Editorial Review: Description: Blasting off where the Sci-Fi Channelâ??s longest running show, Stargate SG-1, left off, this thrilling feature thrusts the Stargate team â?" Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), Vala (Claudia Black), Tealâ??c (Christopher Judge), Sam (Amanda Tapping) and Cam (Ben Browder) â?" into their biggest challenge yet. In search of an Ancient artifact they hope can defeat the oppressive Ori, the team not only learns that the Ori are set to launch a final assault on Earth, but a double-crossing I.O. operative is aboard the Odyssey! Also starring Beau Bridges, this pulse-pounder is loaded with enough suspense, humor and action to fill a galaxy! 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 Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Why end the series?This was a nice enough continuation of the series but seems to lack some of the polish one would equate with a film. Granted there is more time designated for plot evolution and a bigger budget for effects but it lacked the 'wow' factor. That said, I enjoyed the plot, the effects, the fact there weren't commercials and that Jack O'Neill was back with the group (you can't ever have enough pithy humor or cake!). It was well worth the cost of admission for a dedicated SG1 fan. Rating:  - Like A Good Extended Episode of SG1- Recommended!"Stargate - Ark of Truth" feels like an extended episode of Stargate SG1, wrapping up the plot line of what some folks have called "The Ori Quagmire". No spoilers from me, but you get pretty much what is expected including great special effects, a lot of action, close calls, and Teal'c being ever so... well Teal'c like :-) It is a good wrap-up to the outstanding series Stargate SG-1 - The Complete Series Collection, and I also recommend Stargate: Continuum for those that want a little more. Highly recommended for Stargate SG1 fans! Rating:  - Close, but not quite thereThis movie is a good fix for a Star Gate junkie like myself. I've enjoyed Stargate SG-1 since very early on. I didn't find this movie very compelling. The story line was good, but not that good. It was in may ways predictable. It had a few surprises. The special effects were very good, but the storyline itself wasn't that great to me. I like Continuum much better than this movie. Do I think it is a worthwhile addition to my SG-1 collection - absolutely - they had me at the opening lines! Rating: - SG-1 The End?Not having cable TV I was always a season behind on Stargate SG-1. It was usually hit-or-miss on broadcast television in my viewing area as far as airing times and continuation. Therefor, I was happy to see the final episode released as a movie. One of the "menu" choices even included a brief prelude summary leading up to the movie itself. The movie started out a little slow, but soon ramped up into high gear as befitting this final episode. The effects, acting, and story line were top notch. To my surprise,they even brought back an earlier enemy that added an additional exciting element to the story. My only complaint is that after purchasing this DVD, I learned that another SG-1 movie is available for purchase. So, which is ...
