Notable Science Fiction Gaffes, Part 3

Stargate

The Hype: With the gratuitous use of then-new and exciting CG effects, an interesting mix of aliens and ancient Egypt, and Kurt "Badass" Russell, it certainly looked cool...

What Went Wrong? ...except it really wasn't. I remember walking out of the theater very disappointed, and I haven't looked back since. It was just kind of lame, and somehow it spawned 2 television series that evidently refuse to die. Obviously somebody liked it, but I can't imagine who. Probably the same people who kept that stupid show Sliders on the air for as long as it was.
