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

- Old plots with very little action.
Not for my taste. "Stargate: Continuum" has a very old plot that has been reused over and over again in both "Stargate SG-1" as well as in sci-fi stories in general. The first half is lacking in action, and you don't see much of O'Neill in this one. He shows up in the first few minutes of the film and the last few, but that's it. And the story is lacking in structure. The second half of the movie wasn't that bad, but still not worth wasting your money on.
Not recommended!

- Stargate Contuium
I have always love the Stargate Series, both of them, and was disappointed when they were cancelled, but at least we had the movies. I would like to see another Stargate movie made. I have both series on DVD and watch them all the time and both movies.
Rating: - A Good Send-Off for SG-1
The ending of Stargate SG-1's 8th Season was the end of an era. Aside from the departure of Richard Dean Anderson (General O'Neill), it marked the climax of the story-arc that had begun in the original film and driven the series for 8 years: the Earth-Goa'uld War. The team had finally attained its goals, with the the deaths of the System Lords and the collapse of the Goa'uld Empire. The position of main antagonist was filled by the evangelical and all-powerful Ori for the final two seasons and the ... Read More
Rating: - Contine with Continum
This was a great continuation story.I love that they are going on like nothing is wrong, and that life continued. So many series kill off or rap things up so it makes it tough to see what would happen next.I have to admit IM jones for more SG1, and this was a great way to calm my jitters for a week or so. the story is a time traveling story line, which in true SG-1 fasion finally puts Ben Broder in to play.Jack also makes an apperance so it was good to see him.
Rating: - Just the name Stargate means the best.
One of the best series of all times. I'm speechless and overwhelmed, what can you say about the best.
