Science fiction and fantasy fans fell in love with the Stargate universe as soon as they saw James Spader defeat Ra in “Stargate”, the original movie. When the concept was moved to cable for the Stargate SG-1 show film-makers Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich did not make the transition. Despite their dislike of the show’s re-engineering of the Stargate universe, millions of fans around the world have followed the adventures of Dr. Daniel Jackson, Colonel (later General) Jack O’Neill, and their companions through many worlds and galaxies. The Stargate franchise now includes three television shows, one theatrical movie, and two direct-to-DvD movies. Xenite.Org’s Stargate Store offers all the available Stargate merchandise from Amazon.
The “Stargate” movie is still popular with DvD and Blu-Ray enthusiasts. “Stargate” remains one of the best movies made in the 1990s and it defines the classic Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich story. Subsequent Devlin/Emmerich projects failed to inspire similar franchises. “Stargate” is a classic film to look for in the Xenite.Org Stargate Store.
Stargate SG-1 ran for ten seasons, first on the Showtime cable network and then on the SciFi Channel. MGM launched the Stargate franchise after seeing how immensely popular the “Stargate” theatrical movie was. Starring Richard Dean Anderson as Colonel Jack O’Neill, the storyline shifted from following Daniel Jackson to following Colonel O’Neill’s team through the Stargate. Stargate SG-1 has now spun off two sequels and two direct-to-DvD movies. Find them all in the Xenite.Org Stargate Store.
Stargate: Atlantis ran for five seasons on the SciFi Network. Extending the popular Stargate franchise into another galaxy, Stargate: Atlantis explored the origins of the Ancients and helped elucidate on the ultimate fate of species such as the Asgard and the Wraith.
