Line 31:
* In the film, the [[planet]] [[Abydos (Stargate)|Abydos]] resides millions of [[lightyear]]s away in an entirely different [[galaxy]]. In ''SG-1'', Abydos is the closest planet to [[Earth]] that has a stargate, residing in the same galaxy as Earth. Also in ''SG-1'', stargate travel is limited to the stargate network in the [[Milky Way galaxy]] (unless a tremendous amount of power is used to lengthen the subspace wormhole of a stargate to another galaxy's stargate).
* The film used more complex special effects than the series. For example, the film's [[ring transporter]]s consist of nine rings that stack on top of one another, whereas only five more widely spaced rings are ever used in ''SG-1''. The film version shows the transported person or object dematerialize and the particles move towards the destination. In the television series, a yellow-orange light would vertically sweep through the interiors of the rings, usually sweeping upward, even when the destination is below.
* The stargate on Abydos in the film is deep within the center of the [[pyramid]], down a ramp from the main atrium room with pillars. In ''SG-1'', the stargate and transporter rings are positioned in the main atrium with the pillars rather than deep inside the pyramid.
* The "Hand Device" used by Ra in the Stargate film differs greatly in appearance from the "Hand Devices" used by the "Goa'uld" in SG-1.
