Stargate is a movie that spawned a fan following and then sprouted TV series and a couple more films (maybe I’ll have to watch those too). I am also one of those fans, but my fandom is limited to the original movie. I have a friend who watched the TV series and loved it.
Anyway, this movie, like Gothika, is one I have watched several times, over and over, and don’t get bored of it. I love the mythology aspect of it, and the sci-fi aspect, it’s just so good. Oh! I forgot about all the astronomy! Another favorite topic of mine!
There’s just so much that appeals to me about the movie, even the character development, especially the two main characters! All I can say is if you haven’t watched it by now, you probably should.
