Reviews

It looks like a quarter of the reviews here are 1 star, another quarter 2-6 stars, and the last half are 7-10 stars. Many in the first and last partitions seem to be rating it because they think that the film deserves a higher or lower rating than what it received, despite them not actually thinking the movie is a 1-2 or a 7-10 star movie. If we're assuming a 1 star is just almost the worst movie, and a 10 star movie is almost perfect, nobody can honestly watch this movie and call it a 1 or a 10 star movie.

Truthfully, it's an incredibly mediocre movie, with poor acting from several cast members, obviously poor CGI in many parts, and a god-awful story that struggles to hold the attention of a pre-teen that cannot justify a 7-10 star review. However, some of the actors are too good, some CGI too impressive, and the action too interesting for it to be 1 star.

Don't trust the reviews of the people that rate it that way because they want to skew the rating in a certain direction. From someone that loves action and superhero movies, it's a 4/10 on a good day. I wouldn't want to watch movies with those that rate it outside of the 2-6 star range.

This episode of Stargate SG-1 is amongst the best of the season, and a great episode overall. The reviewer Claudio Carvalho has made many trustworthy and insightful reviews on previous Stargate SG-1 episodes, however on this one it seems his judgment has been clouded by what I can only assume is his ego. The episode is not what he would have you believe; the idea of entwining politics and the United States as the representative of all of the people on Earth just simply does not happen as he said it does - in fact, the opposite is true.

On the topic of the episode itself, "2001" serves as an excellent conclusion to the plot first seen in S04 E16 named "2010", where we got a glimpse into the future of an alliance with an alien race called the Aschen. The episode had me eager to continue watching throughout, and has a satisfying and fulfilling ending.

9/10.
