Editorial Reviews:

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

User Comments about the Stargate (Extended Cut) [Blu-ray]

Yet, through a mixture of likable characters, exciting action sequences, and strong soundtrack, Stargate is surprisingly good. It's not too bad, but I do think it might be worth investing in a special edition and adding better graphics (especially for that desert animal in the beginning). The movie and plot are pretty accessible to any audience.Some of the special effects look a bit dated. On its face, a movie about aliens enslaving ancient Egyptians could seems more like a failed Sci-Fi Channel idea than a blockbuster hit. I hadn't watched it in years, but was pleasantly surprised when I watched it recently that Stargate has held up pretty well all these years. By and large though, the special effects are more than adequate to make the movie work. Moreover, I watched the movie with my wife, who is definitely not a fan of sci-fi movies, and she loved it.

One of the best series of all times. I'm speechless and overwhelmed, what can you say about the best.

Waste of money for the blue ray version, Will never by anything with lions gate on it again

This is another movie where it's pointless to have it out on blu-ray. Crappy TV show, but good movie.Thank you. It wasn't meant for that format.Good movie though.

A wonderful start to a great franchise. For under $7 it is a great price for a great film, and will help complete your collection of Stargate material, if you do not own it already. I love this movie, and when I purchased the 10 complete series of Stargate SG-1 I had to buy this to kick it off.
