I think I'd have to know more about the plot of the movie. I like the concept of the franchise but what I really stayed for was the characters and their relationships with each other and the plot of the week/year.

How long before we get generic stand alone Stargate movies?

Will TPTB, and more importantly, MGM and Sci Fi decide that they just want strings of Sci Fi original Stargate movies coming out for their saturday night slots? Movies that have only the support Stargate characters in the role, like Walter and (oh wow, maybe Major Davis will finally get his place in the spotlight ) other such secondary characters? It's theoretically possible, and considering the nature of Stargate - there's no reason we couldn't see a movie devoted to SG-3, or indeed (God Forbid -imo) The Ancients. Cheap casting - potentially good stories... maybe.
So here it is - how long do we think it'll be before that happens, and if so... would you want to watch?
I want movies with Sam and Jack, Rodney and Teyla etc, anything else would just be a different story.

Which is probably why the cartoon 'Infinity' failed. It wasn't the characters we know and love, and people weren't interested in seeing it.sigpicThanks to Oma-1 for the beautiful banner!

I checked on the Game too and it's kind of "alien", to me at least.Though i am kind of an rpg-addict. Just another proof (for me) that Stargate wasn't a "franchise" in the way they wanted to present it to us, but a couple(or more) of characters we came to really like,in every situation they managed to get themselves into.Spoiler:APOLLONIUS OF TYANA

Dog Soldiers, although awesome, is a British film by the Kismet Entertainment group it is not a 'Sci-Fi original' movie which referrers to TV movies made by the Sci Fi channel., which are of a notoriously bad quality.sigpic

In terms of SGA, I really liked the show for the first season, and while there were episodes that I liked after that, it didn't have what drew me to Stargate: the close knit team, the character growth, and the exploration. It wasn't that they weren't SG-1, it was that they didn't have what that team had that made me care beyond a casual interest.

It will be interesting to see how they get around theis with SGU. The emphasis on character may make us care enough that it won't matter as much, or perhaps they will discover something that endangers the Earth, and makes their return of more than personal importance. I hope the latter will be the case.
There are characters that we met in SG-1 that I think might be able to hold our interest in a movie without the main characters. A mission with Dave Dixon's team, for example. I'm not sure that it would work without some tie-in, or previous knowledge of at least one of the characters.

I would love for a movie or series of movies that cover other aspects of the franchise, as long as it wouldn't supplant anything existing. I see the franchise having three legs -- SG1, SGA, and SGU, and I think it'd be great to have a fourth tier as a sort of "Tales of the Stargate Franchise..." sort of thing, much like Green Lantern had back in the day. There was a Green Lantern ongoing series, a Green Lantern Corps ongoing series (just like today), and a third book called "Tales of the Green Lantern Corps", which featured a random story of a random character every month. If a storyline or character was liked, it was either revisited in a future "Tales" or brought into another leg of the franchise. Star Wars did the same thing with "Star Wars Tales", so I think it'd be great for that to happen.
