I liked the extra feature about the onsite shoting in the artic. Seeing the entire cast back together felt right as did the level of the story for a semi-wrapup of the Bal story arc. Seeing on Blu-Ray was worth it. As others have indicated, this movie was enjoyable for true fans of the show.
I love the Stargate universe and miss SG1 weekly, I watched Stargate from the original Showtime series and even loved the original '94 Kurt Russell movie. Davis. I miss Stargate: SG1, so this was great. Loved seeing some of the originals in this movie, like Richard Dean Anderson and the late Don S.
But the idea I am to shut up and buy a DVD to find out the ending of a show takes you and me for utter imbeciles.In short: they can take the whole franchise, along with the con, and shove it up their "stargate hole".And a third series is in the making: "Stargate Universe" or something like that. Well, this is not masterpiece--though I wish it were lost.To think of all the time spent by so many viewers of the show, and then these schmucks do not end the series; they just want to force everyone to buy a DVD that ends the series; but wait, it doesn't end it so you have to buy "Continuum" to have an ending. Oh no: straight to DVD, and we may never see Atlantis movies on Scifi again. Greed entered the picture; and now it's like waiting on some lost Orson Welles masterpiece to finally be aired on telelvision.
How many endings to we have to have. Sort of like roasted Prior, without the parsely. Stick a fork in "it", and this franchise. It is done. And a slap in the face to the fans of this lame show.I have watched every episode of this series at least once; some twice or even three times, if they are exceptional.But what I cannot stand is being taken for a chump.I am not going to go into a detailed review of these two "Straight to DVD movies". There are more than enough posts to cover the bogus, rehashed plot elements.I am briefly going to cover one important fact. As many as shall make them so comfortable they can buy their own Stargate. I bet no more Scifi first airings.
What about after. It shall air on Scifi. Braithwaite It's end without ending; and shall go to "DVD movie of the week status." Just like these.Idiotic.We should all "dial-out"; and leave Stargate as a very bad memory. :(And if you doubt my assessment, then you need only know that Stargate Atlantis is ending after only five seasons. If it's successful, welcome to Ori-hell.
The Stargate & Company franchise's attitude to their viewers: "To hades with you, give us your money chimp."This is the formula that is truly in place for the continuation of Stargate & Company.They were supposed to release these movies on DVD and then air them on SciFi. Not that that wouldn't be a tragedy. And if this promise is kept. But they are already trying to assemble the original cast for a third ending. They are going to film a movie continuing their battle with the Wraith (the Goua'uld with bad, blue skin problems); this we are told shall air on Scifi, then go to DVD.
There were many beautifully written scenes throughout, Landry's speech, Daniels attempting to contact himself, the President, the full lineup of the classic Goulds of the past, including Apophus and Ra (from the Stargate movie). I am very glad I did. What a treat. Having been a huge fan of Stargate when Richard Dean Anderson was still involved, I loved the return to classic Stargate battle to save Earth from the Goulds. I wasn't a fan of the Ark of Truth--and was hesitant to watch Continuum.
There must be something wrong with the formatting oe something, but we can watch them on the computer which is ok but disappointing. The quality is good but we live in Australia and our problem is that we can only watch the DVD's on our computer as they won't play on our DVD and TV.
