 Finally on Blu-Ray! June 2, 2008
97 out of 141 found this review helpful
Any Gate fan should be excited for this product because it marks several milestones in the Stargate franchise. First, and most obvious, it's the first of any of the television products to be released in Blu-ray. With SG-1 and Atlantis coming soon I'm excited to see what they're going to look like, but this will be Hi-Def out of the box. It's amazing to see how far this show has come in funding. Another reason why this is a milestone is because it's the 'last' official SG-1 title scheduled. Featuring Richard Dean Anderson and the closing cast of SG-1 it be an explosive finish to an explosive series. And finally, it's been rumored to introduce the idea of the third spin-off series - Stargate: Universe. It's a must have for any Stargate fan and a nice final conclusion to the longest running American Sci-fi show.
**Spoilers**
The plot centers around the exploits of the Ga'ould Baal and his final (?) attempt to stop Earth from ever interfering with the reign of the Ga'ould in the galaxy. He travels through time and takes Earth's gate, preventing the Giza expedition from ever unearthing it and the Stargate program from ever forming. Somehow, the members of SG-1 are immune to the time distortion and set-off to find T'ealc, who is still the first prime to Apophis. It's a literal race against time as SG-1 try to discover the location of the gate and restore the timeline to it's correct state.
**Stargate: Universe Spoiler**
As mentioned above, it should contain information on the third upcoming series, which was recently announced to revolved around a ship that the Ancients sent out possibly millions of years before Atlantis even left Earth. This ship was following an automated ship that was planting Stargates throughout the galaxy. Apparently the Ancients established the only way to this ship was through the use of the ninth chevron on Earth's gate, which is presumedly going to be discussed for the first time in this movie.
 Good sense of closure July 4, 2008

I enjoyed this more than The Ark of Truth. Looking back it makes a nice closing chapter in the 'trilogy' that includes the season 10 series finale, Ark of Truth and this movie. Each one gives a sense of closure to all major SG1 themes: the relationship between characters (Finale), the Ori(plus the replicators on AoT) and now the System Lords. The fist 30 minutes or so where a little boring for me because it has been reveled before but once the story gets going its a lot of fun. People who likes SG1 because it is set on earth in the present will probably like it. There where dog fights (F-15 vs Gliders) reminiscent of ID4 and a a few other things that reminded me of certain Season 5 episode of Babylon 5. There is a twist that I did not see coming that I enjoyed a lot. There are a lot of surprise guest stars and no-so-surprise ones. It suffers a little of been-there-done-that in terms of alternate time line stories but all in all a very enjoyable film for fans.
Every Stargate Fan Will Love This One July 3, 2008

A real action-packed adventure. There's never a dull moment in Stargate Continuum. I'd love to tell give you more details but seeing how it hasn't been released yet, today is July 3rd, I don't want to spoil it for my fellow Stargate brothers and sisters.
This is definitely a must have for your collection. You won't be disappointed, at least not by much. However, I didn't like how one character had to make a sacrifice in the end. Aside from that, I'm very happy with this movie.
The best stargate so far... July 5, 2008
After 10 seasons stargate was still going strong. The Arc of Truth which finnished up the Ori story line was just ok in my opinion but this one was amazing... The effects, story and acting was perfect. It was exciting to see my favorite team back in action allong with Baal the last of the system lords. If you ever liked the original feel to stargate you will love this. I am amazed at how well they did and it even had Jack back too. Two words... "Buy This!" Bluray is even better! I only wish this came to theaters........
