Spoiler: Nothing Original Here...sigh. [Posted on 2008-07-03] I'm a great SG-1 fan and have everything from the Role-playing game to all ten seasons. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in the Ark of Truth. There was nothing new. Nothing even creative. The worst part for me was bringing back the Replicators. These creatures were already beat to death and here they served only as a means to give SG-1 something to blow up.
The main characters had virtually nothing to do in the movie. Sam spent her time blowing stuff up. Tilk, nothing but looking tough. Daniel, Vala...bit parts while special affects and the ancients saved the day. As a collector of SG-1 stuff I had to purchase it. As a movie...well, it's a pretty lame attempt to recreate the glory times of the series.
Good Saga [Posted on 2008-07-05] I was very pleased with how the Ori saga ended, it was as great as the show, and even more so as a movie, everything I expected and more, and I can't wait for the next movie. I'm a big Stargate fan, have been for years, and this movie just proves how great of a show it was.
disapointed [Posted on 2008-07-09] So far I have returned 2 DVD's due to corrupt sectors. The quality is extremely poor and the script could have been written by a fifth grader. The movie continues in the same mundane direction that caused the series to fail. I was really looking forward to the movie but am totaly disapointed.
The original Stargate movie was great. The series SG-1 was great up to sometime in season 7. And, YES, I do have all 10 seasons of SG-1 along with all seasons of Atlantis! If I coulld have entered no stars, I would have.
Rent the movie first and if you like it, then buy it.
Good movie for Stargate SG-1 fans [Posted on 2008-07-13] "The Ark of Truth" finishes the Ori story arc when season 10 of Stargate SG-1 ended its run on SciFi. For non-Stargate watchers, the movie might get a little confusing. For Stargate watchers, it's a very nice way to continue the beloved series.
There are plenty of things to like about the movie. Excellent visual effects, nice battle scenes with Ori followers, as well as a wink and a nod to "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on occasion, make this a step above the average show episode. And yes, the Ori story arc is finally closed.
What's not to like? No big battle between the Ancients and the Ori, Carter suddenly becoming less efficient and a lot more girly, yet another over-the-top IOA guy, and last but not least the "resurrection" of a long defeated enemy. And oh yeah, no Jack O'Neill.
Overall, the good points outweigh the bad and I would recommend this movie.
Hurry for the next one [Posted on 2008-07-15] This series is amazing, I'm really in a hurry for the next movie.
This one was in the line of the serie but too short.
If you're a fan like me, just get it!
