Reviews for Stargate
A load of gibberish.

The thinness and bizarre randomness of the story is equalled by some unimpressive special effects

Stargate will satisfy those who are single-mindedly focused on the fabulous premise of instant travel through space, and time. But it could have, and should have, been done much better than this.

Production design, costumes and special effects are superb and they all make the alien world very convincing.

The movie Ed Wood, about the worst director of all time, was made to prepare us for Stargate.
