Talk:Stargate (film)

Jaffa fossils

I don't think that the fossilized guards were coming through the Stargate. Even disregarding the wormhole physics in the show—such as the Stargate being unable to activate if buried or matter being squashed against a barrier—I think that they were guards who were killed in the Tau'ri rebellion, then buried with the Stargate. -- SFH 01:29, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Unless I'm mistaken, Emmerich and Devlin said the guards attempts to come through the gate on the audio commentary. I'll check it later to be sure. 67.171.163.212 05:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

• I just checked. You were right. Oh, well. Another note for the inconsistencies on the canon article. -- SFH 05:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

In regards to the title ... they're not Jaffa. 205.250.96.88 00:49, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

in regards to the note... goa'uld dont exist in the movie, which means the word "tau'ri" should not be used

I hate being pedantic, but i am correcting someone else's incorrect pedanticness - the 'bomb' in scorched earth isn't a bomb, it's a reactor set to over load, so that note is pointless (I feel dirty for pointing it out, but not as dirty as the person who originally made the note should be). So i have taken it out

"The stars in constellations only appear to be close to each from the point of view of Earth, so a constellation cannot be considered a single "point" in space."

Actually if you see the images the probe sends back the constellations on the stargate are different to the ones on the earth stargate indicating that theyre the constellations visible relative to the Abydos planet and not of earth, even though this is not consistent with the SG-1 series.

Transcript?

Is there a transcript for the movie? I'm interested in Ra & Anubis' lines in Egyptian.

Yeah, that sounds more wiki. Jauh0 ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 13:49, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

"(film)" is more commonly used than "(movie)". Anythingspossibleforapossible ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 10:30, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

other notes

One of it affirms: Ra seems to be certain what world the travelers had come from, which is based on the fact that, in the film, the Stargate only went to one planet. However, it is possible that he could have determined it through torturing the captives.

I think Ra knew the team was from Earth because he saw Daniel's amulet.

Crossing the Event Horizon

I could have seen it wrong but when Daniel Jackson first enters the Stargate, he sticks his face in with his eyes closed then opens them to essentially look at the inside of the Wormhole itself. I was to understand that any matter, immediately upon crossing the event horizon would demolecularize. If something controlling that matter (as in, the muscles of an arm) pulls it back out then it would rematerialize so as not to cut off someone's body part who just got cold feet. This has also led me to believe that the visual effects seen during travel are merely for our benefit but there is absolutely no way anyone could know what it actually looks like to travel through a wormhole (since no one inside has fully formed eyes). Also, if objects do not begin demolecularizing until completely crossing the event horizon, it should cause problems for the Iris. It would suggest travelers don't need more then a few millimeters to rematerialize since there seems to be some sort of "in-between" space.
