Stargate Movie Opening Theme

[BobaFettRules321]

8 people are Roger Ebert

[lastxp]

Its Mario Kassar people so you know its going to be good.

[AliceInWonderland85]

One of the best movie openings, the music just gives you instant chills. :)

[MeyKhanLi]

Gosh...

GOOOOOSH! I feel about to cry now... This is one of the BEST MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN...

Thank You so much...

[Lucious25]

Honestly, one of the best movie themes ever composed in any era. Seriously underrated!

[admarvelwarlock]

Call me crazy if you want but I've always imagined this as how a HAWKMAN MOVIE INTRO should be like ! LOL !

[XeonGame15]

that is pictur of Ra themes ;D

[Kaza0kun]

Wow....I was listening to Raiders of the lost ark the raiders march....and I thought I recognized the theme.

Was it Williams who did the music to Stargate also?

[isamec]

@Kaza0kun No, this was David Arnold. But Williams wrote the theme for "The Patriot" by Emmerich.

[isamec]

I had the opinion that Emmerich/Devlin/Arnold would be the next Spielberg/Kennedy/Williams trio, but they've separated while working on 'THE MARK' which was never accomplished. What a shame that they dont make movies together any more...

[fdfederation]

Hey, that looks like Akhenaten!

[Hanfboy300200100]

Hey, how do you know Akhenaten looks like??

[dinosaur888888]

anyone know where the sheet music for this is ?

[nathglenn]

Does anyone know, or know where I can find, the lyrics from 1:38? They're Egyptian, yes?

[s7saleens]

i was9 yearsold when the movie cameout

[Frontenyon]

as much as i like the series and i do, in particular what Richard Dean Anderson brought to the role; in all honesty none of the TV series beat the movie. This movie is the Ben Hur of Sci-Fi, one of the greatest Science Fiction films ever made.

Give my regards to King Tut!

[IratusBug]

that was uncalled for.

[smo699]

the series destroyed the realism behind the original movie and exploited it in a star trek kind of way.. a shame..

[Ryagful]

no it didn't

[EliteRanger]

The movie was certainly good, but the unrelated TV show sucks big time.

[momocisum]

Suck big time? The show was in air 10 seasons! Don't fuck me with that shit please... The movie was good... The series are the same... Only with other actors... They deserve respect for all the well done work...

[apraxeco1]

I have the original!!!

[elkillerno]

How can i download it ?

[knoxvilleguy2]

The movie was basically " Star Wars meets 'Spartacus ', meets 'Lawrence of Arabia' " meets ID4. but it was a great basic adventure & spawned a good couple of TV series & direct to DVD movies.

[atlantean84]

legendary ....zzzZZZzzz... makes me proud that this world has made such a movie and series!

[Strahd90]

fighissima

[shampusa]

komisch das ich roland und michael meine nachbarn sind und direkt über mir wohnen

unglaublich...

[DonMatikx]

beautiful song :>

[flabshiwabshi]

best movie ever i love stârgate it will for ever be my favourite movie and series

stargate for ever!!!!!!!!!! :)

[deprerach]

saund is so low

[SuperChalke]

Around 1:48 is where they used to start the intro for SG-1.

[jdmikeg4]

yeah this intro song is very much up there with star trek

[freddygotme]

The film's score was amazing!

[Xylemdrinker]

Probably my favorite opening theme to a movie.

[TacticaLGS]

Somebody back me up on this???

This song is almost exact to the Uncharted: Drake's Fortune theme song.. Am I right???????

[DuracellEnergizer]

This movie is my favourite/ It in not the BEST movie ever made, but still the one I'd call my favourite

I love the theme music in Stargate. Very good. Has an epic feel to it. I don't know why the soundtrack never even got an Academy Award NOMINATION. It's that good!

However, the theme music in SG-1 just plain sucks. The original music for that series is just weak, and the takes on the music from the original movie are flat bastardizations.

[Gorthaur42]

I'll contend that. I thought that Joel Goldsmith did an excellent job connecting the show to the movie without ripping off the entire score. Of course the show didn't have nearly the budget as the movie, so they couldn't afford a full orchestra, much the same problem that Star Trek: TNG had transferring Jerry Goldsmith's theme from the first movie.

