Blasting off where the Sci-Fi Channelâ??s longest running show, Stargate SG-1, left off, this thrilling feature thrusts the Stargate team â?" Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), Vala (Claudia Black), Tealâ??c (Christopher Judge), Sam (Amanda Tapping) and Cam (Ben Browder) â?" into their biggest challenge yet. In search of an Ancient artifact they hope can defeat the oppressive Ori, the team not only learns that the Ori are set to launch a final assault on Earth, but a double-crossing I.O. operative is aboard the Odyssey! Also starring Beau Bridges, this pulse-pounder is loaded with enough suspense, humor and action to fill a galaxy!

Summary: Old-school SG1
Comment: SG1 will never win major awards however it does deliver to its fan base which in the end is what it is all about. In this particular installment the Ori (the guys with snakes in their chests have been wiped out if you haven't been keeping up) are regrouping for a major offensive and it is up to SG1 to take a stand against them.
Overall-Great for what it is a few good oneliners and our old friends the replicators even have a cameo.

Summary: The kids love it!!
Comment: They liked the tv show so I got the movie for 'em. They like it too.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great end to the Ori story
Comment: I felt The Ark of Truth was a great finale to the Ori storyline, however the movie was too short and seemed like a long season finale rather than a motion picture caliber movie. The acting was top of the line Stargate SG-1 fare but I wasn't impressed with the use of replicators as a catalyst in the story. The "Terminator" also made it more cheesy because the replicators could have just made multiple Terminators without the need for human tissue. Why stay in a crab-like form all the time? It is in my humblest opinion that Continuum was a much more polished story, primarily because The Ark of Truth was a quick finish to the Ori storyline. For the Trekkies, the actual Ark of Truth was really an "Adjust the Heisenburg" matrix style solution to a problem. I highly recommend watching The Ark of Truth just so you get closure for SG-1 prior to Sci-Fi's cancellation of the series.

Summary: Why end the series?
Comment: This was a nice enough continuation of the series but seems to lack some of the polish one would equate with a film. Granted there is more time designated for plot evolution and a bigger budget for effects but it lacked the 'wow' factor.
That said, I enjoyed the plot, the effects, the fact there weren't commercials and that Jack O'Neill was back with the group (you can't ever have enough pithy humor or cake!). It was well worth the cost of admission for a dedicated SG1 fan.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Like A Good Extended Episode of SG1- Recommended!
Comment: "Stargate - Ark of Truth" feels like an extended episode of Stargate SG1, wrapping up the plot line of what some folks have called "The Ori Quagmire".
No spoilers from me, but you get pretty much what is expected including great special effects, a lot of action, close calls, and Teal'c being ever so... well Teal'c like :-)
It is a good wrap-up to the outstanding series Stargate SG-1 - The Complete Series Collection, and I also recommend Stargate: Continuum for those that want a little more.
Highly recommended for Stargate SG1 fans!
