Stargate ultimate edition

After this, a native that they were holding at gunpoint is released and Jackson comments "Sandstorm, that would have been a brilliant reason to shoot everyone". The scene when James Spader awakes in the sarcophagus after being killed is extended, showing him walking towards Ra's chamber, seeing a cat sitting on Ra's throne. When James Spader turns and shoots at Ra instead of his comrades so that they can flee, there are several extended cuts put in.

Originally they were just ushered away by the natives, in the special edition they ride away on one of the Mastadges. Kurt Russell and James Spader are then seen lost in a sandstorm and found by the boys, and taken to the caves which is in the theatrical edition ; an additional scene after this sees the boys feeding the Mastadges outside the caves.

Here we follow Daniel Jackson as he is thrust into another world after he is brought on board a secret military operation to decipher symbols on a mysterious object that allows travel from one planet to another. When we first meet Jackson he's an outsider on the fringes of academia.

His theories are debunked by every serious scientist and he's just about broke. He's approached by a mysterious group who want to employ his services as a translator of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

But what he unearths his far beyond his wildest theories. The DVD contains the original theatrical release of the movie 2 hr, 58 sec as well as the extended edition 2 hr, 9 min, 50 sec. In the end, Stargate is a fun Sci-Fi adventure that delivers some of the same fun and action that was found in another film set in a galaxy far, far away; only with an Egyption twist.

Artisan has finally got it right with this release. That previous non-anamorphic transfer was plagued with shimmering and some of the worst edge enhancement seen on a DVD.

It was dark, grainy, and muddy. Simply put, it was sickening. Here are some comparison shots between the SE transfer and this UE I don't own the flipper version so I can't have screens to show that transfer : The only thing preventing the transfer from perfection is that there is still some grain here and there in the picture as well as some bad black specs in the print. These specs were present in the previous transfers, and while they cleaned a lot of the damage up, there are one or two shots in the film where they pop up, such as this one: That shot of print damage is a fraction of a second in the transfer, and is the only scene in the movie that exhibits such a flaw.

It's a very minor complaint on an otherwise stunning anamorphic transfer. The film always had an aggressive sound mix, with the Special Edition DD 5. Bass is very strong, and David Arnold's score has never sounded better. If you want to show off your HT to the neighbors, the sequence where they go through the Stargate is a good one. It actually reminds me of something that THX would use to show off.

Highly recommended. Brought over from the Special Edition is the great and informative commentary track by Director Roland Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin.
