About this movie

When Professor Daniel Jackson (James Spader) innocently accepts the offer of a mysterious woman to decode an ancient Egyptian artifact know only as the Stargate, he unwittingly takes the first step on an epic adventure that will span the galaxies and decide the fate of an entire planet. Colonel Jack O'Neil (Kurt Russell) a true soldier with nerves of steel and a tragic past, is brought back to active duty to commandeer the first trip through the Stargate. On a desert planet on the far side of the universe, Jackson and O'Neil must battle the powerful alien Sun God, Ra (Jaye Davidson). At stake: the freedom of an ancient civilization from slavery and any chance of ever getting home!

Ratings and reviews

It's alright, but not super engaging. I never felt like I could relate with the characters, and the premise is a bit far-fetched. Still, not bad for just sitting back and exploring "what if?"

This original movie of star gate is pretty good,but the series is crap. The series is good if you like seeing all the old actors replaced. P.S Carter ruins the series.

It's a sci-fi classic in my opinion. Pretty damn great until you get to the slave population interaction but great for its time in general. Amazing soundtrack and visuals are really what made it. I think this movie deserves a good remake.
