alexander-621-466608 STARGATE is the freaking greatest TV-series i've seen my whole life.It all started when a friend of mine forced me to watch two episodes with him. It was actually interesting :)Within the following 3 months I had bought and seen all of stargate up to date. 10 seasons of Stargate SG-1 containing 214 episodes, 5 seasons of Stargate Atlantis containing 100 episodes, ½ season of Stargate Universe containing so far 10 episodesBesides that i've seen the two stargate movies: Stargate: Continuum and Stargate: The Ark of TruthWell, my point is that this is a freaking awesome TV-series. Worth watching! Maybe you shoudn't do it like me(watching 16 seasons and 2 movies within 3 months), but at least watch it:) Its so damn worth it.

pvedder I'm seasoned Stargate fan and looked forward to this title being released. In fact one could say it was once my favorite series. Lo and behold I picked up the DVD a few days ago and set aside my night to watch it. The film starts with promise then descends into a banality that is awesome to behold. The first battle between the remains of SG1 and the Ori troops found me cringing with concern in the corner of my couch as perhaps one of the most poorly matched orchestrations ever showed itself. The triviality of the scene was breathtaking. The Ori, a force to be feared are reduced to squabbling school kids. Later the new IOC new recruit is paraded to us and conducts a meaningless interview. Shortly after this the one genuine moment in the film arrives - Tealc gets to show his empathetic side. What follows is a cluster that digs itself deeper and deeper as it goes, culminating in replicator man, a ridiculous and done to death idea, not even worthy of a B grade horror movie. Some where along the away Tealc cops a staff blast then walks a journey over some mountains that would have made Edmund Hillary tired before being healed by an ascended Ancient (what the????). Vala swans around in the Ori home base whilst her brain dead ascended daughter dares her to open the ark and goes on walk about (maybe baking some cookies for afterward). Vala then releases Daniel etc without resistance (where are the priors - at morning tea?). After the Oddesey get multiple Ori ship blasts (which it couldn't survive in either of the previous series) the 20 cent ending is with us. I never thought I would write comments such as this about the Stargate series, but here I am, bewildered and disenchanted at the PC. This movies rates with Dracula 3000 which also has a one star rating. Stargate should have finished at end of Series 7, but some how was allowed to linger and now we have this cash cow. If you must watch this item, I implore you to at least wait until 2 dollar Tuesday - failing that you can probably have mine for the same price.

Allison Laetryn This movie felt like a pay off, a cheap, horrific way to end Stargate. Adria's character was obviously torn to shreds for one- from the calm, mature if not evil/brainwashed Orici, into an egomaniac whose relation ship with Vala gets a handful of lines- no stuff with Daniel... not a thing and we just jump into the vision thing with Morgan.They could have fixed this easy- take out the part with the replicators, Sam was, with all the happy character stuff that they started in season ten, well one step forward twelve million back.Mitchell, never been a fan, but he got kicked around for nothing but ouch poor abused character, and don't get me started on the whole I.O.A storyline.... which should never have left Earth.Teal'c was the only character that showed any good stuff this time round, his empathy with Tomin genuinely wrenching. Unlike the scene with Morgan Le Fay vs Adria. Rip off season eight's Anubis vs Oma Desala.This was a scrap they gave us for canceling Stargate SG1, they owed us a season to conclude... even Farscape got the PeaceKeeper wars a over three hour long conclusion.I refuse to watch Stargate Atlantis, buy its DVDs because Sci Fi made a huge mistake and while SG1 shouldn't be penalized, Sci Fi shouldn't just get to continue like nothing happened.Advice- rent, don't buy it... and stop watching new science fiction type shows, it only hurts more when they cancel it.

pelguy Ark of Truth was a decent conclusion to season 10, but it was quite scatter-shot in the writing. I am a long time fan of SG1, but i felt cheated by this "movie".Why oh why bring back the relicaaatoooorsss, as Thor would say. When that scene played out when they were reveled, I sad to myself, OH NO...Please no more.The epic battle of Ancient/Ori just another light show like the " death of Anubus" Cookies and a kiss???? really??? Thought Carter and ONeall had hooked up by now. Jack should kick Cam's butt for that, but he was smart enough to stay away from this "mission"All in all, I really wish I had just rented this extended episode. I complain about movie ticket prices, yet i paid twice that amount for a DVD I will probably never watch again.
