Anecdotes:

Costume designer Joseph A. Porro was jokingly referred to as "The evil Joseph Porro" after the film was scored because the music turns ominous at the same time his name appears in the opening credits.

Goofs:

élément de l'intrigue manquant: When they first activate the Stargate, Catherine Langford states "this is as far as we have ever been able to get," because they need the last symbol. Why wouldn't they have tried all the remaining symbols, one by one, until they found the last (seventh) one?

Guillemet:

Dr. Daniel Jackson: [to Colonel O'Neil] I don't want to die. And your men don't want to die, and these people certainly don't want to die. It's a shame you're in such a hurry to.

Potential!

What grabbed me about this movie was the potential it had. There was just so much that could be done with this dynamite idea. That alone made this an essential part of my movie collection.

The movie itself is quite average and while worth seeing, isn't going to knock your socks off. The acting is from adequate to good; the effects were well done and quite nicely not overdone.

So it's a fantastic idea that wasn't ruined, but isn't spectacular. The actors carry themselves well and this is a worthy addition to any sci-fi collection (especially those who like the idea of alternate history for mankind - See Alien vs. Predator).

I normally don't write such quick reviews, but this is what I felt about the movie and I think that much more would give away too much for those who haven't seen it.
