Om denne film

Kurt Russell ("Escape From New York"), James Spader ("Supernova) and Academy Award® nominee Jaye Davidson ("The Crying Game") head the cast in this sweeping science fiction adventure that started it all. Set against the wondrous backdrop of the Great Pyramids of Giza, "Stargate" tells the story of two very different men -- tough-minded military man Colonel Jack O'Neil and brilliant Egyptologist Daniel Jackson -- who join forces to unravel the mystery of a curious artifact, a StarGate, which could reveal the origin of civilization. O'Neil leads Jackson and a reconnaissance team through the StarGate, which transports them millions of light years from Earth where they are stranded on a strange and alien planet. When the enigmatic ruler of this extraordinary world, Ra, discovers that the doorway to Earth can be reopened, he devises a deadly plot. Racing against time, O'Neil and Jackson must overcome Ra if they are to save Earth and find a way back home.

SUBTITLES ARE PRESENT. There seems to much debate about the presence or absence of subtitles for the non-english dialog. This rather excellent movie does include translation subtitles for MUCH of the alien dialog but not all, we are meant to be a little confused, just like Jackson was confused to begin with. Once he "understands the vowels", translation subtitles start kicking in full time. Additionally, because of the nature of the translation subtitles, they are bypassed if you are watching with English Sub's. If you want to know what the aliens are saying, leave sub's off.

This version of the film seems to be complete. There seem to be other versions of this film listed in the Play Store which are missing English subtitles for Ra's dialogue. I can imagine how difficult it would be to follow certain critical plot points without them. This version DOES have those subtitles.
