Before they unleashed the idiotic mayhem of Independence Day and Godzilla, the idea-stealing team of director Roland Emmerich and producer-screenwriter Dean Devlin concocted this hokey hit about the discovery of an ancient portal capable of zipping travelers to "the other side of the known universe." James Spader plays the Egyptologist who successfully translates the Stargate's hieroglyphic code, and then joins a hawkish military unit (led by Kurt Russell) on a reconnaissance mission to see what's on the other side. They arrive on a desert world with cultural (and apparently supernatural) ties to Earth's ancient Egypt, where the sun god Ra (played by Jaye Davidson from The Crying Game) rules a population of slaves with armored minions and startlingly advanced technology. After being warmly welcomed into the slave camp, the earthlings encourage and support a rebellion, and while Russell threatens to blow up the Stargate to prevent its use by enemy forces, the movie collapses into a senseless series of action scenes and grandiose explosions. It's all pretty ridiculous, but Stargate found a large and appreciative audience, spawned a cable-TV series, and continues to attract science fiction fans who are more than willing to forgive its considerable faults. --Jeff Shannon

 The Origin of it all July 21, 2008
The Original Story...
The begining of a great, never ending, now redundant saga...
You can see, in this movie alone, the First ever, and now famous
"Wave of Power" after the destruction of the Pyramid/Ship.
Stargate BD July 16, 2008
Always a favorite. BD looks and sounds better than the DVD counterpart but will probably require a good home theater to realize the difference.
Great Movie and Okay BluRay Transfer July 14, 2008
Have always enjoyed this movie.
The transfer to BluRay is okay. No doubt sharper but because of the age of the original movie it seems as though the transfer also boosted noise and grain.
Still enjoyed the movie in the BluRay format alot!
 Quality July 9, 2008
This I must say as a kid was my favorite movie. The Movie is good and that's what saves this. The reason I gave it two stars is because the video quality is horrible for bluray standards. I own other blurays and this is the worst I have seen. The special features are slim also. Back to quality of dvd the audio is great, picture is bad with signs of decent when there is light dark scenes look like standard early dvds. So just buy it on standard.
The beginning and ending of worlds, infinity and eternity June 22, 2008
Dr. Daniel Jackson (James Spader of "Wolf" 1994 popularity) does the unthinkable by even suggesting that The Ancient Egyptian Civilization may have been influenced by outside influences, very outside influences. This runs off all inquiries to his theories.
But wait it looks like some one is interested in his cryptology abilities. Catherine Langford (Viveca Lindfors) had a secret that her daddy found years ago. Her secret will change the life of Daniel and Col. Jonathan 'Jack' O'Neil (Kurt Russell). Turns out that they will have a mission that will take them on a sojourn to the other end of the known universe. We go with them. What will we find and will we be able to bet back?

I will not compare media distributions however now Blue-ray and extended versions have become the common and not an exception.
