Stargate: Continuum (2008)

Best movie of this year hands down!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It took me 9 years to understand this movie. Recently read a summary on Wikipedia that gave me a piece of information that wasn't in the movie. Mitchell had to stow away for 10 years in his grandfathers ship in order to blow up Baals troupe and save the gate. Then he reappeared with all the "dead" cast for the ceremony. Was I supposed to guess that part? Anyway I have watched it many times and finally made sense of it. Loved it either way.

And I thought 'Dude Where's my Car' was bad. The first 30 minutes is music and one paragraph of talking. How in the hell did HBO put this on. 2nd worst movie ever.Please tell Jeff Bridges not to put a gun to his head and squeeze off, from his brother performance.MacGyver is in it too. Same smug character, It doesn't even relate to the series. Tapper's performance is OK. That's it.Ben Browder acting again is sub-par.I do like the fact that Hollywood has a sense of humor. This is a example to college students on how not to make a movie.

After watching the disappointing 'The Ark of Truth', I was very pleased they got back to basics with this movie.Very interesting time travel story. Lots of time travel stories end with the big reset button at the end, it was nice to see some thought put into this one and see the characters have to work to set things right.Fitting end to Stargate SG-1. Great action, some very nice character moments and it was nice to see the "whole" gang represented.The most important line in this movie, that sets this story apart from so many other time-travel movies is from the retired GEN Landry: "But you don't have the right! If you were to succeed, events in the lives of thousands, if not millions of people, would never have happened! (angry) My goodness,people! The arrogance of what you're asking us to help you do is mind-boggling!" Just when you think he'll come in and let SG-1 "fix" everything, he shows up - believe's them and stops them dead in their tracks.Then we see them foil Ball's plan, despite the efforts of the ever devious Quetesh.This movie depicts the very essence of Stargate SG-1.9 out of 10 for me.

Didn't they do this for the season 8 finally? I swear this is only slightly different Someone goes back in time changes the past to prevent the SGC from being created and the members of SG1 must come together anyway and save the day.I was a HUGE fan of the first 8 seasons of SG1 but when season 9 started and they totally dismissed the System Lord's as a threat and invented a totally lame new enemy, the Ori, then removed Jack O'Neil, one of the best correctors, the show went in to the toilet. This movie just drove in the final nail.I know this premise has been used in almost every Sci-fi show that has even one time travel episode.Here is more proof that there are new ideas in Hollywood. Find a new and original story line for goodness sake.
