Stargate

Pros: Good plot, great music, well balanced action / humour
Cons: Plot seems a little cliche at times

Having watched this last night and still enjoying it after all this time (it was released in 1994), I thought Stargate might be an appropriate subject as my 600th review on Epinions. The plot goes thus: In the 1920s a rather large artefact ...

Pros: Action, intrigue, a geek hero, a great story and cast, what is not to love.
Cons: None.

Stargate Directed by Roland Emmerich. Written by some unnamed Egyptologist who settled out of court. ”It's not "Door to Heaven"... is…Stargate.” Dr. Daniel Jackson. Picture it: Egypt, 8000 BC. A village is terrified when a gigantic ...

Pros: …
Cons: …

I was just out of high school when this movie first came out. I don’t remember hearing much about it, but I hadn’t really been to the theaters for a while. Years later, I would catch parts of it (usually the end) on Encore or The Sci-Fi Channel. It ...

Pros: a great concept, well executed
Cons: may seem dated by todays standards

After picking this veteran movie up at a car boot sale, remember it is over a decade since it first hit the big screen, I thought that I was going to sit down to watch a now fairly dated and average sci-fi movie. I had seen this at the cinema when it was ...

Pros: Premise, Intrigue, Character, Costume, Direction, Mineral, Spader, Scarub Fighter, Laser Spear, Pyramid, Sha’uri
Cons: Ending, Music, Plot

Its premise well written well directed reroutes so many African music’s in circles globe. It trades credits with script plays from both Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin. It is plus modern music and classic rhythm. The movie is score by Dave Arnold. ...

Pros: The precursor to an excellent show
Cons: Filled with holes

As a fan of Stargate SG-1 (I get the "year behind version" shown on late-night FOX TV after the X-files reruns), and as a fan of epinions. I thought it only suiting that I procure a copy of the movie that started it all Stargate and...

Pros: Premise, story
Cons: The script, the dialogue, the characters, all Horrible, horrible, horrible

I missed this movie in the theatres, but I've watched a few episodes of the TV show, so when I saw a used copy on sale at a going out of business sale, I decided to pick it up. I should've waited for it to come on TV, since now I'm stuck with this DVD ...

Pros: An original concept.
Cons: Bad screenplay; predictable; not suspenseful; just plain boring.

It's hard to find a good sci-fi movie these days. Even with all the technology capable for special effects, you hardly ever see wholly original concepts. "Stargate" is somewhat original in its concept, but the actual script itself is formulated, cliche, ...

Pros: Great story, acting, use of Egyptology and real mythology to create a fictional story
Cons: Slow in a few spots, poor video quality, weak DVD offerings

Since I am drawing close to the completion of my Stargate collection I thought I would start reviewing them. I feel like this is going to be a book-sized undertaking because I intend to go through every episode and feature on all 10 seasons of SG-1 as ...

Pros: Cool story, visuals, effects were decent
Cons: Predictable ending, but it was well done

Stargate is a film about an artifact found which allows humans to travel through space instantaneously to another planet. If you have seen the movie Contact this probably sounds familiar; however, this movie is very different than...

Pros: Explains things well for TV series; innovative plot.
Cons: Script needed work; Richard Dean Anderson not cast as Jack O'Neill

Now, to be fair, I liked this movie. Granted, it can't be that good - it did come in the package of five free movies with my DVD player - but it was quite decent. The serious letdown was that I started to watch the series, which is on FOX in between...

Pros: unique plot and neat dialogue
Cons: not the best acting

Well when I first bought this movie I was skeptical.I have never really been a fan of the sci-fi movie but this one is different.The idea for this movie is unique,which makes it fun and interesting to watch.The idea of a stargate that can take you to far...

Pros: Good plot
Cons: Average cast

I will begin this opinion by saying that I am not the biggest fan of science fiction movies. I never really liked the Star Trek movies all that much. Because of this, I was very skeptical about Stargate. I thought the movie was going to be similar to...

Pros: mindless fun
Cons: just mindless

James Spader plays a university professor whose theories about ancient Egypt are rejected by the academic community. At the beginning of the movie, he is presenting his theories on the origins of the pyramids when the other scholars present walk out in...

Pros: Good Production Values
Cons: Silly, Cliche Story

I have an admission to make: I am a sucker for movies featuring Egyptology. Throw in the Great Pyramids, some hieroglyphics and an ancient mystery to be solved, and you will have my attention. That is why I was looking forward to “Stargate.”...
