Stargate Ultimate Edition

In 1928, an ancient Egyptian artifact covered in strange symbols is excavated at the foot of the Great Pyramids.

Decades later the American Government recruits the help of Egyptologist Dr Daniel Jackson (James Spader)to decode the secret of these symbols. He reveals the key to a “stargate”, an intergalactic portal to the far side of the universe. Jackson is joined by a crack military unit led by Colonel O'Neil (Kurt Russell) on a voyage of discovery. Through the stargate they find themselves in a futuristic desert world ruled by the godlike King Ra. Unwittingly Jackson has reopened a space/time corridor that the ancient Egyptions closed to this despotic ruler centuries ago. The band of explorers can only imagine the power they have unleashed and the adventure that is about to unfold.

Critic Reviews:

• " Stargate is a blast from the past in many ways, but it imaginatively employs the latest special effects technology to give audiences new thrills. " – David Hunter

• " It works not because ridiculousness is concealed, but because ridiculousness on this scale becomes something else. Don't let anyone tell you that Stargate, lifeless script and all, isn't clunky fun, proudly trembling on the brink of classic camp. " – Jay Carr

• " The kind of flick where Kurt Russell dispatches an Anubis-looking baddie after first telling him, in the kind of bon mot that elevates the thing an entire letter grade, “Give my regards to King Tut, ahole.” " – **Zaki Hasan
