Fans disappointed by the demise of the Stargate SG-1 television series after ten fruitful seasons will delight in The Ark of Truth, the first full-length movie to follow in the show's wake. In fact, some will be more than pleased--they'll be relieved. For not only does the 102-minute film offer an opportunity to enjoy the same likable characters, reliable effects work, superior writing, and other elements that made the series so appealing, but after season upon season in which viewers were left wondering how everything turned out, The Ark finally brings at least one cliffhanger to a conclusion: the storyline involving the villains known as the Ori, who dominated SG-1's final two years. Our heroes (including Ben Browder as fearless leader Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell, Amanda Tapping as the intrepid Lt. Col. Samantha Carter, Christopher Judge as the implacable alien Teal'c, Michael Shanks as the ever-resourceful Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Claudia Black as the irreverent Vala) have long known that the Ori are perhaps the most irresistible force they've ever encountered, in part because they are "ascended" beings who don't exist in recognizable physical form (their spaceships do, and they're huge). But now the team faces an even greater threat: the Ori have set their sights on good ol' Planet Earth. That's where the Ark comes in; if the good guys can just get their hands on it, they hope this ancient artifact will effectively put the big, bad Ori, their minions, and their entire religion (known as "Origin") out of business. Of course, it ain't easy. Both collectively and individually, the team will be severely tested, their task complicated not only by the Ori but by an arrogant, clueless government official whose meddling results in the return of the metallic, insect-like Replicators. There's little doubt about how it will all turn out--after all, there's at least one more movie already in the pipeline--but it's all about the ride, and despite a few flaws (as was sometimes the case with the series, the script leans a bit too hard on exposition and techno babble), this one is lots of fun. Bonus features include commentary by writer-director Robert Cooper and others, a lengthy "making of," and a helpful "prelude" to bring the uninitiated up to speed. --Sam Graham

 SG1 does it again!!!!!!!! August 7, 2008
SG1 Does it again!!!!!!! The writers of this DVD feature film of Stargate really give their fans a spectacular story from beginning to the very end. This is awesome and if you are a fan of Science Fiction (SCI-FI) this is a most definitely "MUST HAVE" to add to your collection of SCI-FI movies on DVD. Stargate SG1 The ARK OF TRUTH is once again in my opinion "AWESOME!!!!!!"
 very well done and enjoyable August 5, 2008
I was very happy with this movie. I think it was a perfect addition to the TV series. I was hoping that Continuum would be just as good but I was sadly dissappointed by it. I hope the burn that script and produce another movie with SG-1 and the wraith, that would be great!!!
 Basically a TV episode August 4, 2008
I did enjoy the DVD - but basically this would have been broadcast as a two part TV episode -maybe three parts if they could figure out how to divide it into three parts. The production values are simialr to the TV show. For the next DVD - Continuum I think I would rather rent the DVD.
a Must see for Stargate SG1 fans. August 2, 2008
Stargate - The Ark of Truth
I was annoyed that issues had been left hanging at the end of the 10th year. At last all we fans have some closure after the abrupt end of the 10 year Stargate SG1 series.I really enjoyed the movie and the EXTRA big effects.
Stargate - The Ark of Truth July 31, 2008
didn't do what it says on the tin. It was supposed to answer outstanding questions and add closure to the end of series 10 but does not deliver on its promises
