Stargate Continuum
Space travel, time travel, massive space battles and lots of science jargon. No, it's not Doctor Who, it's the long awaited Stargate Continuum.
After Ba'al rewrites the timeline, what is left of SG-1 are left on their own, with little time to correct what Ba'al has done, before Earth and all of the galaxy will fall.
Oh, and Jack is back.
The story is one that has been visited many times in the Stargate universe. Altered timelines and repairing them. However, this time there is a twist. Is it morally right to alter a timeline which is the wrong one for a few, but the correct one for billions of others? In a way, it's a new take on the old Star Trek philosophy, with the Vulcan phrase "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" pitted against captain Kirk's "Sometimes the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many, or the few".
The movie itself is like one big fan service. It is as if the writers and producers all went in to a big room and someone, probably Martin Wood went "ok guys, this may be the last SG-1 movie we ever make, and we need to make it perfect". And then Brad Wright said something like "how about we resurrect every single character ever written out of the series". And then they just built on that idea.
The amazing thing is, it worked. It's a massive fan service, with a proper plot, great dialogue, actual drama and thrilling action sequnces. If this is to be the last Stargate SG-1 movie, they really did not go quietly in to that good night. They went in a roar of thunder and fire.

*bounces up and down*
I'm gonna see it tomorrow!!!!
I love one of the scenes in the trailer...
Daniel, to Ba'al: You're lying...
Jack *sidles up to Daniel*: He does that y'know...
Huzzah for cake!Twist - 05:06 - 2008-Jul-4
Oh oh oh also, I did read or hear somewhere that this ISN'T the last SG-1 movie, but it's not sure when the next will be made.
...but don't quote me on that.Twist - 05:07 - 2008-Jul-4
I knows, but when it was being made, MGM had not greenlit or even willing to discuss follow up projects, until they get results on the two DVDs.

Am downloading it as I type...
And my daughter is baking a cake today.
SG-1 Continuum and cake!texican - 08:59 - 2008-Jul-4
I was able to watch it, way back when, and I got all lost in the Great EFX2 Crisis...
What a fantastic movie! You're right...it gave the fans everything they wanted, and it worked. It was good to see Jack back in action and a little bittersweet seeing Hammond of Texas for the last time.texican - 12:47 - 2008-Jul-24
Dude, I think the Hammond scene was absolutely perfect. It's almost eery how his death made the scene work so well, Carter's immense happiness to see the old general again... it was just incredible.

I agree. I will be committing this to DVD. I have a few questions for you...can you pm me your new email addy? I guess I still have the old one.
My ex is kinda pissed at me. We started watching SG-1 when it first came out, and it's still something we have in common. She called me all excited about seeing that a new SG-1 movie was coming out. I told her it was fantastic and she should buy it. Jealousy just doesn't suit her...lol.texican - 01:08 - 2008-Jul-24
