Features: DVD
 
When Professor Daniel Jackson (James Spader) innocently accepts the offer of a mysterious woman to decode an ancient Egyptian artifact known only as the Stargate, he unwittingly takes the first step on an epic adventure that will span 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!Features: Featurette: Is There A Stargate-Including An Interview With Erich von Daniken, Author Of Chariots Of the GodsAudio Commentary With Director Roland Emmerich and Producer Dean DevlinFeaturette: The Making Of Stargate-Includes Never-Before-Seen, Behind-the-Scenes Video and Archival Photographs, and Interviews With Design and Production Team MembersInteractive MenusProduction NotesScene AccessCast and Crew InformationTheatrical TrailerSystem Requirements:Approx.

"The effects conjured up...are inventive, often even thrilling."  Hal Hinson, Washington Post
 


Editor's Note

In this visually creative space adventure from the team that would go on to give the world INDEPENDENCE DAY and GODZILLA, a timid, glasses-wearing Egyptologist (James Spader) uncovers an ancient portal to another planet and is dispatched there forthwith--along with blundering, clodfooted government troops (led by Kurt Russell). The downtrodden populace they encounter, ruled by godlike, androgynous King Ra (Jaye Davidson, in his first role after becoming a star in THE CRYING GAME), must be led to literacy and freedom; Ra must be defeated; the intellectual must find his machismo; and our boys must return to Earth.

Stargate - DVD Review
By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews
Published on: 10/16/2009 5:10 PM
When did I miss the event that made Stargate worthy of an "Ultimate Edition" DVD, complete with director's cut? I guess that MacGyver-starring TV show thing is more popular than I thought. Anyway, if you're unfamiliar with Stargate, the story is pretty straightforward. Military types unearth a big metal ring encoded with Egyptian hieroglyphics, then import a kooky archeologist (James Spader) to figure out what it does -- which, within 30 minutes, involves the opening up of a portal to another world, millions of light years away....read the full review

USA Today
"...Impressive-looking..." 10/28/1994 p.4D

Entertainment Weekly
"...Panache....[A] spectacle which crosses LAWRENCE OF ARABIA with STAR WARS..." -- Rating: B 03/17/1995 pp.96-7

Los Angeles Times
"...Spader is surprisingly funny and resilient..." 10/28/1994 p.F15

James Berardinelli's ReelViews 5 of 10
Stargate is peppered with numerous minor faults, some of which - although not all - are easily forgiven. It's the bigger plot problems and lackluster climax which are more difficult to excuse. Director Roland Emmerich, who previously made Universal Soldier, appears infatuated with his film's look without caring if anything moderately substantial lies beneath the glitz. Stargate is all flashes and bangs - a cinematic fireworks show without the grand finale. - James Berardinelli
