About this episode
The episode reviews the 2003 film Sumuru, discussing its premise, CGI, and overall quality.
This week, we do something a little different before we jump into Stargate SG1 season 10. We venture back in time to watch the 2003 Michael Shanks classic, Sumuru. It's 900 years in the future, women rule the world, and men are used for slave labor, procreation, and sacrifices to the giant snake god. This movie is not as bad as it could have been. The general premise is quite interesting but it kind of falls apart in the details. There are some decent moments, but, as Rachael explains, it feels like someone's college thesis project. The CGI is terrible. What's with the giant snake? That's not necessary. The acting is pretty decent, though. For what they had to work with… Given all that, is it worth watching?
