In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.
This week we discover Roland Emmerich's science fiction movie Stargate from 1994, about an expedition to another planet using an ancient alien artifact found in an archaeological dig in Egypt.
We discuss what makes this movie such a classic for us, how movies can sell an audience on an out there premise if the characters are compelling enough, how this movie spawned the largest science fiction franchise you've probably never heard of, and much more.
