Stargate the move did not do much for me.
Stargate SG1 the series I liked.
Not only is
Stargate a great setup for
Stargate SG-1, it is an art house science fiction film, a combination we normally don’t see. Both were great in that they combine science fiction with mythology.
For those with no clue to what I just said,
Stargate uses science fiction to “explain” the origins of mythology and Merlin of the Arthurian legend. The gods in mythology were actually aliens. Thousands of years ago, people of Earth passed on what they experienced the best way they knew how. Some of these “gods” were slave-drivers, others were benevolent.
