top of my head. Not all of them are for everyone but there are a few great movies in there that aren’t bad. Now if you mean time travel stuff in shows that aren’t about time travel then yes for the most part it has no place and turns out bad most of the time.
ugh, stop using logic in my emotional outburst.
thank you for bringing up Primer, that movie is exactly what I think of when I think of horrible time travel movies.
lol that is just how my mind works. See like I said not all of them are for everyone. I can see how you might not like that one.
