 Just like the series! August 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I took a chance and bought this movie because I got everything else form stargate sg-1 to stargate atlantis and the other movie, The Ark of truth. I was not even a bit disappointed with this movie!
This movie is simply like a 2 part episodes from the original series and they can do many more and I would buy them!
The comedy sticks, everything that was original to the series is all stuck together in this movie. If you are a fan of stargte you will not be one bit disappointed in this one.
Totally loved it!
 Great to see all the actors again! August 4, 2008

I enjoyed this episode of Stargate very much. After seeing it on tv for so many seasons, (I think there were 10 seasons), it was good to see it produced for the big screen again. Quick moving, entertaining, with lots of action. Very interesting premise and it leaves the door open for future episodes. I would certainly watch it again.
 Never received ! August 2, 2008

And we found that DVD at the price we wanted to pay in the first place !
So, bye for now Amazon.CA !

I have to say it's great to see the SG-1 cast back together again, while Atlantis has satisfied my Stargate fix over the past two years that show lacks the chemistry the SG-1 actors built up over 10 years.
Continuum harks back to the good old days of SG-1 and has a nostalgic feel to it throughout. Each of SG-1 cast has their moment in the sun, though Mitchell, Carter, and Jackson are the clear stars of the movie. There are also a number of nice cameos spread throughout the movie including Jack O'Neill. Continuum is better than Ark of Truth only because it did not have the same baggage coming into the movie.
Sadly, the story has been done before on SG-1 (Mobieus) though continuum does it on a much grander scale and the ending is extremely predictable. I think Continuum could have taken a few more rewrites. The major problem with Continuum is that while it seems bigger in scope, it still feels like a souped up episode rather than a movie.
I would highly recommend this movie to SG-1 fans but not to casual or new viewers of Stargate.
And the price has dropped... May 2, 2008

ETA : Amazon.ca currently has two listings for Stargate Continuum. This listing prices the DVD at $23.99. Search Stargate and sort by release date. The second listing prices the DVD at $19.14. Save yourself $5!
Amazon has a tendency to mark their DVDs high and eventually the price lowers, by the time it is released. For example, The Ark of Truth originally listed at $26, but by the time it was released, it had dropped to $19.99. And the pre-order price guarantee does work! I have had it applied to many of my pre-orders. I hope that this will end the price debate.
As for the movie, expect great things! Fans of the website Gateworld, will have been able to read a review of the release. If you would like to read the review, simply Google for Gateworld. I copy this chunk from the review, and I hope that they don't mind:
"In addition to action and adventure, Stargate: Continuum is filled with heart and emotion. There are small character moments that just keep coming, and for those of us who have known and loved these characters for so many years, they are deeply touching. As the problem unfolds in the early minutes of the film, there is a palpable sense that this is the greatest problem SG-1 has ever faced -- and they may not be able to overcome it. They may not all survive."
I, for one, am so excited to get another Stargate movie! It is my hope that a few more films will follow. Purchasing these DVDs is the best way to show fan support.