[DuracellEnergizer]

I'll admit I never considered the size of the orchestra.

However, I found that the scores that Goldsmith wrote that DIDN'T incorporate many or any of David Arnold's themes were, while not perfect in the least, were preferable to the scores that are simply Goldsmith's takes on Arnold's themes. In fact, I find his work on Stargate Atlantis, which is 100% original music he created without any borrowing from the movie's themes, to be far superior to his work on SG-1.

[Gorthaur42]

I think you'll find that's true with any composer. Goldsmith is trying to match the mood of music he didn't write, and is trying to sound creative and original even while basing his scores on a theme that isn't his. This is very difficult, and drastically reduces the quality of the finished product. Taking this in mind, yes, the Atlantis music is superior and overall wonderful, but considering what he was forced to work with, SG-1 wasn't that bad either.

[RichardKleiner]

I personally thought the end credit theme from the show was better than the opening Arnold themes, and I haven't been able to find it!!!!!

[MagicLadyOfLabyrinth]

I agree with styXv3ngeance =)

[styXv3ngeance]

the theme song sounds way better in the movie :D

[rockstarboi209]

wats this song called??? am dying to know and cant find it know where please msg me!!!!!

[misthafalls]

Its the official intro of the stargate movie, so it doesnt have a specific name.

[colliric]

@misthafalls

except of cause "Stargate Theme"

[chevron360]

Its called Stargate Overture. I gots the CD

[radioblueheart]

Can you post it here for us to listen to?

[RevanorSzeged]

@rockstarboi209

Stargate Ouverture

[eldiablo828]

@rockstarboi209 it names stargate overture

[SpareXXXX]

@rockstarboi209

Dude, this song's name is Stargate Movie Opening Theme. Nothin' else. It doesn't have a concrete name. Or if it have, I've never heard/seen it then. If you wanna copy of this song, just download it by "youtube to mp3" program man.

[89DUD]

@rockstarboi209

Stargate Ouverture

[Fingulfin]

I love this song, problem is the version you uploaded is a bit quiet ;)

[misthafalls]

I know :), problem when i used DTS decoding :P

[mattskiba666]

the movie set the stage for the series, the movie AND the series rox, i love them both! no one else but Micheal shanks can pull off james spader's portrail of Daniel jackson

[misthafalls]

WOOT allready over 16000 people watched this, i thank u all :)

BTW comparing serie to movie is not fair. But if i have to say serie is better.

[Nixorbo]

Richard Dean Anderson > Kurt Russell any day of the week.

[kaneiak]

that's just ridiculous to say

[SmartOompaa]

I have to agree the show is way better, but the movie was good.

[fjosman]

Why bother comparing av movie with a TV-show? A movie will look better and have better effects, but a TV show will have the advantage of a long storyline. They are a part of too different worlds.

[Sandstorm14]

wtf, ur a fucking retard. the show is better than the movie. go get a life and get some taste.

[knightofavalon86]

Indeed. :)

[Fischlikowski]

The movie was one of the bests but the TVserie is shit . sorry for my SHIT english

[knightofavalon86]

Excuse Me? Why don't you get your head out of your butt and look around. Stargate SG-1 is by far the best science fiction show of all time. Easily better than the movie.

[tripledistilledvodka]

but the movie was the original so give it some credit lol... they just have better SFX and stuff... i think the original Daniel Jackson was much better

[knightofavalon86]

Really? Is it the actor? If not, why don't you like TV Daniel? I mean, James Spader is a great actor, but so is Michael Shanks.

[tripledistilledvodka]

yeah i know the acting is good, but im talkin bout i prefer james spader cos i thought he was so hot in a sweet way lol...thas the only reason i dnt reli watch the series much...i still love it tho

[knightofavalon86]

I see...

[tripledistilledvodka]

lol u dont sound convinced...

[knightofavalon86]

Your entitled to your opinion. I just feel sorry that you missed such a good show, that's all.

