Review:

Tim: I really like this movie. Kurt Russell and James Spader are both incredible in the film. Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin are an incredible pair, as was also seen with their collaboration on Independence Day. This movie is nonstop action and adventure, with a touch of romance and comedy to spice up the film. The film can at times be a bit drawn out, but all in all, the film is excellent. Kurt Russell's line near the end of the movie is hilarious, and one to really watch for.

Stargate is an incredible film to look at. The special effects make the world beyond the stargate come to life. This action/adventure film is one that is just too good to miss. I recommend seeing this film, it will be a ride you won't soon forget.
