Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

An Arc of Truth may have been used on SG-1 writers. Everything lost from Stargate SG-1 in the final season and especially in the final episode was back for this movie. The sense of wonder and mystery returned. Stargate was stargate again.The opening scene gave hope this movie was going to be good. Unfortunately, that required Prior mayor's death. Take that you bastard! The Replicators returned with a new twist on a human form, or was that a Terminator? Mitchell fighting the Replicaterminator was epic.If you like or even love SG-1, don't miss this movie. It provides the end to the Ori story the final TV episode didn't even attempt.

Hi folks,My wife and I have been watching Stargate: SG1 for the past few months, we finally finished Season 10 and were disappointed when we found out that the series had been canceled - however, after hearing about this movie (that "finishes" the Ori story) we were SUPER stoked and dedicated a full night for the movie, popcorn and everything.Sadly, that was where the fun ended. I have so many gripes about the storyline, execution and directing that I don't even know where to start. I might be totally over reacting on a few of these, and I can also forgive a few of them, but there is so much wrong that I simply hated the movie, and it really sucked to end such a great series this way.1. Replicator Skeleton. Really guys? Let's just throw a terminator in the movie. Because. Why not. The replicators have NEVER behaved like that or have shown anything like it before - it wasn't even relatable to the human replicators. Let's not even go into why it made sense for a replicator to lodge itself into a human body (how the hell does that help it?) but to make a human skeleton afterwards too? Seriously? Both "forms" we're totally out of character and frankly, retarded.2. The Ark. Or should I say. The Staples Easy Button. I mean, not to mention that it's never been mentioned before, fine - it's a movie, and they needed something to defeat the Ori, so I understand they needed a weapon, but how god damned convenient this thing was. A bright light. Spreads everywhere through the staffs. Was shot and opened perfectly in the dudes head, by chance. Visions let Daniel find it within a few minutes. Totally random dialing code by a person who claimed she couldn't remember the combination, let alone they guessed the combination on one try correctly - as if the weapon was not convenient enough.3. The Ori Prior. The prior at the base, despite being at the base for like half the movie, I guess the Anti-Ori powered weapon was just taking care of him for way longer than it usually does. (they are supposed to overcome it after a short amount of time, instead, the dudes just chilling, after being told to can it and that he would die ("go to hell") with them).4. Two missing characters. O'neill and General Hammond, not even mentioned ONCE, let alone, no appearances! I'm sorry - but both characters were the heart of the show for at least 8-9 seasons, to end the entire series without them, not even as side characters, or even mentions, was, utterly, so disappointing. I can't even express how lame this is for me, and I would expect, their fans.5. The Orisi. Oh my god. She had to have a dual voice going on when ascended, which is not at all ever the case with any ascended beings that we've seen before. She sounded weird. No reason to go make her sound like that. Every time she talked I cringed and asked why she had to sound that way, we get it, she's powerful, sigh. (so powerful that she conveniently left, did nothing, came back, did a lot more of nothing, and then "died" easily). For an ascended being that had the combined power of all worshipers, without needing to share that power, she sure was the weakest villain I've ever seen. No, I don't buy that the ark reached ALL of her followers, just the ones around the Priors.6. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how god damn easy it is to lose the warp abilities after the first hit or explosion. The series did this ALL THE TIME, and they hit the nail right on the head with the movie. You think they would have backups by now. COME ON GUYS! ITS ALWAYS DOWN. (including the beam technology, seriously, this is supposed to be a Asgard enhanced ship).7. The last scene, the ending scene, the scene that ended the entire SG1 series, they did not show the gate. Sigh. I know this should go under the smaller gripes above, but the series is called stargate, I expected to see the gate turn, a few closeups, and the 5 of them walk through it before the scene ended and the movie finish. Instead, the dude just goes "hit it!" and we're supposed to just use our imaginations and imagine them walking through as the movie fades. Daling the gate must have been not in the budget.I haven't been this disappointed in a movie since I watched Dragonball Evolution or The Last Airbender. Before anyone comments, I KNOW, I'm being far too critical and cynical, but this series was one of my most favorite series, and I just feel totally empty after watching what was supposed to be the final bang, the final goodbye, to an awesome, beautiful, show.Anywho, comments appreciated, and thanks in advance. Would love to know if anyone shares my disappointment, or if in fact they liked the movie (which is fine, to each his own, right?)Cheers,-d.

OK things I liked about Stargate: The Ark of Truth: + Nice intro. + Nice ending. Things I didn't like about Stargate: The Ark of Truth: - Poor corny acting with inappropriate comedy I found an issue throughout the entire show(s) Apart from Universe which remain to be seen. Low resolution Visual Effects: Low model texturing on that spaceship. Poor weapon effects on the Ori spaceships. Poor giant Stargate models. * Didn't have the money to do better? lacked creativity? *Mediocre Script: What's the point of telling a story if it adds nothing to the show credibility. * Quick cash that's the answer. * - Poor props: Super clean village, anyone? Shiny clean million year old artifacts? - Poor customs: * Same team as power rangers? * Bad camera work: On sets that clearly were made in one day. Ie that super clean village, dudes if you don't have the money to make something good, hide it with camera angles. * 101 stuff. * Goodbye SG1, maybe goodbye Atlantis.. All hopes rest with Universe.

When I was watching the last episode of Season 10, I thought - Is that the end?! Then I heard about this little gem and for the most part it works. Pity we didn't see O'Neill though I believe he may have a part in the forthcoming Continuum movie.The only thing I have a bug bear with is the plot device, er, device called The Ark Of Truth.This kind of reminded me of a plot line from Star Trek where the crew conveniently find some machine or technology to deal with the whole problem just by turning it on. As much as I like Trek, mind you.And why do the Ancients harp on (haha so to speak) about non-interference? I mean they are the first ones to help when their backs are against the wall (in a non-coporeal sense of course).Still plenty of action and more expansive location work esp over the mountains. Well worth a watch. I'm one of the lucky ones to be able to afford digital TV which broadcast this last Easter Monday.
