I've read a couple of posts here about the new movie. What I want to
know basically is, does it provide an impossible solution to the Ori, or
is it just a long episode in which the team once again have to deal with
what the writers got them into: a no-win situation?

Seriously, I could tell part way through the tenth season that the
show would have to end. You cannot create a virtually omnipotent
villian, impervious to Merlin's weapon, supported by Adria, who is now
ascended, and vastly superior in everything they produce, ships,
weapons, soldiers, etc. to anything anyone in earth's galaxy has, and
expect to be able to support a plot line.

Oh, I just thought of something. Does the new movie take place past
the final episode of season 10 or is it set within the time line of
seasons 9 and 10? Thanks.

The movie is basically a condensed ending to the series which they didn't
get to tell in Season 11. While it can act as a closure of the show, it was
also left open enough for possible movies to be made in the future. It is
worth seeing if you want to know how the Ori arc ends but if it is worth
buying I cannot say. I don't think the latter seasons are worth buying but
if buying or renting the movie was the only way how to see it then I would
do that.

The movie follows after the last episode of the show, 1020.

I think it is probably worth buying if only to make a feeble attempt to
encourage the Stargate franchise to make more of them and keep the story
alive.

It is an entertaining conclusion to the Ori saga that presents a
plausible, albeit convenient solution.

Indeed, this is an impossible situation to win from the perspective of a
race such as the Asgard, who are focused on the narrow tunnel vision of
a certain frame of reference. However, I think the movie managed to
entertain me in part because it managed to play enough on what makes
stargate fun that it was worth it. Specifically, the humans have never
been particularly advanced, that's not their strong suit. Rather, their
creativity, exploration and curiosity give them their own kind of edge.
They're diverse, versatile, and tenacious. :-) So, yes, I think that the
movie is worth it, and doesn't make you stretch too far.

It wraps it up. If you've seen all the shows, it's worth seeing. If
you own all the shows, it's worth buying. It completes the set. At
least to date. :)

Its a typical stargate solution ;)

And its essentially an overlong episode.

Sure you can - you do what they have done all along.

Dont really understand. The movie should be on TV, so you dont have to buy
anything. If you are a collector of DVD's and have all the other SG DVD's,
then you'd be mad not to buy the movie.

Is it worth watching? Well, if you have watched all 10 seasons, I cant see
how its not worth watching. Its no worse than the last 2 seasons, so if you
got this far, I cant see a reason not to watch the movie.

Sure I think the movie is incredibly poor and weak, and much of it is
utterly pointless, but it does tie up the Ori plot. And I suppose thats the
point of it. So it does do what it says on the tin.

Personally, I say download it. Its not worth the money and frankly I would
want to encourage them to make more of these movies. I bet the next movie
will be just as awful, but every one will dig it simply because RDA will be
in it. If they want to continue the SG thing, then they need to leave it 5
years or so, get a whole new crew and dream up a whole new direction. They
have flogged this dead horse enough now.

I just watched the ark of truth on DVD and as I have seen the .avi version
in my opinion it was worth purchasing mainly for the ending of the story arc
of the ori also especially for the comic com convention that they added to
the DVD as a extra .

For the very First time I saw Most of the Characters as Themselves , and
that I haven't seen on any of the 10 seasons I have on DVD !

I enjoyed the show, but it was so over the top that it was unbelievable.
This was because there was a bad guy who reintroduced the replicators.
After several hundred thousand rounds of heavy artillery have been fired
around *their spaceship* without doing any damage to the ship, one has
to say "What?" And then the replicators are suddenly defeated in some
move I missed - but I can watch it again one day.

The rest of it was more "believable", but would have been a lot shorter.
