I bought this movie 2 days ago and got to see it now, and im somehow thinking.... can I have my money back? I swear I saw this same story line somewhere in the series, I also swear that Ba'al was done for. I swear they could of made this movie to wrap up the entire storyline and at the end make it seem like utopia was reached in the universe with all the worlds interacting and living peacefully... like seriously.. what happened? Wheres the Ori? Im so confused!

The ori arc ended with the last movie.

Yes, I have that movie too, however it was too rushed and some of it didnt make any sense. Also I personally think that the special effects in Continuum were horrible... so 90's and the captain of the ship could definetly of been a different actor instead of Browder again!

as was pointed out, The Ark of Truth did the ori thing.

the only purpose of the two movies is to tie up loose ends. that's it. they weren't supposed to have a crazy, insane story

RDA was really only in like one scene.

did you noitce how old and out of shape he was? i'm used to the younger, energetic, more in shape RDA :(

Continuum hasn't been released in Australia yet (another week away) so I can't comment on it yet (other then I plan to pick it on on Blu-Ray :D) I got Arc of Truth and I really enjoyed that one and I've been told Continuum is better :happy:

Continuum was good, but ark of truth was horrible. The last battle between the two chicks looked like two balloons filled with air let go instead of CGI.

If the final battle looked like two balloons, then you watched the leaked copy, which didn't have the finished visual effects. (You may have also noted that Adria walked off of a wooden thing, and that she switched back and forth between being on fire, and no being on fire, along with text at one or two points indicating not-present vfx)

If you watched the actual DVD, which had the real visual effects, it was pretty nice. The final battle was very similar to when Oma attacked Anubis, but Adria was more of a red fireball than a ball of glowing light.

I think the problem with the Ark of Truth is that they basically compressed what season 11 was going to be into an hour and a half. Stuff seemed missing... Like, out of the blue they were "Oh yeah, Daniel has been having these visions...."

Continuum, however, played out like a nice long SG-1 story, and not a bunch of stories mashed together. I was happy with it. Though, I would have liked a little more explanation on the machine Ba'al used. It had to have been built by either the Ancients or Anubis, based on the Ancient text on the console...

I've watched Continuum (twice now) and I have to be honest, the first time I watched it I was very disappointed. However, I attributed that to having too high expectations when I watched it the first time, the second watch through I really enjoyed it :p :) (I have to say, it's awesome in HD too :happy:)

I did enjoy, was nice to see Jack back was like listening a regular episode of SG1 :) . The story was good, I had no expectation about this one so maybe that's why I am not too disappointed. It's just unfortunate that they didn't continue SG1 but I like Atlantis now.

I have all 10 seasons, including the movie Stargate, Stargate: The Ark of Truth, and Stargate: Continuum. I also have all 4 seasons of Atlantis (my favourite stargate series).

Continuum wasn't bad if you think of it as "just another episode". If you think of it in terms of an actual Stargate movie... well, it was a disappointment. Though it did rate slightly higher than The Arc of Truth.

I'd like to see another SG1 movie... something that feels more epic and less like a SG: Atlantis episode.

It was nice to see everyone again. Don Davis, RDA, Amanda, and the rest of the SG1 crew.... heck, I even enjoy Ba'al and think he plays a great bad guy.

both the movies were a complete let down, continuum was even worse than ark of truth ... i loved the concept for the movie but they tried to fit too much into it and like the tv series the conclusion comes really quick and about 5 minutes before the end ... im disappointed because i was really looking forward to both the movies i loved watching SG1 (still watch atlantis) and i just feel they could have done a better job with both the movies ... well i never really liked the ori story line but thats another thread.
