Rating: B+ --
"Has matured wonderfully, sustaining as a curious genre exercise in blockbuster yearn marked by surprising buoyancy, madly entertaining performances, and a fertile cinematic imagination behind the camera not yet corrupted by massive box office success."

[A] loopy, mostly entertaining sci-fi adventure.

What Emmerich achieves is a sense of grand scale that makes the film fun to watch as a space adventure.

...Panache....[A] spectacle which crosses LAWRENCE OF ARABIA with STAR WARS... -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly
Stargate is a blast from the past in many ways, but it imaginatively employs the latest special effects technology to give audiences new thrills.

Stargate starts promisingly... But it then turns into an interminable exercise in special effects and not-so-special fisticuffs.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Still, this is a decent little diversion, the kind of pure popcorn fodder that would find a far more ballsy form when Will Smith took on city-sized flying saucers in Independence Day.

Product Description:
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.
