A great idea is wasted in an overblown and underwritten sci-fi full of stereotypes and bog-standard plot devices. Even the brief and infrequent action sequences fail to ignite any excitement at all. Without Richard Dean Anderson's post modern wisecracking the whole idea just seems self important and dull.

After "Dr. Jackson" figures out the hieroglyphs, the "StarGate" is activated and a probe is sent through. The on-board tracking system tracks the probe traveling to a distant side of …
