Early peek at Children of the Gods DVD menus

Fans who are eagerly awaiting the July 21 North American release of Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods – Final Cut (possibly the longest title in DVD history) have just a few more days before the revised version of the series premiere arrives on DVD.  We’ve seen it, and we liked it a lot.

While we’re putting the finishing touches on our review of the film, here are some screen grabs from the disc’s menus:

The menus on this release are static shots, as with previous Stargate releases.

The revised version of the film includes brand new visual effects, scenes previously cut or truncated, a new score, a brand new voice performance by Christopher Judge, and more.

Bonus features include a 7-minute featurette on the recutting process, and an audio commentary by co-writer and co-creator Brad Wright and actor Richard Dean Anderson (“Jack O’Neill”).

Pre-order Children of the Gods – Final Cut at Amazon, and stay tuned for our full review later this week.

  • I don't think I'm gonna buy it, I was just to have a kid friendly Pilot episode around.
    But the fact that it's still rated (15) in the UK and cost £16 (over $20) which is almost the what I pay for a full season and the lack of special features I think it's only worth a rent.
    I hope people don't buy it because although I want to support the show, I'd rather have no Stargate than re-hashed episodes.
    Maybe that's a little harsh but it just seems too pricey, if this is how much it costs them to re-master an episodes it's not worth it.

  • Also I thought they said they re-shot the first scene, that thumbnail on the DVD looks the same as it was before.

  • Bonus features include a 7-minute featurette on the recutting process, and an audio commentary by co-writer and co-creator Brad Wright and actor Richard Dean Anderson (“Jack O’Neill”).
    Well thats great, but 7 minutes is that all?
    Nice those screencaps but maby a trailer would helps more then pics.

  • "Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods - Final Cut (possibly the longest title in DVD history)"

    What about:

    "Don't Be a Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" ? :P

    Might have to pick up this dvd, despite having seen the episode countless times. Just to see what's new :)

  • "a brand new voice performance by Christopher Judge" - who long did it take them to get him to dub the word 'indeed'? Why did they need to dub it anyway wouldn't that just break continuity with the change in his voice.

  • @kzap333: Brad said he wanted to reshoot the opening scene, but ended up not. The film does open in a different way, however.
