I enjoyed the movie, the only complaint I have is.......please let O'neill and Carter get together....at last! They have come so close and still are bound by military regulations.

The Ark of Truth was an o.k. movie. I liked it because it is Stargate and because I wanted to see the actors again. Continuum, on the other hand, is superb. The story is great, the actors are fabulous - that's what SG1 was all about a couple of years ago.

This is the second movie after the conclusion of SG-1. It is a little more like a movie (rather than a long episode) because they are not finishing a story arc from the series. Admitedly, they're still dealing with pre-established characters and situations.

It starts off with the team (and Jack O'Neill--hooray!) going to watch Baal, the last of the system lords, being forcibly removed from his host. Baal tells the team that he is actually the last clone of Baal and that the real Baal has something special planned now that the final cloned symbiote is about to die. Now the team, used to this sort of nonsense from Baal, don't believe him (I wouldn't either). But then Teal'c disappears into thin air (casting darker doubts upon Vala's sudden absence from moments before).

Now, I don't want to spoil anything for anyone so I'm just going to tell you what you ought to know from the cover anyway. It involves time travel and an alternate timeline. We see many familiar faces too, including some of the other system lords and Hammond. And, as always, there is lots of typical stargate comedy.

Having said this much, I assume that those who have seen the series (seasons one through ten) will be able to imagine what sorts of events go on (even if the particulars aren't all laid out for them). Those who have not will be surprised (if perhaps a little confused). As always, it helps in the watching of this film if you have a solid background with the characters and the events of the TV series.

I must say that I enjoyed it very much and would suspect that many sci-fi fans would be able to jump right in and see it. Hope you like it too.
