Watching COTG: Final Cut at the moment, and YAY it's gorgeous and the music is stunning and oh, George Hammond, how do you get more awesome?
Currently paused at the 24:07 mark because while ( I knew about certain spoilers ) I just wailed "NO!" at my screen because they took away the original wormhole effect and replaced it with the one from SGA/S9-10.
::whimpers::
I'm going to be adding to this as I go along. Heh. Don't mind me. Minor spoilers for changes ahead!
(ETA... um, 17. Sorry! Didn't realize how long this was getting. Also, my electricity went down for over an hour TEN MINUTES from the end, which was just a wee bit annoying, heh. Finished now!)
Oh, come on: ( in the Abydos Gate room )
Eh, don't care much for the new recutting of the ( Daniel/Sha're kiss. )
The new visuals of the pyramid from outside are stunning beyond belief. ::hugs Abydos::
See, there's a problem with meddling. ( It tends to escalate. )
( Cartouche room changes )
Not so yay for Apophis showing up - Sha're seems more timid for some reason. Imagine how much I like that, heh.
( Tell Sha're's father... )
Oooh, ( new scene! )
( Morning briefing changes )
Aaaaand here's the ( most advertised change. )
Totally silly, but I miss the shot of Daniel licking his lips after Jack refuses to listen to him explain about the point of origin. :)
And again reshooting what isn't necessary ( in the first scene with new!SG-1 on it's own )
Very, very weird: in the scene at the palace before SG-1 walks in, there's a little extended chatter - and it's in English. I distinctly heard "true delicacy." Um, yeah. Right.
How awful is it that I laughed ( at certain aspects of the revised dungeon scene? )
( Choosing\turning scene, hmmm. )
( Escape to the Gate. )
( TOTALLY UNFORGIVABLE: )
Bottom line: stunning visuals, unquestionably, and I enjoyed the extra scenes (mostly). But I didn't care particularly for the bad segue of one scene to the next in many places by having the next scene's dialogue starting over the final shot of the current scene. And I did very much miss certain reaction shots or music cues that were removed. A nice effort all round, and I'm very glad to have the sheer anticipation of sitting down to watch SG-1 again!
I look forward to the chance to watch again with commentary, but that probably won't be till next week. In the mean, hope you all enjoyed the play-by-play. :)
