Amazon.co.uk Review
A feature-length adventure that bases itself around the universe of IStargate SG-1/I, IContinuum/I makes the most of the increased budget clearly available, and serves up a hugely enjoyable, action-packed slice of science-fiction that makes you wish they?d all hurry up and make the next instalment. P IStargate: Continuum/I follows on from the earlier feature-length IThe Ark Of Truth/I, and it focuses on a staple storyline of science fiction television, the alternate timeline. In this instance, it?s an Earth where the Stargate simply hasn?t been discovered, and nobody has any knowledge of the crew?s adventures. p Wisely using this story mechanic as a basis rather than the main thrust of IStargate: Continuum/I, the action soon focuses on a well-realised attempt by the Ba?al to conquer Earth. It?s exciting stuff, and while the credits arguably roll a little too early, it?s very welcome work from the ISG-1/I favourites that builds up to a strong outing for all concerned. And in the midst of them is the returning Richard Dean Anderson as O?Neill, and very welcome he is too. p IStargate: Continuum/I makes good use of both the extended running time that a feature offers, as well as the extra resources that were clearly available in front of and behind the camera. It?s inevitably going to be enjoyed most of all by ISG-1/I?s fanbase, but there?s plenty in here too for the casual science-fiction enthusiast. --IJon Foster/I

5 out of 5 stars now this is more like it!!   October 18, 2008
after the dissapointing ark of truth, and finishing off the ori storyline left over from the end of the stargate sg1 tv series, stargate goes back to basics, with a fun action adventure. the cast are as good as ever, it's action packed, and it's good to see richard dean anderson again, though sadly this is the late don s davis' last performance as general hammond, a great charactor, and a terrific actor too, don s davis will be missed by sg1 fans and it's a fitting tribute, though it is set in an alternate timeline, so it's not the general hammond we all know and love. baal was always good fun in the show, and it's good to see him up to his old tricks. if there are to be any more movies, let's hope they're as enjoyable as this. great fun!


4 out of 5 stars Exclusive UK content - avoid it...   October 3, 2008

I just want to tell everyone that the code slip provided within the DVD case is of particularly tasteless scam to collect marketing info (your contact, gender, age etc. details). What you find in the web site after relinquishing the info is shoddy 3-level flash game for kids and material that could be descibed best as marketing material... which is pointless since you already bought the product. (And for reasons unclear to me, you are apparently only allowed 4 logins to this sub-par pile of flash adverts. What on earth is that all about?)br /br /If you do want to see that yourself, I recommend giving bogus information. They scam you, the least you can do is scam them back ;)br /br /The above has no bearing on my opinion of the movie itself. It was a good story and the additional budget shows in the imagery and number of scenes. But it still felt like extended episode, and not really quite a "movie". The fact that the story was again about timeline(s) and how in the end everything is set right, leaving the characters in the original time line none the wiser about it, does leave you with somewhat empty feeling (that is, if you experienced this with similar stories).br /br /If I were to compare this to The Ark of Truth, I would have to say that The Ark movie was a better viewing experience and far more interesting story to tell.


2 out of 5 stars Sorry but not this time around   September 20, 2008

I did'nt expect this to be as good as the original film. But it has turned out to be a bit of a no, no. The script is, well wooden like watching slowly drying paint. Only the split screen scene was up to scratch, with very good sound steering between segments on voices which was of demonstration quality. However it struck me throughout this film that the effects soundtrack was balanced in favior of the right hand channels. (I was using Hi-End equipment correctly set up). Overall not a complete success, but no doubt it will please "Stargate" fans no matter what. Sorry guys, this is not upto true Holiwood standards.


5 out of 5 stars classic Stargate - DVD comes also with German and Spanish sound track   September 2, 2008

Apart from the standard problems (paradox) with time travel this film should be a blast for any Stargate fan.br /br /Fuer deutsche Fans: diese DVD hat eine deutsche Tonspur (und eine Englische und Spanische), man kann die DVD also auch auf Deutsch geniessen und muss nicht den deutschen DVD Starttermin abwarten.
