As a long-time fan of Stargate-and excited about the recent announcement that the series is being revived-I was happy to revisit this entry in the franchise. Put simply, it's an enjoyable addition, but it's nowhere near the level of the original film that started it all.
This time, the Nazis have solved the mystery of the Stargate and use it in an effort to obtain alien technologies and weapons to sustain the Third Reich forever. They take Katherine's father with them, since he understands ancient Egyptian. Katherine and her friends follow in order to rescue him; however, once they step through the gate, things quickly become complicated.
In many ways, the film echoes the original Stargate, and because the events here occur before the first installment, the writers clearly had to figure out how to end this story in a way that still allows the original movie to unfold naturally. I think the ending was fine-there's probably no other way they could make it look like this chapter never happened.
