First, I do have to feel sorry for the people who considered Stargate "typical" or "old fashioned". Makes me wonder what kinds of lives they lead.
Stargate didn't have a major book to emulate, it is pure imagination...and some darned good imagination at that. Emerich and crew created not only a new world for us, they created a whole new Universe that spawned one of the most successful series ever...it does not get much better than that my friends...
The story itself is straight forward scifi, with little bits of background stories woven in to keep the flavor interesting...a few might call it fairly slow moving, and frankly it is, but I think they had to do that to tell the whole story...I liked it just the way it was produced, and became an avid fan of the series that followed...
Yup, it is a classic movie, by anyone's standards...
