In spite of the promise showed by the exciting look of this film -- which appears to be Indiana Jones in space -- there's painfully little Stargate has to offer. It's dull. It's got plotholes you can drive proverbial trucks through, holes so gaping one quickly loses interest in seeing the story through because one realizes it'll go the way the scriptwriters want it to whether it's plausible or not. The characters are unengaging, created by nondescript performances. Who cares?
