Review of Stargate: The Ark of Truth (2008) by James C — 24 Aug 2012

The SG-1 team travel to a distant galaxy in search of an ancient artifact that is fabled to have the power to destroy the Ori once and for all.

After 10 seasons, the Stargate SG-1 TV show finally came to an end, but there were some plots there were never resolved and this movie seeks to bring them all to a logical conclusion. With a running time that is slightly longer than a double length episode, you are presented with a very solid and enjoyable storyline that keeps you interested all the way through. There is no sense of the story dragging and the return of one of their older foes is welcome, even though at times it does feel like it has been shoehorned in to give the story a little bit of action to counterpoint the more character driven thrust of the main plot. All the final season's cast return to reprise their roles and there is no hint of jadedness in their portrayals. All in all this is a fine movie and it makes a very good job of completing the final story arc.
