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

 Great BLU-RAY June 26, 2009

Most older movies on blu-ray are a slight upgrade from DVD at best. Most of the time you get a better looking menu, a few new audio options, and that's about it. The movies themselves look pretty standard. However, Stargate is the exception! This is a huge upgrade. I was amazed to see how great an older movie could look! The movie itself is awesome, definitely a must have!
Best movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!! June 26, 2009

The movie that started it all! 10 Seasons of SG-1 spawned from this movie and I am thankful for all this world had to offer. Don't hesitate to buy on Blu-Ray, its beautiful!

Have you seen the movie? Good, because as far as I can find, there is no way to watch this and know what the aliens are saying without subtitles, and when the subtitles are on, it's on for those speaking english as well. I have to say that I found this incredibly annoying and am fairly upset that this copy was like that, even my VHS copy didn't play it that way.

The Stargate Blu-Ray does not look good at all. I would only buy this on Blu-Ray if you do not own it on any other version, as it is only $10.
