Spader is Daniel Jackson an Egypt Logist on the outs with his intellectual colleagues because of his Wacky Theo lies. For example he believes that the culture of the pharaohs and its focus on the Sun god a was influenced by visitors from the stars. Out of the Blue he is approached by Catherine Langford Viveca Lindfors who offers him a Job translating ancient egyptian carvings. With nothing More lucrative on his horizon he accepts. He is whisked to a top secret air Force base in Colorado where he gets the Shock of his life when he is shown a huge circular ring made of an alien Metal first discovered by Langford a father near the great pyramids of Giza in 1928. A a t a the inscriptions on the Circle and a collection of Stone tablets found buried with it have stumped the military for two years. Daniel takes less than two weeks to figure out that the the inscriptions Are location coordinates and the Circle is a a a stargaze a a door to a world Halfway across the known universe. Russell is stuck with the unrelentingly grim role of col. Jack of Neil a Gruff officer trying to overcome the death of his Young son who accidentally shot himself with dads pistol. Of Neil is tapped to Lead a reconnaissance team through the stargaze with Daniel going along As an adviser. Up to that Point Spader a winsome Low key performance carries the film. He has built his career on oily Yuppie roles but Here he gives Daniel a dizzy sense of Charm combined with naive wonder at the adventure he a about to embark upon. On the other Side of the stargaze of Neil and his team discover a desert civilization with distinctly egyptian touches. Primitive slaves mine a precious Metal for a Jaye Davidson their supposed god who travels in a huge Pyramid shaped spaceship. While he really Isnit Given much to do Davidson the androgynous Star of the crying came pulls off the god Hood thing pretty Well. He a a Hoot when he gets angry a his eyes Shine like High beam headlights. The effects Are first rate but Emmerich and co writer Dean Devlin spend too much time in the latter stages of the Story on superfluous subplots. These include a mostly Chaste love affair Between Daniel and a native girl Mili Avital and a Battle Between of Neil and rats minions to prevent the god from sending a powerful bomb Back through the stargaze to destroy Earth. Emmerich also leaves big holes in the Story. For one thing the explanation of rats origin is extremely murky. In another scene a says he knew that someone would eventually traverse the stargaze to try to destroy him. So Why did no the just dismantle it on his end like Moses leading the israelite out of Egypt Daniel eventually fans the flames of rebellion in the hearts of the natives who rally behind one of their own Alexis Cruz to Rise up and smite their oppressive masters. Frankly Charlton Heston did it better. Yet despite its formulaic faults the imaginative sets and visual effects combined with Spader a engaging performance and the relatively healthy Pace of the action make this film an enjoyable treat. Sci i fans will love it. Page 12 sunday november 13,1994
