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

 Still fun to watch August 7, 2008
R. Brown (Florida, USA)
Hadn't seen this one in a long time, although I am a huge fan of both the Stargate series. Amazing how Michael Shanks reprised the role of Daniel Jackson so well! Would recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it or hasn't seen it in a while.
The best August 2, 2008
Robert W. Tait (San Diego, Ca.)
Has always been one of my favorites, but in Blu-ray, even more so.
A must for your Blu-ray collection.
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 Ultimate Edition July 17, 2008

I highly reccomend this particular edition. I still watch this movie at least once a month. I have the entire Stargate SG-1 Series, as well as the Stargate: Ark of Truth movie. I am a big fan and if you like Stargate at least as half as much as I do, please consider Stargate Ultimate Edition. I doubt you'll be disappointed. I wasn't and I love the movie, and the creation of the series.

Always a favorite. BD looks and sounds better than the DVD counterpart but will probably require a good home theater to realize the difference.
