Editorial Review:

Amazon.comFans disappointed by the demise of the Stargate SG-1 television series after ten fruitful seasons will delight in The Ark of Truth, the first full-length movie to follow in the show’s wake. In fact, some will be more than pleased--they’ll be relieved. For not only does the 102-minute film offer an opportunity to enjoy the same likable characters, reliable effects work, superior writing, and other elements that made the series so appealing, but after season upon season in which viewers were left wondering how everything turned out, The Ark finally brings at least one cliffhanger to a conclusion: the storyline involving the villains known as the Ori, who dominated SG-1’s final two years. Our heroes (including Ben Browder as fearless leader Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell, Amanda Tapping as the intrepid 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 Vala) have long known that the Ori are perhaps the most irresistible force they’ve ever encountered, in part because they are 'ascended' beings who don’t exist in recognizable physical form (their spaceships do, and they're huge). But now the team faces an even greater threat: the Ori have set their sights on good ol’ Planet Earth. That’s where the Ark comes in; if the good guys can just get their hands on it, they hope this ancient artifact will effectively put the big, bad Ori, their minions, and their entire religion (known as 'Origin') out of business. Of course, it ain’t easy. Both collectively and individually, the team will be severely tested, their task complicated not only by the Ori but by an arrogant, clueless government official whose meddling results in the return of the metallic, insect-like Replicators. There’s little doubt about how it will all turn out--after all, there’s at least one more movie already in the pipeline--but it’s all about the ride, and despite a few flaws (as was sometimes the case with the series, the script leans a bit too hard on exposition and techno babble), this one is lots of fun. Bonus features include commentary by writer-director Robert Cooper and others, a lengthy 'making of,' and a helpful 'prelude' to bring the uninitiated up to speed. --Sam Graham

- Stargate SG1 The Ark of Truth
I enjoyed every minute of this movie. It answers many questions left hanging when the series ended. Any SG1 fan will love this.

Rating:

- I loved the Ori storyline, but this movie is just average.
I was a bit underwhelmed by this movie, despite my passionate interest in the stargate universe and my appreciation of the ori storyline.

I thought the Ori were a great evolution of the stargate story, but this concluding chapter was a bit of a let-down. Many other reviewers commented on the various specifics, but basically if you've seen the rest of the Ori saga in seasons 9 & 10 you'll want to see this movie. It just isn't as good as it could have been.

Rating:

- Enjoyed the show
If you enjoyed the series and were looking for a wrap up of the lose strings left when it ended you will most likely like this movie. I really enjoyed this movie and recommend it for any SG-1 fan looking for closure. I found it to be a satisfying wrap up to a story line of a series that I have enjoyed since the original theater movie came out. Of course any chance to see Claudia Black and Amanda Tapping again would get four stars, minimum from me.

Rating:

- Excellent!
A great addition to the Stargate universe. This gives an end to an on-going storyline without sacrificing the story. It's good to see all the same characters fight the good fight. I really enjoy this movie.
