Perfect blend of Egyptology and Sci-Fi
This is one of the best Sci-Fi films I have ever seen. The story revolves around an Egyptologist (played brilliantly by James Spader) who is recruited by the military to help unravel the secret of an ancient artifact (the Stargate). Once he solves the mystery, he and a team of soldiers (led by Kurt Russell), enter the Stargate (a portal to other worlds), and find a society of people who appear to be descendants of the ancient Egyptians. They worship gods (including Ra the Sun God), who in reality, are an alien race. Jaye Davidson (of THE CRYING GAME) gives a stellar performance as Ra. Once our heroes figure out Ra's scheme to destroy Earth, they set out to turn the tables on him. It all adds up to a fascinating film that is visually stunning, and leaves the viewer pondering the possibility that maybe the ancient gods were in fact aliens. A great 2 hrs. of entertainment.
An All-Time Favourite Sci-Fi Flick Of Today!
From the director of The Patriot, Godzilla and Independence Day is none other than Roland Emmerich. This is a beautifully crafted movie. It even has spawned the series SG-1. Although the TV series is as good as the film, the film itself is still the best by all comparisons. And this is the kind of film that made you want to watch the movie over and over again. The only downside about this DVD release is that the movie, although in widescreen, is not anamorphically enhanced for 16:9 TVs. Other than that, this DVD release is fine on the overall. Stargate is still one the best sci-fi films up to date. With great plot and storyline, the film is sure to get you to hold on tight to your seats!
And those of you who have a Home Theater System, watch this movie on a loud volume. It'll sure to blow your mind away! :) A one hell of a movie that'll take you on a rollercoaster ride of your life. Calling all sci-fi fans, this is one HOT movie not to be missed!
Just an attempt to get more bucks from fans
If you're like me, you are really - really - getting tired of producers, film compaines, whomever there is to blame re-re-re-releasing the same DVD with different packaging, and calling it the "Ultimate" or "Supreme" or "this time it really is a Limted edition" special releases. The motivation? Raking it in from fans who expect and want more. You'd be better off spending your bucks elsewhere.
There is NOTHING to make this DVD stand out from any of the numerous previous releases. Save your money! Sure the director's cut is great - but it's on what, three previous releases?
