Mo S. @9mr_0 5d فلم جميل وقصه جميله See more Jessica Z Dec 2 Stargate series is one of the best sci fi of our generation See more Brandon S Nov 8 There's a really good movie in here if they went with an R rating instead. It just gets too campy to stick with for 2hrs. See more Judith K Aug 29 A little late to the party, but I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I have long been a fan of both Kurt Russel and James Spader, and neither disappoints. Visually the movie is a treat, the special effects have aged well, and the musical score is quite thrilling. Back in the day it must have greatly pleased the "pyramids were built by aliens" contingent. See more Robert M Jul 19 From the moment the colossal ring whirred to life, Stargate launched audiences into an adventure that transcended typical science fiction, creating a truly exhilarating cinematic experience. Far from a mere special effects showcase, the film, helmed by the visionary Roland Emmerich, masterfully blended ancient myth with futuristic concepts, crafting a narrative that was both intellectually stimulating and undeniably thrilling. Kurt Russell, as Colonel Jack O'Neil, delivered a wonderfully nuanced performance, portraying a man wrestling with personal grief while stoically facing an impossible mission. His understated heroism provided a grounding force amidst the otherworldly spectacle. James Spader, as the quirky and brilliant Dr. Daniel Jackson, brought an infectious enthusiasm to the discovery of the Stargate's secrets, making his character's journey of understanding genuinely engaging. The interplay between these two disparate personalities, one a seasoned military man and the other an academic, formed the heartwarming core of the film. The production design was simply breathtaking, transporting viewers to a meticulously crafted alien world that felt both ancient and utterly convincing. The visual effects, groundbreaking for their time, have aged remarkably well, especially the iconic wormhole sequence which remains a marvel of cinematic engineering. Beyond the technical achievements, Stargate succeeded in building a rich mythology, hinting at a vast universe waiting to be explored. The concept of ancient civilizations being influenced by extraterrestrial visitors was presented with a captivating blend of wonder and intrigue, sparking the imagination and leaving audiences eager for more. Even Ra, the primary antagonist, despite his imposing presence, contributed to the film's overall mystique, serving as a formidable, almost god-like, obstacle. This film was a triumphant blend of action, discovery, and genuine human emotion, proving that big-budget science fiction could be both intellectually satisfying and profoundly entertaining. It's a journey well worth taking, leaving you with a lasting sense of awe and the irresistible urge to explore the stars. See more Mark J Jul 11 Strong sci-if which only falls with a lower score due to a bit of aging. Also I’m not sure how the people believe the headgear of the “gods” are real heads.
