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

Great Continuation ! (2008-09-08)

If you are a Stargate SG1 fan you will definately want to purchase this movie. I have been a fan since the beginning with the original Stargate with Kurt Russel. I usually have found spin offs lacking from original releases but I just fell in love with this series and how the charactors all interact and bring out the best in each others charactors. I found Stargate Continuum to possess a fantastic storyline that keeps you captivated through out the movie. My only critical point is that the ending kind of comes up abrupt, kind of "huh" its over. I still loved this and will add it to my Stargate collection. A word of caution to potential buyers - there are bad imitations from market place sellers so beware. Amazon.com took great care of me as I was one who got taken from a low price and recieved a bootleg copy with sub titles you can not turn off. I then purchased from Amazon.com and recieved a perfect "New DVD". Hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did

stargate:continuum (2008-09-08)

This is an awesome addition to the Stargate series. Hope there's more to come.

Fun Alt-History storyline, great for the shelf... after watching a million times, of course (2008-09-07)

"Continuum" is a to-be-expected episodic continuation of the SG-1 series. It doesn't fill in any gaps or danglers left from the series as did the DVD-only release for "The Ark of Truth." The quality and story is top-notch as always although it's more of a small-screen episode. The extra features certainly make it worth watching (Amanda Tapping and submarines... by way of e.g.), if not purchasing for a home library.The biggest thing about SG-1 is that it was such a compelling episodic piece that TV without it is bland... just as when the Star Trek serials were killed off by the bean counters, or BSG by it's regenerators... at least there's "Stargate Atlantis" for now... and the hopefully continuing DVD-only pieces like "The Ark of Truth" and "Continuum." If you like SciFi, "Continuum" is a collector or SG-1 fan's must-have.

A must for SG-1 fans!! (2008-09-07)

If you are a die hard SG-1 fan, this movie is a must. Period. Cast, story and plot are great and like some of the best SG-1 episodes. Take if from a longtime and active gateworld.com member. You will not be disappointed.
