This is the single worst quality blu-ray I have seen yet.

The movie was ok, as much as a let down as 200 was, but at least it was ok.Blu-ray on a decent TV makes this thing look like utter and complete crap.I returned it to the store to get the DVD because at least that doesn't look as bad.The lack of quality on the picture makes me ashamed to be a fan.

A Stargate Movie

My thoughts on this are really simple. Go to Google and type in "SG-1 Movie Sneak Peak". Watch it. That's all you'll need to know. I sat through this DVD when the lights were out during Gustav. We'd been without power for three days and watched it from a laptop computer. The whole family loves Stargate and we were desperate for entertainment.During the movie...We. Were. Bored. To. Tears. I actually stopped watching at one point. Since I post my reviews on Amazon, I have to give it something. One out of five and again, that's only because I have to cough up something.

Another Great Stargate Story

This review is from: Stargate: Continuum (DVD) I am a Stargate fan and this was a great CD. I knew what I was ordering and received my CD in record time. I look forward to more and will certainly order again. Janette

Excellent continuation

An excellent continuation of the series, the story line and plot feel very much like an episode of the series, with slightly expanded scope. A few CGI scenes seemed to stand out more, but that might just be the clarity of the DVD and did not impact my enjoyment in the least.In short if you enjoyed to series, you should enjoy this DVD.

Disappointed

This review is from: Stargate: Continuum (DVD) I am sure the story is fine, but the disk is imperfect, lost my packing slip and need to call to return it.

TERRIFIC SG1 movie - made me want more - with all characters

This movie was SO enjoyable. I just wish it could have been longer -there could have been more fun/funny things happening for the year theywere all in limbo. Plus it would have been great to have Jack in muchmore of the movie, although I presume Richard Dean Anderson didn't wantto do that. I love the writing for Jack's witty sarcasm. I realizedwith great nostalgia, how much I MISSED this show (with thesecharacters - so liked them all). I have always missed the "Jack" humorsince he left the show - so liked the little laughs from his lines. Thewriting was terrific - action-packed and a good story line. I liked thebigger budget effects. I think Ba'al is a fun bad guy. If you were aStargate SG-1 fan, you will have a very good time with this movie - andit WILL be over WAY too soon. I wish the $ people would decide to do afew more (maybe could film 2 at a time) - if they can be this cleverand well-written AND with the full cast (even though they'd have tofilm around everyone's schedules).

A pity it's a tired old 'Time' plot though...

Be warned, there are Spoilers contained below regarding plot device ofContinuum and commenting on plot device of some episodes of the series,including the series finale.OK it's great to have another installment of Stargate SG1, Ark of Truthnicely tied off the Ori plot line and we do get to see lots of oldiebut goody characters make a return in Continuum but this is easily the3rd and probably 4th/5th time that the good old 'Time' plot gets rolledout. You know what I mean, the old 'go back in Time to fight/fix whatever isgoing wrong' nugget.I mean I understand that writers run out of ideas over 10 seasons ofStargate but come on, again with the 'Time' plot?Overall though, it was another Stargate movie to watch and I dutifullywatched it and by and large enjoyed it, mostly for seeing a parade ofold characters pass by.If there is a 3rd movie let's hope they've shut the door on the Timeplot device and thrown away the key and give us something fresh?

Terrific old-school story

This rocked. O'Neill? Check. The cool President? Check. Sexy Vala? Oh, yeah. This was a refreshing break from the philosophy/religion themes of the Ori storyline.

