| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter Dr. Daniel Jackson Vala Mal Doran and the alien Tealc all members of the elite Stargate SG-1 team travel to the ruins of Dakara in hopes of finding the fabled Ark of Truth. Built by the Alterans (builders of the stargates) millions of years before this ancient artifact may be the sole means remaining to defeat the Ori armies who have thus far proven unstoppable in their quest to conquer the universe in the name of their religion Origin.System Requirements:Running Time: 102 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY/FANTASY Rating: NR UPC: 883904102908 Manufacturer No: M110290 | | | | 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 | |

| A great wrap up for the Ori | |
| | Once again, like Continuum, I could have gone easily on a 4 or 6 hours wrap for it seems they did lack of time in this dvd to make it all wrap up,yet, the storyline is rather excellent and a fantastic way to wrap up the Ori story, left unfinished on season 10. The introduction shall allow many who don't know the series to at least catch up with season 10 finale in order to understand better that movie. the bonus are also fantastic
| | | This movie is really a present to the fans of SG1. They had a larger budget than your typical TV movie, and it shows. Also, since this movie ties up the rather twisted Ori story arch introduced in the final seasons of the show, it includes a nice overview of the situation so that new viewers can get some enjoyment out of it (albeit not nearly as much as fans who are familiar with the story).
| | | This is now part of my Stargate DVD collection. Great movie, it had everything you would expect from the episodes, but longer with better graphics and composition. It made a good finish to the series.
| | SG-1 completes victory over the Ori | |
| | Nice to see SG-1 in action again after the shows cancellation. Christopher Judge is amazing in his search to find the team. Must see DVD!
| | Entertaining but technical issues | |
| | I enjoy all things Stargate and this was no exception. One quibble - I swear Teal'c's (incredibly fake-looking) gray patch switched to the other side of his head briefly. Of course, this may have been a result of my only real issue which is that the disc experienced freezing about halfway through. I was finally able to play through on another player.
