Stargate productions center on the premise of a "Stargate", a ring-shaped alien device that enables personal teletransportation to complementary devices located cosmic distances away.[3] Most Stargate episodes are set in the present day.[4] The United States civilian government holds the Stargate's existence a secret, so story lines present no contradiction between the episode's events and reality.[5] In the story, many Earth mythologies are in fact based upon events involving aliens who visited or controlled Earth civilizations in the distant past.[6] Although initially the only hostile alien race depicted, the Goa'uld (as they become known in SG-1) become foremost among a series of Earth foes in subsequent franchise incarnations. Posing as gods, the Goa'uld enslaved the inhabitants of ancient Egypt, creating its culture and religion,[7] using Stargates to move laborers from Earth to other habitable planets. The aliens were forced to flee Earth following a successful rebellion by the humans, and the Stargate was buried and forgotten until its rediscovery in Giza, 1928.[8] A typical depiction of a Stargate. ...

The production budget of the film was estimated as $55,000,000. The film achieved gross worldwide ticket sales of $196,600,000, with opening weekend sales of $16,600,000.[12] Critical reaction to the film was varied. Some critics were unimpressed with the action-driven plot[13] that was carried along by special-effects, and a somewhat slow beginning or poor ending.[14] Other critics were impressed with the film's deviation from the clichés of science fiction and unique and clever background plot.[15] Emmerich and Devlin were sued for plagiarizing the idea and the case was settled privately.[16] The film won the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film and the BMI Film Music Award for David Arnold's musical score among others.[17] Special effects (abbreviated SPFX or SFX) are used in the film, television, and entertainment industry to create effects that cannot be achieved by normal means, such as depicting travel to other star systems. ...

On the August 21, 2006, the Sci Fi Channel announced that it would not be renewing Stargate SG-1 for an eleventh season after a series of poor performances in the Nielsen Ratings.[22] Many fans were enraged at the news, even creating reactionary websites to exhibit their commitment to the series.[23] Spokespersons for the production have said all options for the continuation of SG-1 are being considered, including complete digital broadcasting.[24] Executive producer Robert C. Cooper told the fansite GateWorld exclusively that he was working to continue SG-1.[25] Currently, no network or company has ordered new episodes of SG-1, so the show is on hold until a new buyer can be found. However, SciFi has attempted to block other networks from taking up the show, citing its original exclusive contract with MGM.[26] In response to Sci-Fi's announcement to cancel Stargate, a community site (see external links) has been set up in an effort to convince Sci-Fi to renew the show. Despite such efforts, MGM has decided not to pursue an eleventh season and instead began focusing its efforts on new SG-1 DVD movie productions.

Stargate Atlantis -
Stargate Atlantis began as a spin-off television series from Stargate SG-1 that was originally intended to succeed it following a second feature film. The second movie was planned for after the sixth season and, when SG-1 was renewed for another year, for after the seventh season. When SG-1 was renewed again for an eighth season, the intended film became the episode "Lost City", a two-part season finale, and the setting of Stargate Atlantis was moved to the Pegasus galaxy. [28] This allowed the two shows to exist side-by-side within the same fictional universe, and later on the two shows even began to be interconnected, almost to the point that audiences were expected to watch both. The show is developed by most of the same people as SG-1, and is produced in the same studios.

A series of books written by Bill McCay were published from 1996 to 1999 that were unofficial sequels to the film. These were produced by consulting the original notes made by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, in an attempt to envision where the film "would have gone". Neither party has commented on whether McCay's interpretation was correct. Despite the fact that he attempted to remain close to the original vision, the subsequent television series Stargate SG-1 (which began under an entirely independent development) developed the story along different lines, making no attempt to reconcile the plot lines of the books. This marked the first major branching of the franchise. 1996 (MCMXCVI) was a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year for the Eradication of Poverty. ...
