The New York Times
Stargate is a clever adventure that should find its audience. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Stargate is a blast from the past in many ways, but it imaginatively employs the latest special effects technology to give audiences new thrills. [24 Oct 1994] - 50
ReelViews
Stargate is peppered with numerous minor faults, some of which - although not all - are easily forgiven. It's the bigger plot problems and lackluster climax which are more difficult to excuse. - 50
Austin Chronicle
Roland Emmerich hasn't bettered us as a culture with Stargate, but he hasn't corrupted us, either. - 50
Washington Post
By the end, the film’s early promise has pretty much degenerated into routine pyrotechnics. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
The film has flashes of psychedelic visual energy, but its story is limp. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Without Davidson Stargate might seem clunky and routine, but he gives it a weirdo charge. It may be a lousy movie, but it's a more enjoyably lousy movie than most. - 50
Chicago Tribune
The arrival of Ra (Jaye Davidson), bearing sci-fi cliches, changes Stargate from a merely hokey movie to one that is truly ridiculous.
