SG-A Opening Sequence

[puddlejumper747]

That clip is OK, but SG-1's opening theme sure beats it. I still think (hope, actually) that that clip was just for the Atlantis premeire. Someone who taped Rising, please watch that short preview and tell me that you at least know what I'm talking about. I think if that tune is more complete, it would destroy this one AND SG-1's. I really hope they use it. 4 HOURS!!!!

the opening sequence in 'rising' was too mellow, it didnt give me a spine tingling sensation that i would get when i heard the SG-1 theme.

Yes. I think it was just the theme song for Rising (like the original movie had it's own theme song).
We'll see if my original guess was right in 1 HOUR!!!!

It was definitely better than that. If that's what they use, I might never watch Atlantis again...

I liked that tune!!

[puddlejumper747]

Yea, well, so much for my idea. That opening was OK, but I do think it could have been better. It definitely didn't make me feel like watching it 10 times in a row like with SG-1's opening. Oh, well... <sigh> Maybe it will get better over the next few seasons.

[Ilios]

It was pleasant... it seemed really smooth, and elegant.

[tfalls1]

yea they added some angelic "ahhh ahhhs" to make it more "celestrial". Not bad would have loved a shot of Atlantis soaring through space fully charged.

[Mio]

Same basic tune, but more exciting.

[TechnoBoY]

Okay, I was wrong. Anyways. I loved the music! I thought it was great!

I think the font needs work though. I dunno but it just seemed out of place, dont ya think? You know the fonts of the peoples names. It didnt seem right for some reason.

Complain, complain, complain....It was the best darn theme I've ever heard, bravo to you the Powers that Be in vancouver, and thank you Jerry Goldsmith for one last beautiful and forever memorable expression of the greatest of humanities heart, you deserve to rest in peace! Thank you!

[Yu Huang Shang Ti]

Wow, didn't know this was Goldsmith's last major composition (or one of them, I suspect). Anyway, even without knowing that, I rather liked the new theme. It's not as energetic as the Stargate theme, but it's more majestic and grand... It also sounds like something that was distilled from a movie theme, which is a neat effect considering that there was no silver-screen version of Atlantis to draw from.

[Excali5033]

Yeah, not too bad. More presence than the "Rising" version. Gregorian-ish chanting = always good.

Yes, and I liked the Rising theme for that episode, becuase it was mysterious. But now that we're on Atlantis, I like the more magestic theme.

See, that's exactly what I was really hoping for: the energetic/epic style. The vocals in the backround makes it feels more epic, but I would have still liked it faster. (It was really good anyway.)

But seriously, if anyone taped the pemiere showing of Rising, go back and listen to (1) the music in the promo just before the show started, and also to (2) the backround music when it faded to the Sci-Fi voice mentioning one of the shows sponsors. Both samples have the same musical theme in the backround (complete with the chanting vocals), and I still think that it would have been perfect. Maybe it was just the same song played faster, but I like it alot more anyway.

I like the music, it fits with the feel of Atlantis. SG-1 type music would seem out of place in my opinion, I think its just right.
