Stargate Origins: Catherine (2018)
In 1939, Professor Paul Langford and his daughter Catherine are still grappling with the mysteries of the ancient relic they discovered in the Egyptian desert more than ten years ago. With war looming in Europe and funding running out, these brilliant minds are approaching their lowest ebb. Little do they know, answers are about to present themselves in a dangerous form, when the Nazi Occultist Dr. Wilhelm Br?cke approaches their facility with a sinister motive. Enlisting the help of two young soldiers, Catherine must use all of her wit and nous as she and her new allies embark on an adventure into the unknown to rescue her father, and save the Earth from an unimaginable darkness.
What if you didn't know the whole story?
Heinrich: Evening, Fraulein. Why ever are you sneaking around so late at night?
Catherine Langford: I was hoping to brush up on my German.

Kelly Vint Castro played the young Catherine Langford in the original Stargate movie from 1994. Footage from that movie is used at the very beginning of this movie. She returns to the franchise here in a small cameo playing "American Agent".
The film takes place in 1928 and 1939.
28:00 Catherine explores the event horizon the same way Daniel Jackson did in the movie on the first trip.
At 3:43 there is what appears to be a Channukah menorah on the table between the Langfords.
At one point the German leader refers to the woman photographer as Eva. Eva Braun was the girlfriend and then wife of Adolf Hitler.
Continuity
In both the movie and "Stargate SG-1", Catherine was not aware of the Stargate's function, how dialing the glyphs opened the gate, or the fact that a sequence of seven symbols was necessary.
In scenes situated in the gate room of Aset's temple, the curtain revealing the sky and the three moons is alternately open and closed within the same sequence.
Factual errors
10:27 The battery cables to the gate are simply wrapped around the terminals but there are no cables to the generator or the vehicle, so running either will not charge the system.
7:56 When Catherine is loading the revolver, all of the cartridges have been shot as the primers are all struck.
The Kubelwagen registration number is nonmilitary. An army one would start "WH" whilst one in service with the SS would start with the "SS" runes.
Miscellaneous
The wooden platform going through the gate should be vaporized when the gate is activated.
Anachronisms
The movie shown by the Nazis to the Goa'uld shows the French troops in the Maginot line surrendering and other battles in France, this movie is supposed to be set in 1939; France wasn't invaded by the Germans until May 1940.
The film is set in 1939. The Kubelwagen is painted in "Normandy camouflage" that wasn't introduced until late 1943.
The film is set in 1939. However, the Kubelwagen, MP-40 sub-machine gun, and the Walther P-38 pistol were not manufactured until 1940.
Character error
When Catherine and James are arguing after she pushed Wasif into the just opened Stargate, James asks "Whatever happened to ladies first?". Modern feminism notwithstanding, a British officer of the WWII era would be well versed in Gentlemanly etiquette which states that in times of dangerous or unknown circumstances the man 'should' always precedes the woman so that if some mortal danger arises then the woman is not exposed to it first.
Beal tells Catherine that, if hadn't been for the artefact, "Our chance encounter may have never come to pass." A British person would have said "might have never". In British English, using 'may' suggests a possibility that it didn't happen.
