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

 Closure on the ori - sort of, but fun none the less September 5, 2008
Nice to see the television show move on beyond the series. I hope there are many more DVD like this from the stargate crew. So many gates so little time... :-) Happy for a bit of closure on the ori arc.
 Well done, but not as special as it could have been. September 2, 2008
SPOILERS. This story wraps up the Ori story line much like how they did Goa'uld one, so it isn't that clever, but it is fun and well done. Similar to Continuum and the show in general, the Stargate stories end in the destruction of all of the bad guys. It would be good to see something a bit different. I give it 3 stars because it is worth the money I think, but it could be better or have done more.
 The Ark of Truth September 1, 2008
As an avid Stargate fan, this movie was right up there with the entire series of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. If more films like this come out, I definitely will purchase it.
Nothing special August 31, 2008
It was nice to have a little more SG-1 to watch, but otherwise this movie is unimpressive. Predictable plot, and out of character behavior by the principles made it a bit Ho-hum.
Borrow it, don't buy it.
A great wrap up for the Ori August 28, 2008
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
