Reviews for Stargate
A load of gibberish.
02/08/03
The thinness and bizarre randomness of the story is equalled by some unimpressive special effects

Note to director: sand, in and of itself, really isn't all that interesting.

An instant camp classic.

What starts out as not the same-old, same-old sci-fi quickly degenerates into the same-old, same-old action-movie gunplay, and all the potentially interesting ideas the film introduces end up virtually unexplored.

...an encouraging premise, good special effects, excellent sound, and one of the dumbest payoffs in big-budget film history.

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.

Think Star Wars meets Ben-Hur.

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

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

[A] loopy, mostly entertaining sci-fi adventure.
01/01/00
A cinematic fireworks show without the grand finale.
01/01/00
A matinee movie for the kids and little else.

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

Top CriticOffered just enough to keep me interested, despite all of its bombast and unfulfilled promise.
