If Continuum, the second feature length, made-for-DVD film spun off from the long-running Stargate SG-1 television series, marks the end of this wing of the franchise--and it is hardly a certainty, given the show's Lazarus-like history--then all involved, including the viewer, should be well satisfied. Continuum commingles all the elements that have made Stargate so eminently watchable over the years, including engaging characters and storyline, plenty of action, impressive sets, and first-rate special effects. This time the whole gang is on hand, as the most recent SG-1 contigent (Ben Browder as fearless leader Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell, Amanda Tapping as the brainy 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, motor-mouthed Vala) is joined by characters whose roles had been reduced or eliminated along the way; principal among the latter is Richard Dean Anderson, whose Major General Jack O'Neill makes a welcome return after sitting out The Ark of Truth, the first post-series film (both of Stargate Command's head honchos, played by Beau Bridges and the late Don S. Davis, are also back). The villain is familiar as well: Ba'al (Cliff Simon), the last of the "Goa'uld system lords," who's scheduled to be executed--or, more specifically, "extracted," whereby the bad mojo inside him will be exorcised. Things don't quite go as planned, of course. Ba'al has managed to manipulate time, creating a situation where Mitchell, Jackson, and Carter find themselves caught in a paradox, an alternate timeline in which the Stargate program never even existed, making it easy for the bad guy and his gigantic space brigade to launch an all-out attack on Earth (though long-threatened throughout the series, such an invasion never actually happened until now). Our heroes' intrepid efforts to thwart Ba'al's dastardly scheme take them from the Arctic (for real) to the cockpits of F-15 jets and even the hold of a 1930s cargo ship (built specially for the occasion). All this, and Browder portraying his own grandfather too? Yo, Stargate: Continuum rocks! --Sam Graham

 Good to go October 15, 2008
Good movie. Better than the Ark of Truth. Some critics say it hurried at the end - I'm not sure of that. I mean I hate Star Trek Next Generation because of the hurried, jump-ahead endings that left a lot of info out. I did not have that feeling at all with this movie.
It would have been great if they threw in an appearance of the Russian commander that were in earlier StarGate episodes. Also, I wish Jack had a little more animosity towards Ball - after all, he did torture him more than any human ever (previous episodes). And in fact, after the torture episode is when Jack became more sarcastic. The writers probably did not even realize the timing of this slight character change. Jack is, through his sarcasm, still no doubt hiding the psycological pain of the torture Ball inflicted on him.
Ok enough of that... It is still a very good moive.
 Stargate: The Review October 14, 2008
Slow at times, but overall an excellent and fun addition to the Stargate story. Over the years I've thoroughly enjoyed any episode that deals with using the gate for other purposes than just "going off-world" - intentionally or unintentionally. The way this story happened - as a result of Ba'al trying to manipulate an entire galaxy just to save himself from being destroyed (how self-absorbed the Goau'ld can be) - seemed very in-line with the Stargate universe and a natural adventure SG-1 would have.
I like the treat at the end with the picture in the locker.
From a strictly "Amazon.com purchaser" perspective, I pre-ordered the item and it arrived within 24-hours, even with 2-day shipping. Package was whole and unspoiled (no shipping mishaps) when it was delivered.
Stargate: Continuum DVD October 14, 2008
DVD was in great shape, arrived with in expected time, and a very good movie.
 Yawn October 11, 2008
I love Stargate but both movies have been average at best,Continuum is just not very engaging the actors all seem like they would rather be someplace else, the core cast is woefully under used and the pacing as with The Ark Of Truth is completely off, worst of all the storyline has been done before and better in the series.
Stargate: Continuum -- A New Frontier October 9, 2008
For all those who love the 10 years of Stargate you will love this new flick. It is a new look with a new twist. ENJOY!
