 - Outstanding movieThis movie has it all. Great twists and turns and even though I am not a hardcore Stargate fan, this movie really hit the spot. Rating: - Great Stargate ContinuationFirst of all, my advice would be to completely ignore the negative reviews. Continuum is a great addition to the Stargate story. The movie has a very good story line and plenty of action. It is not "dumbed down". By that, I mean it leaves some things up to your imagination and thought process. The flashbacks in time are kept to a minimum. The special effects are great without being outrageous as in some movies. The movie does have a bit more foul language than the rest of the Stargate episodes. Then again, it is kept to a minimum and used only in times of great distress. It is still suitable for children, though. I would like to have seen more of Apophis and the rest of the bad guys. An appearance by Bra'tac as an advisor to Teal'c would have been nice. At any rate, I think every person that is a true fan of Stargate will enjoy this movie. Rating:  - What Happened?First: I love the Stargate series and have the entire collection on DVD. Stargate is the best SiFi series ever created. Continuum was a needed fix for any SG1 junky. I hope that there are many more SG1 movies to come or better yet, bring the series back for a few seasons.... Second: What happened with Richard D. Anderson, Brigadier General, USAF? He was advertised to play a larger role in this movie not a small teaser appearance. It felt like he didn't want to be there. Many feel that his wise cracks and "poke fun at the man" attitude portrayed by his character made the show. I am not knocking Gen. Anderson; he is one of the best actors of the 20th / 21st century. But if he is going to play O'Neill please do it full force or don't tease the fans. Third: I thoroughly enjoyed the movie but the magic was subdued. This would have made a great TV Special Event to be released on DVD after it aired. Billing this as a "Major Motion Picture Event" is misleading. The "lost in time" and "alternate time line" has been done to death. With the entire universe just one Stargate step away why rehash an old story line. This was a missed opportunity to WOW the fans and pick up more followers. Fourth: I love the SG series. Seeing the entire SG1 cast together one last time was amazing. "Rest in peace Don S. Davis." Give us MORE, MORE, MORE! Rating: - Loved itAs a big fan of stargate and other SF I loved this DVD. Great story and effects. Still sad the show is gone :< Rating: - SG 1 Continuum Pretty GoodI truly miss Stargate and feel Stargage Atlantis just has a poor cast and does not hold my attention (could they stop using the whining scientist all the time- yuck). So it was with great eagerness I bought Continuum and saved the viewing until a friend came over for a visit who also loves Stargate too. We turned out the lights and watched it on my 55" flat screen like we were at the movies. It has all the big picture feel to it, so one wonders why it didn't go to theatres? The fan base is huge and I would have paid for it. Anyhow, it starts off well, moves into the plot line and just kind of loses its interest. we are supposed to believe that three SG 1 characters just give up and go along with the powers that be. totally unbelievable. then they need them and call them back...lame. Claudia Black had a good time (doesn't she always?). And they solve the problem of course, and end on a note of humor. It was good to see them all (dont expect to see a lot of Jack on this one)and its a high quality production but the story line could have been better and more in character.
