Trivia:
As it happens in Mexico with most movie titles translated from English, the title for this movie was "La puerta del tiempo" which translates to "The Gate of Time". Some moviegoers mistakenly thought the far away planet the squad goes to was just a very early time in Egypt, and were seriously confused with the storyline. more
Goofs:
Plot holes: Even though nobody knew what the Stargate was for, they had a system that indicated the probe's molecular deconstruction and a star map. more
Quotes:

Colonel Jonathan "Jack" O'Neil: I'll be seeing you around... Doctor Jackson.

A solid Sci-Fi treat, 12 July 2004
Author: wnterstar from United States

I loved this movie. It captured my attention quickly and kept it throughout the movie.

It's a great ensamble cast and the special effects add to the movie's appeal, rather than BEING the appeal.

The premise is engaging, and gives some very plausible explainations for mysteries that have stumped man for thousands of years. The bad guys are just as engagine as the good guys and that makes the movie all that much more enjoyable.

I would give this movie an 8 out of 10. It's not perfect, but good for a very enjoyable movie night!
