Entertainment Reviews:
...For kids, there are relentless special effects....For adults, there is a smartly designed parallel universe....Plenty of enticing moments...
New York Times
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."

Stargate is a blast from the past in many ways, but it imaginatively employs the latest special effects technology to give audiences new thrills.

Rating: 3/5 --
What Emmerich achieves is a sense of grand scale that makes the film fun to watch as a space adventure.

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

4 stars out of 5 -- This remains an uncharacteristically thoughtful sci-fi adventure...

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.
