DVD Reviews of Stargate (Ultimate Edition)

DVD Review: Why do we spend so much money on a product of low quality?
Summary: 1 Stars

I had the Special Edition of this movie for quite sometime until the Ultimate Edition came about some years ago. I exchanged it and was able to compare the two pictures. The picture quality of the ULTIMATE was way too much better. Unfurtunately the ULTIMATE EDITION has a burnt piece of frame in a place the Special Edition hasn't. When James Spader is watching the dunes when they arrive at the New Planet. This is totally unacceptable. It's the same as buying the 2nd Platinum Edition of SNOW WHITE and discover there are dirt and debris on some frames just to annoy us, the consumer.

DVD Review: WARNING!!
Summary: 1 Stars

Amazon.com should make it more clear, that this is not the standard "Ultimate Edition" but the Ultimate Edition (version 2). These are not the same sets. Even though reviews and images posted are of the original... THIS IS NOT IT.

The V.2 does not come with the original theatrical version, and is just the "Extended Cut". On top of that the transfer is so poor, you have a better chance of seeing a higher quality version taped off of a television broadcast from 15 years ago. The picture is excessively grainy, blurry in most spots, and the colors are faded or washed out.

This belongs in a dollar DVD bin. I thought that for less than[..] on sale, I was getting a bargain... now I feel ripped off. While it may cost close to your standard video rental, it will be watched fewer times. It's truly sad that such a magnificent movie can't ever be viewed again how it was originally intended to be seen.

My advice... Avoid all Artisan Entertainment products until they can figure out how a movie is meant to be watched.

DVD Review: Very pleased
Summary: 5 Stars

I got my video right away, and was very pleased. I am a stargate fan and will be buying more videos.

DVD Review: Decent and Original Sci-Fi Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I much prefer this movie over any of the "stargate" TV series spin-offs. I like the originality of the story, the special effects, and some of the character interaction.

I give it 4 stars because, as is often the case, Sci-Fi movies suffer from having excellent plots and acting.

Neverthless, if you're a Sci-Fi fan, this movie should be in your collection.

Recommended!

DVD Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is awesome, a great story with action and comedy, without the unnecessary bad language and sex scenes.

Description of Stargate (Ultimate Edition)

When Professor Daniel Jackson (James Spader) innocently accepts the offer of a mysterious woman to decode an ancient Egyptian artifact known only as "Stargate," he unwittingly takes the first step on an epic adventure that will span galaxies and decide the fate of an entire planet. Colonel Jack O'Neil (Kurt Russell), a true soldier with nerves of steel and a tragic past, is brought back to active duty to commandeer the first trip through the "Stargate." On a desert planet on the far side of the universe, Jackson and O'Neil must battle the powerful alien Sun God, Ra (Jaye Davidson). At stake: the freeing of an ancient civilization from slavery and any chance of ever getting home!
Before they unleashed the idiotic mayhem of Independence Day and Godzilla, the idea-stealing team of director Roland Emmerich and producer-screenwriter Dean Devlin concocted this hokey hit about the discovery of an ancient portal capable of zipping travelers to "the other side of the known universe." James Spader plays the Egyptologist who successfully translates the Stargate's hieroglyphic code, and then joins a hawkish military unit (led by Kurt Russell) on a reconnaissance mission to see what's on the other side. They arrive on a desert world with cultural (and apparently supernatural) ties to Earth's ancient Egypt, where the sun god Ra (played by Jaye Davidson from The Crying Game) rules a population of slaves with armored minions and startlingly advanced technology. After being warmly welcomed into the slave camp, the earthlings encourage and support a rebellion, and while Russell threatens to blow up the Stargate to prevent its use by enemy forces, the movie collapses into a senseless series of action scenes and grandiose explosions. It's all pretty ridiculous, but Stargate found a large and appreciative audience, spawned a cable-TV series, and continues to attract science fiction fans who are more than willing to forgive its considerable faults. --Jeff Shannon
