Blu-ray version is defective and LionsGate won't replace it
Search the Internet and you'll find out this Blu-ray version has at least two defects; missing Egyptian and alien subtitles, and right half of main menu doesn't work (you can still change audio and commentary other ways, but I can't get to the THX demo or setup.
Don't buy any Blu-ray titles produced by LionsGate. They're not honest businessmen.

Blu-ray - HD - Standard DVD
I bought HD as the in coming standard, it wasn't. Bought a Blu-ray player to keep up. I have a standard DVD copy of "Stargate", so I knew a Blu-ray copy would have something to equal.
Blu-ray quality is noticeably better, volume is some what lower (on my system) than the up-converted standard DVD. Now we need some high quality movies on blu-ray. (I don't care for old comic book hero movies, out grew them 40 years ago.) Special effect are great and ad a lot to a movie, but if all the movie has is special effect.... Well, I'll pass.
"Stargate" in Blu-ray is well worth the purchase.

Original story, still stands up today
I saw this film in theaters years ago, and just viewed it on BD. The story includes all of the elements that make an interesting sci-fi flick, and it includes a dash of romance. The storyline of the "passageway" between dimensions is not unique, but since the film was released several years ago, I would need to say that it still stands up today in terms of relevance.
It manages to be a sci-fi film, while still focusing on the core concept, which is not really laden with special effects, but rather pulls the watcher in with a mind bending concept. Though many scientific explanations of bending time and space are absent, the story still unfolds in an engaging manner. The film did seem a bit long and drawn out in parts, and in comparison with more recent sci-fi flicks, which seem to rely on non-stop action, as opposed to complex storylines, some may find this one a bit "drawn out". However, if you are more interested in an interesting film, this one may be for you.
PQ 3.5/5, sound 4/5. Lionsgate is not known for its transfers, but given the age of the film, detail, color and blacks were still rich. For the sake of providing detail, a 50" Panasonic Plasma and PS3 80 GB was used to view the film, at a 15 ft distance.

Universe of Pyramid Power
Chevron 7 locked. Come with me through the Stargate, anywhere, any era, any genre ! This movie was the beginning, a new concept and story, fun and hidden taunts at social mores, which eventually extended into TV as SG-1, & Atlantis. The Ultimate Version seemed to make a little more sense than the original flick, but then hindsight is always 20-20 ! Daniel Jackson is a different type of Nerd, but 'makes good' in this star-breaking introduction. Sci-Fi concepts are often novel and mostly plausible extensions of current scientific options or opinions, and for the touchy-feelies out there, just enough boy-girl frames to fill the gap !

Stargate (Extended Cut) [Blu-ray]
Oh Dear.
One of my favorite films and I was very disappointed. I wasn't too upset that there was no extras other than a commentry and previews of up coming Lionsgate Blu ray releases.
Picture quality was poor and grainy, although on close up's quite detailed. Sound wise very good presented in DTS HD and Dolby 5.1 EX.
If you like the film I would suggest you buy the region 1 Artisan ultimate edition which has remastered Theatrical and Directors cuts, as well as 2 featurettes and DTS 6.1 ES.
