"Stargate" premieres 1994



I found this movie to be surprisingly good!  Stargate, released October 28, 1994, is a science fiction movie mixed with ancient Egypt overtones.  It starred Kurt Russell (swoon!), James Spader, who is actually tolerable in it, and Jaye Davidson.  French Stewart, from Third Rock from the Sun, made his movie debut as Lt. Ferretti. Roland Emmerich directed the blockbuster.  

For a while, it set the record for highest-grossing release in October, bringing in well over $71M.  Of course, the critics didn't like it. But they don't like anything.

Stargate won a Saturn Award (Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films) for Best Science Fiction Film.
