Stargate (1994 Movie)
Stargate
1994 Theatrical Feature Film
In celebration of the US release of the movie I’ve decided to repost the two episodes we dedicated to the film during the time of the Gatecast, so enjoy the debut of the podcast with Alan and Scott released on May the 12th 2008 and then on December 31st 2016 we had another look at the movie with Mike, Brad and Andrew. The episodes are not a commentary but a general discussion talking through the plot of the movie highlighting the good and bad bits with maybe a little nit-picking along the way.
I don’t think a synopsis of the movie is required but what the hell, a mysterious artifact is found in Egypt, taking to the states under the control of the Air Force. Doctor Daniel Jackson is brought in as perhaps a last ditch effort to decode the hieroglyphs and he discovers the link to star constellations and formulates that the device can be used as a travel system on a galactic scale. Colonel O’Neill leads a team through the gate where they find a primitive human culture enslaved by Ra the Sun god who is actually an alien who stole humans to work for and worship him. Fights break out, the military dudes engineer regime change, the people are free, Daniel gets married and stays with the inlaws.
Great Stuff!
