I didn't even know the movie existed when I first saw SG-1 - I just thought "Hey, neat, they're teasing us with intriguing backstory! I'm sure we'll get the whole picture later."
Later, when I actually watched it, I thought, "Wow, Spader really knows how to channel Shanks! The mannerisms are just great... oops. Um, no." :)
The movie does start slowly, and the Jack and Daniel vibe really doesn't start until Daniel dies the first time (heh). But oh, so much starts way back then! And Kasuf and Skaara are played by the same actors, so you'll have that link, too.
If you're curious, check out the redial_the_gate tags for the movie. There's a recap, and meta on Sha'uri (okay, that's mine), and lots and lots of fanworks.
It's a wonderful "at the beginning" for the SG-1 verse. Really, if you can find a copy somewhere, it's well worth watching.
