Looking back at this "Stargate", we first need to mention that this is Roland Emmerich's work. For this big sci-fi masterpiece who later made "Independence Day", "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012" Coffee, through this film should be able to see its consistent style-pay attention to special effects, good at creating spectacle scenes. Although this has also led to "Stargate" being criticized by most film critics as having a bad story and overly showy skills, it is undeniable that entertainment elements are always one of the selling points that attract audiences. At least 196 million yuan at the box office is Really.
To say that "the story is bad" is indeed not wronged, except that the concept of "wormhole" (which seems to be the first film involving "wormhole") has a little bit of color, and there is really nothing to tell. Emmerich’s original idea was not bad: the sun god of ancient Egypt was actually an alien. He was rebelled for enslaving the ancient Egyptian people, and had to abduct some of his slaves and continue to force them to mine for him on another planet. In the setting of aliens, Emmerich used a mix and match style similar to primitive tribes and modern technology, and the technology they used was more like supernatural power, and their acting style was also full of mysterious religious meaning. "StarCraft" can use the "Protoss" for brain supplement.
However, it is a pity that under such a big framework, the director lacks a thorough and rigorous explanation of the details, and coupled with the flat characters, it is difficult for people to have a complete and convincing feeling for the whole story. Especially when faced with the US military squad passing through the portal, the aliens seem to be incapable of coping. Such anxious IQ is obviously not commensurate with the powerful technology that can create a "wormhole." Rather than calling it a sci-fi movie, it is rather an absurd and bizarre bedtime story. As a result, the second half of the film was reduced to a ridiculous war to emancipate slaves, and aliens were hampered everywhere, and even slaves rose up. It's a sigh that aliens are in vain as "gods". When a few rule the majority, there is neither a targeted "carrot and stick" policy nor an understanding of the importance of cultural rule. They are not as good as the rulers of the early Qing government. Come smart.
For such a work, I am afraid that only Millie Avital, who plays the patriarch's daughter, can be impressive. The Middle East is indeed rich in beautiful women. Millie from Israel is fresh and refined, and has a charming exotic style. In fact, perhaps not as famous as Gal Gadot, who is now in full swing, but Millie Avital is definitely the Israeli actress with the highest achievement in film and television and on stage. "Stargate" is her debut in Hollywood. Although it is only a supporting role, it is dazzling enough.
