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

 A Great Movie September 30, 2008
I loved the series star gate sg-1 when i saw this dvd i knew i had to add it to my collection
Great Stuff!!! September 30, 2008
As a hungry Stargate SG1 fan, it felt good to see the crew again. Nice movie!!
Utterly Awesome! September 30, 2008
Wow! this one was good, really really good. I wasn't so crazy about the last one, but I loved this one! Stargate at it's best. Just hope the rest of them and the SGA ones are just as good
For the fans! September 29, 2008
This end well and a bit fast stories left by the end of season 10.
This is meat for the fans or who watch season 10.
Lot's of great special effects!
The Postman Rings only when he/she has something to deliver September 29, 2008
Continuum has several different messages and lessons incorporated into the regular plot and may just save the Atlantis spinoff. Loved the fact that they knew it was going to be on Blu-Ray so they inserted some splendid non Vancouver shots. I am totally biased as I have all Stargates from the Original movie to all episodes of both series and the direct to DVDs. I was a huge Farscape fan (have all of their DVDs), so when we went to Stargate SG1 to Stargate SG1.3 I accepted the "Bump" and was sorry to see it wind down.
My only problem with both the regular and Blu-Ray DVDs was that Amazon gave me tracking numbers for both products, (which were pre-ordered), and the Postman had nothing to deliver for a month or so-both were in transit. I hope this means that MGM made a tidy profit and more will follow.
And while some may say that we are watching repackaged Soaps, my middle child has decided to get his PHD in Physics, so good Science Fiction may have beneficial side effects.
Buy it with confidence as $20 is a fair price.
