Colonel Cameron Mitchell Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter Dr. Daniel Jackson Vala Mal Doran and the alien Tealc all members of the elite Stargate SG-1 team travel to the ruins of Dakara in hopes of finding the fabled Ark of Truth. Built by the Alterans (builders of the stargates) millions of years before this ancient artifact may be the sole means remaining to defeat the Ori armies who have thus far proven unstoppable in their quest to conquer the universe in the name of their religion Origin.System Requirements:Running Time: 102 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY/FANTASY Rating: NR UPC: 883904102908 Manufacturer No: M110290 Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good SagaI was very pleased with how the Ori saga ended, it was as great as the show, and even more so as a movie, everything I expected and more, and I can't wait for the next movie. I'm a big Stargate fan, have been for years, and this movie just proves how great of a show it was. Rating:  - Spoiler: Nothing Original Here...sigh.I'm a great SG-1 fan and have everything from the Role-playing game to all ten seasons. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in the Ark of Truth. There was nothing new. Nothing even creative. The worst part for me was bringing back the Replicators. These creatures were already beat to death and here they served only as a means to give SG-1 something to blow up. The main characters had virtually nothing to do in the movie. Sam spent her time blowing stuff up. Tilk, nothing but ...

This movie shows how much mileage there is left in the Stargate story - and, I am afraid to say, the lack of vision that lead to the series being dropped. Rating: - STARGATEAwesome movie! If you've never watched Stargate though, don't start with this. Go back and watch the SG-1 seasons first. Rating: - stargate the ark of truththis was like watching the series. it get better everytime i see stargate. i am so glad that they have movies to get my fix of stargate. i was sad when they ended the series but the movies just pick up where the series left off. lots of action and everything. great job stargate |
