The movie that started the ten year run of Stargate Sg1.

This science fiction movie was released in 1994 and lasts for a great 119 minutes. I loved the movie. I thought it was great how the military and science characters do not really get along. This is the way it is in real life. The military wants to blow everything up and the science guys want to study everything. This movies explains how the Stargate was found and how it works. It also chronicles the first trip through the gate to another planet.

Kurt Russell plays Colonel Jack O'Neil. He is very moody and by the book military. O'Neil is going through some really hard personally stuff but puts his personal life aside to follow orders.

James Spader plays Daniel Jackson a scientist. He is not very confident in himself and he suffers from allergies. The allergies seem to make him a target for jokes among the other members of the group.

Jaye Davidson plays Ra, the sun God. You will find him very arrogant and hard to take. You can not have a good movie with out a good bad guy. Ra will be very bad. He is really a human who has been taken over by an alien. Another way of saying this is he is a host to the alien.

This first movie is just a start. It has some good special effects and great come backs.

When you buy this movie on DVD you will get lots of extras. You will be able to see cast and crew information as well as the making of the Stargate.
