Fans 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
Description
Blasting off where the Sci-Fi Channelâ??s longest running show, Stargate SG-1, left off, this thrilling feature thrusts the Stargate team â?" Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), Vala (Claudia Black), Tealâ??c (Christopher Judge), Sam (Amanda Tapping) and Cam (Ben Browder) â?" into their biggest challenge yet. In search of an Ancient artifact they hope can defeat the oppressive Ori, the team not only learns that the Ori are set to launch a final assault on Earth, but a double-crossing I.O. operative is aboard the Odyssey! Also starring Beau Bridges, this pulse-pounder is loaded with enough suspense, humor and action to fill a galaxy!

 Great Ending. Loved it! May 9, 2008
Reviewer (Southeast, USA)
A great ending to a great series! If you're a fan I know you've already seen it or plan too. If you haven't followed the series you may not enjoy this as much.
Awesome May 9, 2008
Andrew Bentley (Duluth, MN)
I may be an uber-Stargate fan, but I loved the movie, and felt that it provided a good conclusion to the 10th season of SG1. I was a little disappointed in the return of our robotic friends which had been previously eliminated, but felt that plot was great and the characters kept their humorous edge on the situations
 Ark of Truth Flops at Finish Line May 8, 2008
S. Bowers (Mesa, AZ)
It was billled as the tie that will bind up the loose ends for our favorite air force special ops known as SG-1, and conclude the epic delima caused by the malicious Ori. While I enjoyed the acting and energy the cast placed into the story, it was the story that I felt most dissapointed on. While I can understand that adressing all elements of the story arc with the Ori is next to impossible, I was most dissapointed with the final show down with Adria. Without giving away any spoilers for those who have not seen the film, I'll just say they solved the problem with her by using "Magic Wizards"- A translation of this means that what was supposed to be a big, all out, triumph for the SG-1 and those who were plagued by Adria and her minions, ultimatly was not. I felt as if the writers wrote themselvs into a corner and when they could't get out of it, they brought in a supernatural force that was used minmally to toot the victory horn, hence, when you can't explain it well or don't know what to do, use Magic Wizards. They can end any story and get any hero out of a bind, magically. You know, it's sci- fi, anything can happen, right? So while I loved the characters and their job, I blame poor writing and "Magic Wizards " for the flop at the finish line called the Ark of Truth.
 ok as a series ender May 8, 2008
Miles R. Fidelman
Had to buy it to see how the Ori story arc ended. Would have been great as the series finale for Stargate SG-1, but not a stand-alone movie. Sort of a clever business move to end the series with a cliff-hanger, and then release the final episode on DVD - but....
Amazing!!!! May 8, 2008
Len Carter (Dobbs Ferry, NY United States)
I can only say one thing AMAZING!!! Can we ask WHY this show was cancelled or set out to pasture???? I'm glad to hear that they will continue Stargate via direct to DVD because the story, special effects and the cast truly are one of the best in Sci-Fi.
