| Synopsis:
An elite military unit (SG-1) must flee back to Earth when two members of their team inexplicably disappear into thin air. But they return to a world in which the Stargate - an Ancient device which allows them to travel to hundreds of planets - was never discovered, and their own history has been erased. Now they must convince a dubious government and military that the timeline was altered by a powerful Alien enemy (Ba'al) in order to conquer Earth, and time is not on their side... |

 Another Excellent Stargate Movie! December 27, 2008
N. Collins (Guthrie, OK United States)
I have been a longtime Stargate fan, and this movie is no disappointment. It is a fun movie and typical of the Stargate series, lots of funny lines mixed into the dialog. Also typical of Stargate, lots of action. I really enjoyed the movie! I am glad I added it to my Stargate collection!
Kids loved it! December 16, 2008
Dottie Siroky (Roy MT)
The kids like the show on sci-fi so we got the movie. They like it too.

I haven't had a late or mis-directed purchase from Amazon as of yet. Keep up the good work. The products I purchased were exactly as touted. New, Unopened, Factory sealed, NON-Imports. Some of my recent purchases are Christmas gifts but I'm confident they will play without any problems.
Excellent story, great capstone for SG-1 series December 13, 2008
Charlie (USA)
Continuum was the better Stargate SG-1 movie because of a more original story. Nonetheless, time travel was done multiple times throughout the SG-1 series but it has always intrigued me. The Layman's Guide to Time Travel segment was rather enjoyable as an actual Astrophysicist describes some of the fundamental concepts behind time travel and the use of Einstein-Rosen bridges (aka wormholes). The Grandfather paradox also played a short role in the film, but many questions were still left unanswered although the viewer can assume the path of events (namely Mitchell's return to 1939 and how the other Mitchell figures out the events at the end of the movie). It was an excellent Stargate movie but the overall feel still seemed like a long series finale rather than a motion picture caliber film. I suppose it is necessary to keep the budget down and I would still recommend SG-1 fans watch Continuum because it wraps up everything quite nicely and a LOT of the old characters make a reappearance.
In My World of Stargate Continuum December 12, 2008
Thomas J. Herring (Portland, OR)
It was a great deal and easy to order using Amazon. The seller was fast, the package was secured, and more important, I was happy when I got it. Once it arrived, I took it out of the package and popped it in the DVD player. When I heard the opening theme, I was in sci-fi heaven. I love Stargate SG1 and was sad to see it go. I am now starting my collection of the series since there are a lot of episodes I've never gotten to see. For me, I like watching the behind the scenes portion. I write screenplays myself and so I learn a lot from the director's and actor's point of view. If you're not into that stuff, it's still a kick to watch! I can even deal with the historical babble that Daniel rattles off. Enjoy the ride!
