BRILLIANT DIRECTOR’S CUT OF ‘STARGATE’ 5⭐️!
Other reviews maybe more technical & nit-picking, but for me the huge enjoyment is of having one of my favourite films here in the director's cut. The overwhelming success of this film against the critical panning on its release, is due to the fact it is pure escapism and has a huge band of dedicated followers & of course the successful tv spin-offs. The added scenes make more sense, but were edited for time, as is explained by the director & writer in the commentary, which is in the 'set up' section of the included extras. However, for me, it's the music that makes it so enjoyable. David Arnold's major breakthrough into film composing is a remarkable achievement. Arnold had almost nothing on his cv, but to compose a film score of this magnitude and actually make the music belong to the film, in the same way that John Williams' music for'Jaws' does, is the aforementioned achievement. The sinister opening bars of the title credits leading into the main theme followed by choral chanting as the details of a mask of RA is revealed, build to a crescendo of operatic proportions. In Giza where the STARGATE is discovered, choral singing of extraordinary beauty is heard & adds to the drama of the scene immensely.I recently purchased STARGATE: The Deluxe Edition (CD), which has the complete score & is the perfect companion to this excellent DVD, which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.I have re-visited this review 6/01/17 and haves added further comments. I personally would welcome a commission for Mr Arnold to compose an opera worthy of Covent Garden, E.N.O. at the Coliseum or to throw the 'cat among the pigeons', an operatic orgasm to shake them all up at Glyndebourne! We wait......Only the 76 year old Giorgio Moroder is on a par with Arnold regards composing and producing. Moroder has found a new young 'clubbing' audience....but I doubt wether we'll see David Arnold behind the record decks in an Ibiza nightclub!!I've said it before and I'll say it again, of there hadn't been STARGATE, there would be no INDEPENDENCE DAY!!I saw David Arnold at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall with the 70 piece Manchester Camerata conducted by Nicholas Dodd. The 'STARGATE SUITE' closed the 1st half, and left me in tears......You must have this DVD if you love STARGATE.....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
