Summary: Interesting Concept!
Review: This movie when I first saw it in a private screening before its domestic release. I didn't know what to expect. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised.Unique story and an interest premise. The effects are very cool and the Stargate itself is an interesting concept. Kurt Russel begins the movie with his character as being a nasty guy, but then you warm up to him. Jay Davis (The Crying Game) is a really starnge alien leader. I won't give much away but he is like a snake in the grass. James Spader played a great "nerdy" scientist and the most unsuspecting leading "love" man. He falls in love with the alien female (played by Alexi Cruz)and ends up saving Earth and her planet too. Overall the film is an action adventure but it also has heart. Dena Devling and Roland Emerich wrote this with Roland directing.
(This team also cretaed Godzilla and Independance Day!) This is a good modern Sci-Fi film to have in your colleciton.

Summary: One of my all time faves!
Review: This film is truly one of the most underrated films of all time. It totally blew me away when I first saw it in the theatre in 1994. The special effects are mesmerising, the premise is one of the most original I've ever seen, and Ra is totally the greatest sci-fi villain since Darth Vader. My love of this film prompted me to get into the "Stargate SG-1" TV show, which picks up where the movie left off and expands on themes that were first introduced in the movie. Personally, I think Richard Dean Anderson plays a much better Col. O'Niell than Kurt Russell, and the show has a more engaging cast of characters than the movie did, but I still regard the film as one of my top five favourite movies of all time.

Summary: stargate a very cool movie
Review: the movie stargate was a very good film. full of action and suspence. the acting was good and all the stunts. the movie starts out where the recrute spader and russell. then jackson (spader) finds the translations and tells the military what it means and how they can use it. o'neil (russell) is keeping stuff from jackson and in the end they end up going through the gate. they find when they get there, there is life on other plants and that our way of life was created by an allien called ra. ra controls everything in all different univeres expect earth because there was an up rising. o'neil and jackson help the people of abydos to rebel against ra. they do that and the crew leaves but jackson stays behind to learn more about the culture and while there he got married to a native woman. this movie is good for people who like sci-fi and action with a little bit of romance (but not much) i strongly recamend this film.

Summary: WOW! An original thought.
Review: Stargate takes us on a fantastic journey to a "what if" story about ancient Egypt and the questions we have no answers for. At one level in the movie, a Special Forces team led by Kurt Russell ventures to the other side of the known universe in search of the truth, and at another you come face to face with the idea that there was not a single Egyptian culture, but perhaps more and certainly some that are far more ancient than what we currently know and believe. The movie has everything from bad aliens with nasty weapons to a love story (that avoids the normal Hollywood approach) to scientific fact and speculation.

Summary: One Helluva of a rush
Review: Stargate was perhaps one of the most thought provoking films of the late 90's. Kurt Russell and James Spader are fantastic as the two heroes who battle Jaye Davidson. I Recommend this to Sci Fi Fanatic who can answer the question Would You enter The Star Gate not knowing where you'd end up. (On A personal basis this film's desert scenes were shot in Glamis Valley CA where I Used to Live).

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS DVD
Review: Don't buy this DVD. Don't get me wrong this is a wonderful movie, but the DVD is terrible. The DVD is single layered which means half way through a longer movie, like this one, you have the distinct pleasure of flipping the disc over to enjoy the other half of the film. All is not lost though; there was another edition, a special edition, released shortly after this one that you don't have to flip over. Not only that but it contains a few more special features and instead of this edition's 119min. run time, it runs for 128min. The special edition is for sale here on Amazon.com and actually cost a few dollars less!

Summary: Loved It!
Review: I was a late convert to the Stargate fan club. Better late than never, I always say. Kurt Russell is a great character, and seeing this movie explained all the references I needed to better understand the show. Good movie! I am still a fan.

Summary: Awful.
Review: This really ought to be a one word review. The heading should speak for itself. I gave Independence Day a "2 stars" rating so I could save room at the bottom for this pathetic excuse of a movie. The witless, tone-deaf script, coupled with bad turns from good and bad actors, make this movie difficult to sit through. I didn't leave the theater, but it was really tempting. The only people who might like this movie are the really young (those who are just learning a language), the really dumb, or those who don't think that good writing, good stories, and good acting count for much. I usually try to spare the feelings of those who disagree with me, but this pathetic messy $100 million effort is one of the cinematic crimes of the century. I didn't like it.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: When this first came out I was just beginning middle school. I considered it my favorite movie. When I gave my little sister an amazon gift certificate I remembered likeing it and recommended it(I must be a jackass). I watched it again and had forgotten how much I loved the effects and the mood of the movie. This is a ver originol film and unlike most movies you'll see about egypt. Since I first watched it, however, I have become interested in Egypt, taking courses in college, reading books and journals and even learning hieroglyphs. I must say now that the writers did NOT understand egypt and their mythology AT ALL. I know this is sci-fi and you wouldn't expect it to be realistic but this is way off. The gods look all wrong and the ancient iconography and mythology is way off and misinterpreted. But that shouldn't matter much. After all, it's just a story and it's a pretty good one and it's got the visual effects to back it up.
