Amazon.com 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
Stargate: ContinuumDecember 2, 2008 I miss Stargate: SG1, so this was great. Loved seeing some of the originals in this movie, like Richard Dean Anderson and the late Don S. Davis. I love the Stargate universe and miss SG1 weekly, I watched Stargate from the original Showtime series and even loved the original '94 Kurt Russell movie.
THE BIGGEST CON IN THE UNIVERSE OF DVD!November 30, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
And a slap in the face to the fans of this lame show! I have watched every episode of this series at least once; some twice or even three times, if they are exceptional! But what I cannot stand is being taken for a chump! I am not going to go into a detailed review of these two "Straight to DVD movies". There are more than enough posts to cover the bogus, rehashed plot elements. I am briefly going to cover one important fact. The Stargate & Company franchise's attitude to their viewers: "To hades with you, give us your money chimp!" This is the formula that is truly in place for the continuation of Stargate & Company! They were supposed to release these movies on DVD and then air them on SciFi. Greed entered the picture; and now it's like waiting on some lost Orson Welles masterpiece to finally be aired on telelvision. Well, this is not masterpiece--though I wish it were lost. To think of all the time spent by so many viewers of the show, and then these schmucks do not end the series; they just want to force everyone to buy a DVD that ends the series; but wait, it doesn't end it so you have to buy "Continuum" to have an ending. But they are already trying to assemble the original cast for a third ending? How many endings to we have to have? As many as shall make them so comfortable they can buy their own Stargate! :( And if you doubt my assessment, then you need only know that Stargate Atlantis is ending after only five seasons. They are going to film a movie continuing their battle with the Wraith (the Goua'uld with bad, blue skin problems); this we are told shall air on Scifi, then go to DVD. And if this promise is kept? What about after? I bet no more Scifi first airings. Oh no: straight to DVD, and we may never see Atlantis movies on Scifi again. Not that that wouldn't be a tragedy. But the idea I am to shut up and buy a DVD to find out the ending of a show takes you and me for utter imbeciles. In short: they can take the whole franchise, along with the con, and shove it up their "stargate hole"! And a third series is in the making: "Stargate Universe" or something like that. It shall air on Scifi. If it's successful, welcome to Ori-hell. It's end without ending; and shall go to "DVD movie of the week status!" Just like these. Idiotic. We should all "dial-out"; and leave Stargate as a very bad memory. Sort of like roasted Prior, without the parsely! Stick a fork in "it", and this franchise! It is done . . .

Stargate: Continuum is beautifully writtenNovember 27, 2008 Having been a huge fan of Stargate when Richard Dean Anderson was still involved, I loved the return to classic Stargate battle to save Earth from the Goulds. I wasn't a fan of the Ark of Truth--and was hesitant to watch Continuum. I am very glad I did. There were many beautifully written scenes throughout, Landry's speech, Daniels attempting to contact himself, the President, the full lineup of the classic Goulds of the past, including Apophus and Ra (from the Stargate movie). What a treat!
We cant watch it on our TVNovember 22, 2008 The quality is good but we live in Australia and our problem is that we can only watch the DVD's on our computer as they won't play on our DVD and TV. There must be something wrong with the formatting oe something, but we can watch them on the computer which is ok but disappointing.
StarGate: Continuum- Is this the End?November 13, 2008 I like the way this one turned out! Looks like they neatly and tidily wrapped up the G'ould saga and can now close out the series without loose ends, or have them move on to other enterprises like getting rid of those pesky Ori, once and for all!
