Stargate the movie is well acted, well directed and has an amazing concept. Kurt Russell was terrific as was James Spader who stole the show. Along with the very lovely girl who was honestly innocent and just breathtakingly captivating in her innocence and her smarts and determination. She was the perfect woman to Dr Jackson and being a first time actress acted resolutely and well against seasoned actors.
The whole concept of Stargate was not yet fully established nor details provided on the background of Ra or his uprising mentioned or where he came from, his species etc. (TV shows go in this fully) but it was so well done. Some of the lines are just iconic "Show him", "Banniwei", "It's your Stargate", "we're going home" etc.
Amazing movie. For me, this is in my top 5 movies of all time.
Rating: 10/10
Kurt Russell and James Spader are brilliant. Good plot to the movie.
Bought on Bluray with extended cut.
But this is movie will be amazing once on 4k UHG if extended cut. Plus with digital copy of-cause. So MGM/UA get this done!
Very Recommended.
Once upon a time, 1928 to be exact, archeologists discovered a strange disc buried in the sand of Egypt. The next thing we know we are in the present, and Egyptologist Daniel Jackson (James Spader), is having his colleagues walk out on him as he explains his radical theory about the ancient Egyptians and their language. But then a mysterious old woman (Viveca Lindfors) gives him an invitation to travel to a secret military base buried beneath the Rocky Mountains to do translations. Jackson has nothing else to do, so he shows up, immediately corrects all the mistakes and figures out all the mysteries, and the next thing we know he is being shown the Stargate. He then joins a military group led by Colonel Jack O'Neil (Kurt Russell), who has been recalled back to active duty to find out where you go to when you step through the Stargate. The answer is you go to the other side of the known universe where you discover a desert planet where an alien who was known as Ra (Jaye Davidson) by the ancient Egyptians is lording it over the local humanoids.
This movie is mostly eye candy. Being shot on a desert planet means that it has lots of scenes shot in bright sunlight, which really is unusual for a science fiction film, where they tend to be dark and murky. "Stargate" brings back the same sort of ideological tension between scientists and the military that we enjoyed during the 1950s with films like "The Thing From Another World," as Jackson is all excited to explore a brave new world and O'Neill is looking for an excuse to blow everything up with the nuke in the big suitcase.
Truth about this movie is that it the ideas are a lot better than than the execution. The idea of the Stargate is a nice way of circumventing the laws of physics that scoff at warp drive and other narrative necessities to a good space yarn. It is not a far leap of logic to get from this one Stargate to the idea that there are others, and there is also the nice corrollary that this system explains why there are so many humans scattered throughout the galaxy where they all live on oxygen breathing planets.
Beyond that the television series picks up on the Jackson-O'Neill dyad, reducing it to the idea that one is an academic and the other is a warrior and never the twain shall meet. Of course Richard Dean Anderson's O'Neill is even quirkier than Spader's Jackson, while Michael Shanks's Jackson starts off even more humorless than Russell's O'Neill. But it all works, so why quibble? The original "Stargate" ends up being more about style than substance, which is why it is so interesting that the television series could find something substantial upon which to build a television series.
If you have yet to see "Stargate" in any version, then you are strongly urged to proceed immediately from this 1994 film to the first season of "Stargate SG-1." Even if you find this film tedious, just get through it and move on to the good stuff. You could not pass go and head directly for season one of "Stargate SG-1," but you really need to know the players and some of the rules of the game before hand.

Bevor Roland Emmerich mit INDEPENDENCE DAY endgültig zu Hollywoods Master Of Desaster avancierte, legte er mit dem Sci-Fi-Streifen STARGATE vor. Heute mag man sich über die vergleichsweise unbeholfenen CG-Effekte lustig machen, oder daß man bei den Angriffen der Gleiter deutlich die Drähte sehen kann - die sympathischen Darsteller und die Story reißen es wieder raus, hier dominiert noch nicht das Effektgewitter (der Fehler mit dem "Auge des Ra" ist allerdings unentschuldbar peinlich!). Inhaltlich wird dieser Film vor allem jenen gefallen, die die Konfrontation mit fremden Kulturen fasziniert - ähnlich wie z.B. in LAST SAMURAI, SHOGUN oder DER MIT DEM WOLF TANZT. Für mich ist dieser Film übrigens der EINZIG GÜLTIGE Eintrag aus dem Stargate-Universum, mit den drölfzigtausend TV-Spin-offs habe ich mich nie beschäftigt. Besonders erfreulich: im Gegensatz zum DVD-Release sind die zusätzlichen Szenen endlich in der richtigen Auflösung und farbkorrigiert! Lasst euch also nicht von Kurt Russells albernen Bürstenhaarschnitt ablenken und betretet das Sternentor: IT WILL TAKE YOU A MILLION LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME. BUT WILL IT BRING YOU BACK?
Le coffret est arrivé en avance par rapport à la date prévue tout était en parfait état. Je suis très contente de mon achat 😃