[tripledistilledvodka]

nah i do watch it...i love it...the whole idea of the show

[knightofavalon86]

Oops. Yeah, I love it too. :)

[tripledistilledvodka]

my DVD of the film came today, i still thought it was good lol... but one thing, i dont understand the end, they leave daniel on the planet cos hes married to the woman... now, i never saw the first series and im guessing this was explained then...cos there would have been no way for him to return as they were gonna dismantle the stargate... SO CONFUSED NOW lol

[cookiemaen]

it wasnt dismantled. it was just pulled over a great .... er titanium super sheet or something really powerfull. since they want no aliens come through to earth, its a migthy sheet you see in the first episode! :D super protection :S

[tripledistilledvodka]

so then why did daniel come back?? did something happen? cos he says something like "it was good knowing you" and then someone replies "are you gonna be ok?" and he says yea like they r leaving him...

[battousai1889]

when apophis came through the stargate from chulak (with teal'c) to abduct a host for the goa'uld that was apophis's wife, the sgc thought that he came from abydos (the planet daniel was on). It was believed that abydos was the only planet in the galaxy that had a stargate not including earth the sgc contacted daniel through the stargate to find out if the gate was opened on his side. they found out that apophis did not come from abydos, and with help of the abydos cartoushe, they found chulak.

[tripledistilledvodka]

thanks so much! ive always wondered lol

[battousai1889]

no prob

[roewedge]

they came back for daniel... daniel discovered a cartouche that had addresses for other stargates and thus the whole show really takes off.

[jajceboy]

Great movie, but it sounds a lot like the theme from "Troy", especialy the song "Rememmber".

Does anyone else agree

[wildcatbrian]

First thing it reminded me of. Both epic sounding music.

[o815johnlocke]

音小さい

[morrisono]

thnx for stargate opening theme :) i ll watch it again tonight :)

[iam114]

David Arnold did the movie theme while Joel Goldsmith does the TV show. While SG1's theme is a reworking of the movie's theme, Atlantis is entirely Goldsmith's original.

[dean4125]

I love the music. who does the music for the tv show and this opening.

[MosinM38]

I personally like the TV show. I am next in line at the library for the movie version.. But hey. I don't see the huge diff. Both still have the same premise. THis just covers one planet.

[Egle01]

I love this music. I have it in my computer and I never get tired of listening it.

[DuchessAliana]

Omg, Kurt Russell was in this???!!!

[trombonist15]

The opening theme is very powerful...

[wildcatbrian]

I liked the movie better than the series.

[falterichone]

he is right.

[HorusNikopol]

This theme music was *not* used in the series, only cut here and there. The SG-1 main theme does comprise some of the basic themes written by David Arnold, but were reassembled and conducted by Joel Goldsmith.

[WentworthEMiller]

Exactly! You are indeed correct.

[Tahirah1]

funny how the guy who played Ra was latino, But the mask had the face of a black guy...looks like akhenaten's busk.

[iamlost2]

The guy, Jaye Davidson, is NOT Latino. LOL. He's half African. In fact, his father is from Ghana, a sub-Saharan country. He's black. He does have a white English mother though. So, I guess biracial would be the proper term.

[tardiselliot]

i think this music should hav been used in the series some more! mainly the last bit! brilliant music! made Ra a lot more intimidating

[charlyyo21]

Gracias por subirlo que música!!!! y que película

Thank´s for post this video, thank´s from Argentina, bye good luck, very very nica movie!!!

[Owdene]

The whole soundtrack to this movie is awsome, this track is particularly badass from 01:38 onwards. Jaye Davidson rocks as Ra also! :P

[EliteRanger]

HELL YEAH!! F*ck the crappy in comparison TV show. The film and the show are independent from each other, story-wise, as the show has a totally different backstory than the movie. It's like comparing the original Transformers to the latest movie of the Transformers. Yeah, both have the same characters and general backround, but they're both totally different.

[misthafalls]

Well it takes far longer for the video te be made and especially now with my schoolexams, sorry you guys.

[Luff2Sing]

That is alright, but it would be really awesome if you got it up ^^ I love that movie

[misthafalls]

I was busy with it today, one serious problem :P. The subtitles for the some egyptians language did not work, this means start all over again :P

[PokemonChamp]

that would be awsome

[PokemonChamp]

ty you i was looking for this a long time

[misthafalls]

He, your welcome, maybe I will upload the movie :P.

But not sure :D
