Stargate

CriticsCritics: 48
AudienceAudience: 7.2

A linguist and a military team activate an ancient device discovered in Egypt, opening a passage to a distant world inhabited by people living under the rule of a powerful figure worshipped as a god. Stranded far from home, they must navigate an unfamiliar society and confront a growing threat.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like imaginative 1990s science-fiction adventures blending ancient history, military action, and alien worlds; Not for you if you need modern effects, deep characterization, or consistently realistic action.
