STARGATE THE ARK OF TRUTH (DVD Review) - 9/3/08

"It was okay!" is what I can say about the first of the 2 films produced by MGM Studios to tie up the loose threads from the final series (The tenth) of Stargate SG-1 after they cancelled it and decided not to run with an eleventh season. Always convenient to find a lost artifact millions of years old just in the right place when you need it when it usually takes an entire season to find? Feeling like any other episode it just pulls together some bits and pieces and ends off the long-running Ori storyline. Unfortunately it doesn't feel like a movie (That they sold on DVD only first) and even adds some mediocre plot threads to pad it out. Nice to see that at least they bothered to finish off the story unlike other TV shows that ended on a cliff-hanger and were never resolved to the audience's satisfaction. Top notch SFX as always that we have come to expect from this series and a nice selection of Special Features which run with an opening prelude (More to play catch-up than anything else) and a nice Making Of Featurette that covers the film's Production. A Commentary plus a Comic-Con Spot and a handful of Trailers with the usual 5.1. Dolby Sound plus Dolby Surround in French/Spanish and Subtitles in English/Spanish. Widescreen Close Captioned Region 1 NTSC Not Rated. Colour 2008 - 102 Minutes Runtime. 883904102908.
