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

This is a fantastic addition to the Stargate family, it definitely helps close the Ba'al chapter, and hopefully keep the SG-1 franchise alive and breathing. If your a fan of the either SG series then this is a required addition to your Blue Ray collection!
 Excellent! October 5, 2008
This is a great addition to the Stargate universe. You see all the favorite characters and get an actual end to an on-going storyline. I enjoy it a lot.
GREAT MOVIE October 4, 2008
I INJOYED THIS MOVIE OF STAR GATE SG1 THIS SHOW WAS GREAT AND STILL IS INJOY THE SHOW..DANNY
Never a Stargate around when you need one October 1, 2008
Unlike Ark of Truth, which hurried to wrap up the SG-1 storyline with a nice little bow, Continuum doesn't have any more of those condensed mini-storylines that we love so much (or not). The trade-off is that its is basically a giant time travel episode that gets erased from existence by the end. Naturally, since this is an SG-1 reunion, the Goa'uld are back. Not that I'm complaining, but after the Ori (a pale imitation of the Goa'uld, but at least they had a justification for their evil), the egomaniacal Goa'uld seem like a step back. I think Ark of Truth is a better 'cap' to the series.
The high point of the movie is Carter, Jackson, and Mitchell's struggles to adapt to the unfriendly new Earth. I liked all the 'alt universe' versions of the team, particularly "Mirror" Teal'c. Despite the shiny new Ba'al insignia on his forehead, he's the most sensible guy among Ba'al's underhanded, sucker-punching cohorts. Proving once again that the "good" General Landry is a exception to the rule (see s.10 ep "Road Not Taken"), "Mirror" Landry is such a jerk that I half-expected him to turn out to be a Goa'uld, which actually would have been really cool; Alas, no such luck. Vala Mal Doran has an interesting turn as her Goa'uld counterpart, Quetesh, who makes for a crafty (if one-dimensional) villainess. It's too bad the Goa'uld voice-distortion effect disguises her voice, because it would be interesting to see how Claudia Black speaks with a evil personality.
Unfortunately, story dictates that our heroes spend almost the entire movie without their outer space weapons, tricked-out gear, or even a titular stargate. To be honest, it seems a little (forgive the term) alien.
A Great Movie September 30, 2008
