Stargate Ratings & Reviews
- ርልዪረFebruary 8, 2025Good sci-fi blast from the past
- Michael Surber1d agoIt's a compelling watch and I usually get sucked in to watching most of it. Hard to resist both Spader and Russell and they both are in peak form here. Visually, it's stunning but it seems like a lot of fluff and filler at day's end. Regardless, it's a fun film that has held up better than many of it's counterparts from the 80s-90s have. If you haven't watched it, I'd recommend it.
- Richard DavisDecember 14, 2025Classic Sci-Fi original that spawned a universe. Great world-builing. A must-watch for any sci-fi nerds. One of the best sci-fi movies of the 90's and boy this has aged like a fine wine. You'd never know that this was 30 or so years old - and the fx hold up like they do in T2.
- AngusMcNutzAugust 22, 2025Holds a special place in my heart being among the first sci-fi mainstays that I watched growing up before I was aware of how clunky Emmerich's writing is and continues to be. Things just kind of happen and most scenes are fueled by the 90s style "We've gotta do the thing" pacing. Points to set and costume design though. Roland knows what he likes.
- Y0URmessiahNovember 14, 2025Great sci-fi goodness
- Juan Carlos Gomez RodriguezOctober 21, 2025Sci-Fi Classic. Must See
- RichardOctober 19, 2025Saw this one in the cinema when it came out and the concept alone had me hooked: a giant ring buried in Egypt that turns out to be an alien teleportation device? Sold. Later grabbed it on DVD, then upgraded to Blu-ray when I wanted the desert vistas and alien temples in full detail. It’s Roland Emmerich doing what he does best, big ideas, big sets and a script that occasionally forgets how humans talk. But the ambition? Massive. James Spader plays the nerdy linguist with heart, Kurt Russell brings military grit and Jaye Davidson floats through the film as Ra with eerie elegance. The production design leans into ancient Egyptian iconography with sci-fi flair, golden masks, pyramid ships and glowing tech that looks like it was built by a civilization that loved drama. The pacing is pure ’90s: “We’ve gotta do the thing!” urgency, exposition dumps and slow pans over sand dunes. But it works. The score swells, the stakes rise and the final showdown delivers. I loved the crazy idea and execution. It felt like someone mashed up Lawrence of Arabia, 2001 and Flash Gordon, then added a dash of military bravado.
- rafciokSeptember 7, 2025Excellent adventure that started it all. A must see for all SG Related tv show fans!
- jonasionNovember 22, 2025They just don't make movies like this anymore. You can't see it is 30+ years old. Great story.
- davidbrit2June 4, 2025Sit back, relax, and let your ur mind exercise its imagination to the fullest extent!
- 0 1October 13, 2025Stargate is the best sci-fi movie of 90's and 20's A truly creative script.
- Brian BorgattiAugust 30, 2025Amazing and an incredible visualization of a famous syfy writers novel. Though the story shares nothing with the movie, other than a Stargate. Regardless, it's a movie dear to the heart of a nerd born in 1980
- tellumAugust 21, 2025Unique concept with a good ‘big action’ execution, there could’ve been more depth but I’m assuming the TV show did a better job with that.
- Nick BanasAugust 16, 2025Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I couldn't get behind this one. After watching Stargate SG-1 (the tv series) I was like, "Wow there's a movie that inspired this thing, cool!" I can understand why people would like this movie, but for me, it was just lacking. I don't know what it could be, I can't put my finger on it, but yeah.
- SkyShazadAugust 8, 2025Watched this again, this is still an awesome movie after so many Years. I feel the Director's cut is much better, which I watched this time around. It's a Classic Sci-fi film
