 History Repeats Itself... In a Great Way August 8, 2008
While performing an Extraction Ceremony on what SG-1 hopes is Baal's last clone, something goes terribly wrong. And people start disappearing. When Baal travels back to Earth's past, he ensures that the Stargate program doesn't happen. Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson, and Cameron Mitchell arrive back on Earth in a different reality and must figure out how to correct the timeline before the Goa'uld invade Earth and destroy all hope.
Fans of the record-breaking Stargate SG-1 series are in for a treat. Many characters from the show's past make brief appearances, as well as the late (and sorely missed) Don Davis. But the highlight for me was the featuring of my favorite Stargate bad guy: Baal, played by Cliff Simon. Baal's character has a wonderful blend of sarcasm and condescension, which has led to some wonderful scenes with the SG-1 team. And of course, all of SG-1 is back, including Richard Dean Anderson as Jack O'Neill.
Unlike the previous movie, The Ark of Truth, this movie is a stand-alone. And with the incredible special effects, this would have been great to watch on the big screen. From filming in the below-freezing temperatures of the Arctic to back in Vancouver, the scenery and backdrops are exceptional. I also had high expectations regarding the storyline, since it included time travel, one of my favorite subgenres of science fiction. I wasn't disappointed. Though there were some convenient loopholes, the plot was fun and exciting.
Loads of humor, adventure, flashy future technology, and wonderful characters make this direct-to-dvd movie a must-see.
Just Good Ol' SG-1 Fun August 8, 2008
For those looking for a movie theater blockbuster, summertime hit...scroll on by. For those looking for a great SG-1 two-part episode that captures the essence of the series...buy it now!
From the start of the movie, it has the feel of the series and the mood of it as well. RDA is still great as Jack (my family really missed him in the last seasons of the series). All the regulars are back and we couldn't have been happier. It was a lot of fun (something you don't see too much of on TV anymore).
I won't give any spoilers (where would the fun in that be???), but we do get to see some old bad guys and even Vala as K'tesh(!). This is a movie for fans of the series.
My family and I really enjoyed it and hope that many more will too. As mentioned in a different review, this was Don S. Davis' last appearance as Hammond as Mr. Davis died of a heart attack in June. Condolences to his family aside, this is a blow to the SG-1 family as well. He was there in the beginning and lent a touch of realism to the series and the movie. He will truly be missed. I hope in the next movie, he will be honored in some way by the cast and writers. He will truly be missed by all of the fans...Good luck and God speed, General Hammond.
 Tired and Reheated, you can say that again August 8, 2008
I just watched the DVD at home on a widescreen honking TV. I suppose that if I had been "lucky enough" to have been at the rare viewing(s) in the theater, I would have had a better experience. I found the movie to be tired, predictable and the outcome a tad too convenient. I would have liked to have seen the asgard in this one; I won't say more lest I spoil it. The actors did a good job, but the writing was a bit blah.
SEMI SPOILER ***** Having seen the short premier interviews of the actors, I would have to agree that it would be nice for SG1 to visit some more exotic or at least different looking planets. We've been seeing a lot of the same old things. I also don't buy Teal'c's simple decision making. In the early days, we know how long and how much it took to turn his head, so to speak in Children of the Gods. And yes, there wasn't much time, but then if I were in his shoes I would have don't what he did if I were in character.
I would give this 2.5 stars if I could, but I feel a bit cheated after having to wait for one of the only two copies to be returned to the video store. You'd think that some day the fact that the gap is closing between the big screen and home release would make it to the people who decide how many DVDs end up on the store shelves. Bad move Hollywood Video and Family Video! On the other hand, I'm still glad I saw it on DVD rental for $3.00 instead of buying it.
Like A Long Episode Of Stargate SG-1 August 6, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This movie, "Stargate - Continuum", felt like an extended episode of "Stargate SG-1". There really was not much of a movie feel to it at all and there seemed to be a lot of filler footage, which is OK by me anyway since I am a huge Stargate fan. This was a pleasant "extra" after finishing up watching Stargate SG-1 - The Complete Series Collection and Stargate - The Ark of Truth . Others have given details of the plot so I'm not going to do that in this review.
It was a real treat seeing many of the characters from the regular series and brought a nice sense of closure to an excellent, long running series.
Highly recommended for Stargate SG-1 fans!
Awesome for SG-1 Fans and Newcomers Alike August 6, 2008

Received the DVD yesterday and watched it last night, was so pleased with it, liked it even more than the Ark of Truth. This story brings back the Goa'uld in a big way, right when you think they're going to be forever eliminated as a threat to Earth. Tons and tons of actors from SG-1's 10 seasons are enlisted, and the storyline is awesome. Too many times, TV shows that make a movie spend too much time giving the production a "movie" feel. Continuum feels like a lost episode of SG-1 - time travel conundrums, what-ifs, and plenty of action kept me on my toes from start to finish.
Another plus, my girlfriend, who has only ever seen the original movie (Stargate) and Ark of Truth, really truly enjoyed Continuum and wants to watch the series. I've owned every season set, then eventually sold them, so it sounds like I need to get the complete 10 season series!
