2/4
"A load of gibberish."  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

3.5/5
"Still, this is a decent little diversion, the kind of pure popcorn fodder that would find a far more ballsy form when Will Smith took on city-sized flying saucers in Independence Day."  PopMatters  Bill Gibron

B+
"Has matured wonderfully, sustaining as a curious genre exercise in blockbuster yearn marked by surprising buoyancy, madly entertaining performances, and a fertile cinematic imagination behind the camera not yet corrupted by massive box office success."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  Brian Orndorf

2.5/5
"The thinness and bizarre randomness of the story is equalled by some unimpressive special effects"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

2.5/5
"The thinness and bizarre randomness of the story is equalled by some unimpressive special effects."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

6/10
"Production design, costumes and special effects are superb and they all make the alien world very convincing."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dragan Antulov

2/4
"A cinematic fireworks show without the grand finale."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2.5/4
"A matinee movie for the kids and little else."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

6/10
"...an encouraging premise, good special effects, excellent sound, and one of the dumbest payoffs in big-budget film history."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"What starts out as not the same-old, same-old sci-fi quickly degenerates into the same-old, same-old action-movie gunplay, and all the potentially interesting ideas the film introduces end up virtually unexplored."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3/5
"The main problem with Stargate is not with set-up, but with execution. After a while you feel like you're just watching weird people staggering around a desert."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg
