Note : Roland Emmerich is known for large, over the top spectacle and campy storylines, and his breakthrough film is no exception. Not content with doing just one racism, he decided to combine two usually unrelated racist tropes, ancient astronauts and white saviors, into one film, and combine them with the sappiest war movie clichés possible. The result is, suprisingly, actually pretty good if you turn off most of your brain, with an Indiana Jones-inspired prologue, sprawling alien vistas, epic reveals one after another, plenty of cringe dialogue, and, well, pyramid-shaped space ships. The cast is better than it needs to be, with James Spader and Kurt Russell taking the lead, backed by Viveca Lindfors, Djimon Hounsou, Erick Avari, and others, and the production design, cinematography, practical effects, and even most of the fairly sparingly used CGI is top-notch. Fun for the whole family, if you don't mind being told time and time again that brown people can't do shit for themselves.
In a prologue, a young Egyptian man (presumably in prehistory) approaches a giant space ship descending from the sky, and is hit by a flash of light. In another prologue, in the 1920s, an archaeologist uncovers a large, ring-shaped artifact made of a strange metal. In the current day, that archaeologist's daughter, now an old woman, attends a lecture by lingusist and egyptologist Daniel Jackson, who has some kooky theories about the pyramids, and invites him to a research project trying to decode the "stargate" her father found. Jackson, being a very smart kook, instantly solves the problem, the stargate is activated, and he's ready to travel to another part of the galaxy. Along comes borderline suicidal special operations colonel Jack O'Neill, who doesn't like no nerds, and a group of soldiers. They arrive on a distant planet where the locals appear to be descendants of ancient Egyptians, and who worship the god Ra. Ra, however, turns out to be a very real alien, inhabiting the now immortal body of the man we saw in the first prologue, and he and his animal-head-helmeted henchmen are none too happy about people from Earth interfering in his slave population, so there's no choice but to white savior all their asses.
This Koch remaster is quite good, nice, filmic contrast and color, restrained grain and decent sharpness. The 7.1 remaster sounds good, the director/writer commentary track is fine.

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “ hevk sci-fi adventure” for more adventures across time and space, “ hevk alien” for more extraterrestrials, often none too friendly, or “ hevk 90s” for more from the decade when practical effects and production design reached their absolute peak.
