 Filmtracks: Stargate SG-1 (Joel Goldsmith/Arnold/Kiner)
Stargate SG-1: (Joel Goldsmith, David Arnold, Kevin Kiner, Richard Band, and Dennis McCarthy) It's easy to be skeptical whenever a television series follows a popular film, and especially a film that has a score that has risen to the status of "cult classic" in the years since its composer has become famous.
When the first Stargate SG-1 album came out, it was a surprise to many people who had enjoyed the film score, but were not familiar with the television show.
But fans of the original film, or collectors of film music, noticed the heavy edits immediately, and reacted with both disgust and ambivalence to that album.

As James Spader is fascinated by the parallels to Egyptian culture back on Earth, the recon team suddenly finds themselves locked in a battle against the alien, Ra, in a struggle to stay alive, free the workers from enslavement, and find their way back home.
The idea of the stargate itself was a great concept and Ra's guards looked menacing with their now-you-see-them-now-you-don't head gear.
Out of all of the memorable moments in "Stargate", the most clever and well-executed one was the switcharoo near the end when the transporter/elevator takes James Spader and his wife away from Ra and simultaneously decapitates Ra's guard and delivers the head to him/her back on the pyramid ship.

Emmerich's film, Necropol: City of the Dead, was about a space ship being buried under the Great Pyramid of Egypt and Devlin's unnamed film was to be, in his words, "Lawrence of Arabia on another planet." The two films were combined to became Stargate.
Though it is heavily implied, the film, contrary to popular belief, never actually states that Ra was the last of his race or that he built the Stargates.

Apparently, many members of their "Stargate Con" seem to be putting together a millennial extravaganza (called Project Equinox 2000) in which it looks like they're poised to make a whole series of "revelations."

The special effects are good if not innovative; the idea of the device and the method of transport is an effective use of special effects technology at hand, and much is carried on the story and the idea of the device rather than the actual computer or miniature effects.
