A classic movie, so very well done....It led us to purchase the Series "SG1", which is a spin off of this movie, and there is another spin off series, after SG1....It goes on and on, and it all starts here... a 5 Star Movie...Highly Recommend. !!!

I thought this movie would be like the TV series it inspired. Not so, and not nearly as good. Was not science fiction but fantasy, and probably best for kids under 14 years old. Character of arch villain was ludicrous and supposed science was straight out of a comic book. In fact, this movie was strictly comic book stuff. The scenery was pretty and that's about all that can be said for this movie.

This is one of the classics of Sci-Fi cinema, a movie that spawned not only a (so far) 10-season television series, but also a second series beginning its third season, as I write this review! I think we've all had dreams about finding an ancient artifact that will give us magical powers or allow us to travel through space (well, maybe its just nerds like me, but nevertheless). Well, that's what happens to infamous Egyptologist Dr. Daniel Jackson, a man on the fringes of the academic community because of his insane theories about aliens and the pyramids. Long story short, he's proved right, and he gets to travel to a distant world where the gods of Egypt still reign supreme, and humanity is nothing more than slave labor. I still recall the first time I saw this movie. I went again the next day, with the same group of friends. I think I saw it five times at the theater in all, a feat no movie was able to duplicate until the LotR series came to the big screen. Needless to say, I highly recommend this thoughtful, exciting science fiction film. Any serious DVD collector should have one in his/her library!Read full review
A truly inspired Sci-Fi film with an original premise. Definitely the worthy forerunner for the long running series. I remember watching this when it first was released. The SG1 and Stargate Atlantis television series have only done it justice and shown its universal and incredible appeal. I fully expect to see more great things from this original movie spun off into the days to come. Fabulous script, special effects, acting, editing and production! A true classic in the Sci-Fi/Action genres.
I love this movie travel outside our Galaxy to new worlds
