It reminds me heavily of The Mummy (1999), which even shares one actor at the very least, but many of the aesthetics and events are very similar too. It also heavily reminds me of Serious Sam: The First Encounter (2001), both have a desert, teleportation, aliens, Egypt culture and Kurt Russell's character looks quite similar to how Sam Stone looked in the first game and of course he's like an action hero in this film which adds more to the similarities. Of course, Stargate came first before them both, so I wonder if this was the inspiration for them.
Anyway, Stargate is a family-friendly blockbuster, the language isn't much profane, doesn't feature any nudity or sex and the violence is the bare minimum, mostly bloodless though there is one moment when it goes in comparison to everything else in the film a bit extreme which may bother some parents/kids. But I still think that this film is suitable for most kids.
Stargate starts with a well-done mystery which kept me engaged for the first quarter of the film as it then gets solved. The characters are very awesome, I liked the film's political messages as well as the other themes it provides. It is a very heartwarming and cute film, with most stuff being quite simple, but there is some more advanced, more serious stuff going on here too which is a very welcome addition.
What sucks though is the villain, he is so pathetic and awful. His whole personality is just being evil and nothing else, he looks like and talks like a spoiled brat and his powers are pathetic, he often needs to rely on his minions anyway... It may be the biggest loser of a villain I have ever seen.
Anyway, Stargate is a film which I miss nowadays, it is full of heart and soul, unlike modern blockbusters. Dune (2021) was also set in a desert yet was as empty as they come.
