So, you detected a plot.

I got the impression that they just made it up as they went along.

And decided that "stargating" was a little boring to go with popcorn, so brought in the guns and laser beams to liven up the action.

No understanding of the symbology of Ra etc. at all.

I'm no movie fan, but I felt embarrassment for James Spader and Kurt Russell, who ordinarily seem fairly based (but maybe they've done other shockers).

The lynch pin here is Thoth. Have you seen him?
