Stargate (DVD 2001)

i bought this film for my partener who loves stargate he has the whole collection,he loves anything to do with sci-fi,he can sit and watch these over and over agian,for all those stargate fans out there you need this film to add to your collection,

Stargate is so good it spawned a very popular TV series. That's a pretty good recommendation right there! In fact you could say it spawned two series, Stargate SG1 & Stargate: Atlantis, but I think the second is more a spin-off of the first.

Anyhoo, the movie has a sci-fi theme, and is heavy on the action. Also, there's a '2001: A Space Odyssey' kind of concept along the lines of aliens influencing Earth's development. The end of the movie is conclusive, but leaves it wide open for a sequel, which did not happen strangely. But now we have the TV show, which is probably the best format.

All in all, this is a great movie. Cool sci-fi action, not to much thinking to be done, as is a common complaint from some people, and a star turn from Kurt Russel.

i love the film so much and had to buy so i can watch over and over again, i'm a big fan of stargate and would buy more products like this one

i'm not to keep on the stargate series but this film was the start and i remember my grandad showing it to me when i was younger sondering the time it was made it is still good graphicly and it is still as good as i remember seing it when i was younger also it has reather good speachal effects not to fancy but just as much it needs to bring it to life.

thank yuo very much this is a gr8 film am so glad i bought it cheers mate, its a classic would requemend it to anyone gr8 acting . and a gr8 starter for a brillent series

This is the pilot to the SG1 television series and is a must for anyone wanting to watch the series for the first time, it gives the history to the Stargate its discovery and its first know use....you will have to watch the series to find out if the gate had been used earlier in than the film show.

Brilliant cast and story line well directed and the music is award winning.

This is an all time great movie that a ton of people never get to see as it wasnt ever that well known.
A film packed full of great actors like Kirt Douglas and James Spader make this a must see from the start.

The story is very thought provoking and goes into an area that no other film has gone before. Making you think about ancient egypt and the pyramids in a completely diffrent light.

If you like sci fi in any way shape or form then you must see this film, if you like egypt and the mystery surrounding its history then you must see this film.

Go on from the film to Stargate SG1 and Atlantis and you can while away weeks of your life with sheer enjoyment.

Finally dont rent it BUY IT.

This movie has it all. It's like The Mummy meets Star Trek, or Indiana Jones meets Star Wars. It was that good they made TEN seasons of a spin - off (SG-1), and that takes some going. And now they have followed this up with he equally impressive, Stargate Atlantis. After collecting the SG1 dvds, I thought it was time to buy this little beauty to have for the collection, as I only have it on VHS at the moment, which I watched recently. And no, it doesnt loose its magic.

It was an excellent film. I bought it because I like science fiction and it was totally unbelievable but fantastic. The special effects where excellent.

forget star trek this has got to be the best sci fi films ever made great effects and a great story line

For me, I enjoyed the film due to the fact it told me how Stargate SG1 came about. If I wasn't a huge fan of Stargate SG1 I do not think this film would have interested me. Unfortunately I saw most of the SG1 series before I watched the film, which is obviously the wrong way round. I feel this has made my opinion very biased, because I had grown to know and love Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping and Christopher Judge as the characters in SG1, therefore when it came to some completely different actors in the film it just wasn't the "Stargate" I knew.
Therefore I would definately advise you to watch the film before the series. Oh by the way....the series are amazing :D

it was something i have been waiting to purchase for some time
i just really enjoy the film
i just came across it and thought i would buy this and after several attempts i won

one of my best buys on ebay

Well where do I start with such a classic. This film spawned a TV series that lasted 10 seasons called 'Stargate SG-1', it wasn't cancelled through lack of people watching it'd just run it's course - that in turn spawned a spin off series called 'Stargate Atlantis' - which isnow in it's 3rd season.

If that isn't enough of a push - then here goes. It's a fantastic sci-fi film that is in the now, today, not in the future. A device has been found in Egypt - this device allows instant transport via a wormhole to another planet deep into space. I don't want to spoil it but lets just say there are bad guys, great fight scenes - moving story lines and it helped kick start the greatest scifi show the world has ever seen.

excellent film would recomend it to anyone who likes stargate and thoughs who dont its a good watch for all the family or just you its enjoyable not to long and great work.

Decided to buy as my husband really enjoys Stargate and has this on video and we are gradually replacing all of our videos.

Film excellant have seen many times and will watch many more times.

I've had a DVD player for a while, and I wanted a copy of the film on DVD,
to replace my VHS collection

Basically speaking, I like most science fiction! But not Science Fantasy, whether its a Film like Stargate, or made for TV like Deep space 9,
in fact anything to do with space, time travel, and the future,
and I'll sit and watch it, providing that I've got the time to do it,

So why do I like Stargate? I like Stargate and its two spin off series,
Stargate SG1, and Stargate Atlantis, I like the balance of the Film,
The way the film was put together, unlike some of the programs and films I've seen, I find Stargate to be intelligent, well thought out, entertaining and enjoyable to watch again and again, which means for me that the producers and directors got the mixture between the past the presence and the future just right, I'm getting a little ahead with this, the original film was about the Stargate which was found in Gaza Egypt in 1926, it was transported to a secret Underground Nuclear silo, deep inside a mountain in the United States,

Doctor Daniel Jackson was recruited as a translator, to translate the Cymbals on the Stargate, He helped figure out how to open the Stargate, to another world, A world halfway across the known Universe in the Caleb Galaxy,
the team went through the Stargate but could return because they had to find the Cymbals for the return journey, which would allow them to make the return home, once they got to the other side or the wormhole their Adventures began.

I won't spoil the ending for you, if you've not seen the Movie, you are missing a rare treat, and it’s an excellent film.

has the exellent dts sound experience. 9 extra minutes of footage and behind the scenes extras. if you love the recent stargate sg1 or atlantis, then go back 11 years and see how the programmes you love now started then. a must for any fan, and first time viewer.
