Editorial Review:
Baal travels back in time and prevents the Stargate program from ever being started. SG-1 team must somehow restore history and once again save the galaxy from oppressive domination.
Description of Stargate: Continuum [Blu-ray]:
If Continuum, the second feature length, made-for-DVD film spun off from the long-running Stargate SG-1 television series, marks the end of this wing of the franchise--and it is hardly a certainty, given the show’s Lazarus-like history--then all involved, including the viewer, should be well satisfied. Continuum commingles all the elements that have made Stargate so eminently watchable over the years, including engaging characters and storyline, plenty of action, impressive sets, and first-rate special effects. This time the whole gang is on hand, as the most recent SG-1 contigent (Ben Browder as fearless leader Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell, Amanda Tapping as the brainy 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, motor-mouthed Vala) is joined by characters whose roles had been reduced or eliminated along the way; principal among the latter is Richard Dean Anderson, whose Major General Jack O’Neill makes a welcome return after sitting out The Ark of Truth, the first post-series film (both of Stargate Command’s head honchos, played by Beau Bridges and the late Don S. Davis, are also back). The villain is familiar as well: Ba’al (Cliff Simon), the last of the "Goa’uld system lords," who’s scheduled to be executed--or, more specifically, "extracted," whereby the bad mojo inside him will be exorcised. Things don’t quite go as planned, of course. Ba’al has managed to manipulate time, creating a situation where Mitchell, Jackson, and Carter find themselves caught in a paradox, an alternate timeline in which the Stargate program never even existed, making it easy for the bad guy and his gigantic space brigade to launch an all-out attack on Earth (though long-threatened throughout the series, such an invasion never actually happened until now). Our heroes’ intrepid efforts to thwart Ba’al’s dastardly scheme take them from the Arctic (for real) to the cockpits of F-15 jets and even the hold of a 1930s cargo ship (built specially for the occasion). All this, and Browder portraying his own grandfather too? Yo, Stargate: Continuum rocks! --Sam Graham

just soo great! 
2009-07-12 - Is like a time warp thing :)
I am sad to see the show end, but this is a great way to do it.
We need MORE!!! 
2009-07-11 - As a big fan of all SG, I could easily give this a 5 stars! But my negative point is I don't just want to see this part, I want to see it all in Blu-ray! And now, they come out with The Pilot for SG1 remastered, etc. and not even on Blu-ray???
They should at least do like Star Trek did, the movies yes, but also "so far" Season 1 of TOS and already planned to have the 2 other seasons come out in a couple of months... this gives hope to get all Star Trek in Blu-ray.
Hopefully, by the time Stargate Atlantis "Fans Choice" comes out... maybe SG-1 season 1?
Stargate; Continuum 
2009-07-10 - I was looking forward to seeing this next Stargate movie after seeing the very well made conclusion movie "Ark of Truth".
Unfortunately as some have already pointed out, it was a disappointment. Others have already touched on the mediocre story and predictable "coincidences". I haven't read through all of the reviews so maybe someone has mentioned this problem. Basically the sound on the actors is horrible. It's as though they ran out of money so they couldn't afford to overdub the actors voices and simply went with the sound that was recorded in the scene no matter how bad it was, ie; reverb, echos, barely audible, etc. I gave it 3 stars just because I love Stargate and the actors, but it's sad to think they are ending these adventures with this substandard last entry.
Stargate SG-1 
2009-07-05 - As always stargate doesn't disappoint. I was very sad to see it end and these movies for dvd are just the thing to lessen the blow. Excellent acting from all my favorite characters.
Great Movie 
2009-06-15 - this is an awsome movie involving the Goa'uld. it's long and worth purchasing. it keeps you interested on how SG-1 will solve their next problem in the movie until it all wraps up near the end. i would highly recommend purchasing this product.