Nowhere near as good as the first Stargate movie

This review is from: Stargate: Continuum [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) When we viewed the blu-ray release of the original StarGate Movie....we "had to watch it again" as well as the extras."It was so good"!Having missed the Stargate TV series and the second Stargate Movie we found that "Continuum" had almost an entirely new line-up of characters. Mr Bridges was back as the all knowing General though, but that's about all.Made only for DVD and relying on special effects did not result in a good movie...The Stargate Continuum movie we ordered from Amazon dot com still has to arrive at our house in Bandung Java. We watched it on BluRay hired from a local video DVD shop......and it is hoped this is pure co-incidence. Amazon US's customer care center tells us that both the Stargate Continuum order and another for 3 standard DVD's were shipped via DPGM (most likely Deutsche Post) and that the problem might be with the Indonesian Postal service. Considering we've never had a problem with the local labour intensive Indonesian postal people, I'd be of the opinion that there has been a gltich somewhere else. DVD's ordered via Amazon.co.uk arrive at our place within days from the United Kingdom. We've given it another try for some more blu-rays....fingers crossed I hope these will get here without "going missing".Amazon in the US and UK have great web-sites and good service...let's hope those who are entrusted with delivieries will keep their act "clean"!Stephen J FleayBandung Java Indonesiaformer correspondent for CBS/BBCfavenchi@yahoo.com

great item

SG1 Continuum, is a great movie. The CGI is flawless and over all a great movie. I hope it isn't the last MGM does.

Borrow, don't buy!

This review is from: Stargate: Continuum (DVD) A very predictable thrown-together movie to make a few more bucks from an otherwise outstanding series. Better than "Ark of Truth",but not much.

Stargate: Continuum is beautifully written

Having been a huge fan of Stargate when Richard Dean Anderson was still involved, I loved the return to classic Stargate battle to save Earth from the Goulds. I wasn't a fan of the Ark of Truth--and was hesitant to watch Continuum. I am very glad I did. There were many beautifully written scenes throughout, Landry's speech, Daniels attempting to contact himself, the President, the full lineup of the classic Goulds of the past, including Apophus and Ra (from the Stargate movie). What a treat!

Stargate Continuum

This movie was amazing! The graphics were really well done and the plot while somewhat hair-raising in the beginning tied everything up neatly. I was very impressed with this and hope there will be more to come.

stargate sg1 continuum

If you like sg-1 and the adventures dealing with time travel, this movie is quite enjoyable. Yes, some of the old sequences are there (Teal'c as first prime but wants to be free), but, new twists with Vala and Ba'al. The story still leaves open the idea that other Goaul'd may be around, but the last major god has been vanquished.

Worst Alternate Idea

This review is from: Stargate: Continuum (DVD) This is the latest in the stargate movies, the plot is that the stargate has captured their most dangerous enemy and they are preparing the trial for the crimes committed, however he tells things will change, somehow he manages to change the time when the stargate was not found and the team was not formed as we all know.While the idea is very good, I'm sorry to say the movie was profoundly very tedious, not as exciting as I hoped. So if you want alternate universes please check Star Trek Deep Space Nine or the books in which the idea is used. As this movie Sorry Stargate fans it is not worth it.

Surprise twist in the Stargate genre.

The Movie's plot was not what I expected. I bought the movie since I seen and have every season of Stargate. I expected it to give closure to the series and give sense that the characters will continue with a better life. I never expected the twists that occur in the movie and that Bal having such a unique role in the movie. I really enjoyed the movie. I think that I would have even if I did not have all 10 seasons. I recommend this movie for anyone who likes Science Fiction or just wants to see a good movie.

Much better than the "Ark"

Pros: 1. This tied up things nicely through the plot so we don't haveto look for some of the tired old goauld's running through the seasonsanymore. 2. The old cast is back to a large degree. 3. Fills Sci-Fi gapthat seems to have opened in the entertainment industry. 4. Has plentyof "woah ho ho ho! Look at that!" moments 5. Keeps a good healthy paceCons: 1. There are several points where the characters just let thingsgo (as mentioned in the other reviews) and it lends a feeling that thewriter was red-pen marking things out just to fit a time constraint. 2.There's a new and over-the-top addition of swearing to the movie, whichwe could have done without. I watched this with my 10 year old, an avidSG1 fan, and had to stop partway through. It didn't add anything, evenangst, to the movie. 3. The ending was anti-climactic and tied up alittle too fast. 4. Tealc has hair.Overall I think casual fans like myself will love this addition, whilehardcore fans will blow it off as just another milking of the cash cow.There's a palpable dearth of good sci-fi programs on anymore (cry) andthis really hit the spot. RIP Don Davis, btw.
