 Review of Stargate Continuum August 17, 2008
If this is the end of a super science fiction series, then the writers have done their very best. Bringing Richard Dean Anderson back was brilliant. His performance brought the well loved series to a powerful climax. Fantastic!!!!!!!
Classic Stargate SG-1 August 17, 2008
For fans of the first eight seasons of SG-1, this is a must-have. Not only is the filming far beyond what I'd expect to see on TV, the acting (especially by Amanda Tapping and Claudia Black) is outstanding. For those who like action, the CGI was good (though thankfully limited) and it's really hard to beat the big shots provided by the Arctic and all that military hardware! It was also very nice to see bit parts played by real armed forces personnel, just as in the past. Being a fan of time travel and alternate universe themes myself, the plot was well-done and was quite a bit different than what they've done in the past. The only complaint I might have would be that there was no forward movement in the development of the main characters, something to be expected in AT/AU stories.
However, I did come away with a much better appreciation for Cam Mitchell, which is a big deal for me. I also never cared for Vala up until now- but Vala/Qe'tesh was superb in this movie, thanks to Claudia Black. Though his part wasn't big, it was great seeing O'Neill again, especially Colonel O'Neill, and it looks like there's still something up with the General and Carter. In general, though, this is an action film and all of the character interactions are necessarily brief. Another ten minutes of run time could have given us that great team banter back again, and there were flashes of that, but they were limited by (I presume) aiming for a two-hour TV time slot.
All in all, I'd say the movie was technically very nice, exciting to watch, had a few nice character moments, and carries the story arcs developed in SG-1 very well. Since Ark of Truth and Continuum were great caps to two of the main story arcs, I'm looking forward to new adventures in future movies and maybe find out what the heck O'Neill has been up to the last few years, because certainly it seems that the SG-1 saga is far from over.
Fun movie August 17, 2008
Like another reviewer said, I needed a Stargate fix. Although Stargate:Continuum was another take on someone messing with the timeline,(see the Stargate episode 'Moebius') this movie is fun to watch. It was too short for my taste so I'm hoping there's another movie planned in the future. We learn some background history about the Stargate when Baal goes back in time to alter the timeline so he can defeat the other Goa'uld system lords and later conquer Earth. The movie does a nice job working in (although briefly) many of the characters from over the years. O'Neill makes a brief appearance (yay) and Mitchell gets to be a hero. There are some good extras on the disc as well such as the experience the filmmakers and actors had filming the movie in the Arctic.
SG1 does it again! August 15, 2008
Loved it. I've read a few reviews of this flick where a lot of nitpicking about time travel and so forth is going on. Hey peeps...it's "Science Fiction" NOT science fact. I read a quote long ago (can't remember where) that recommended this: "Suspend your disbelief and cherish the illusion". I hope they keep making SG1 movies forever (I love you RDA + BB). Nuff said...
 love stargate but needs magor sustainment August 15, 2008
I'v been a Fan since the Movie and been watching the series since the first episode. This Movie should have been a two part episode on TV thoughe instead of a "Movie" the acting espesially by Col Oniel was very "one line rehersal so to speak" it seemed cheap. I was looking soooo forward to this movie and was disapointed. I own the entire series as well as there Sister series "Atlantis" and this will be the first part of it that I just wont buy. But in all it's worth watching just rent it rather than buy it.
