Product Description
-------------------
This second feature-length film based in the STARGATE SG-1
universe, a follow-up to STARGATE: THE ARK THE TRUTH, finds the
SG-1 crew attending the execution of the nefarious Ba'al, the
supposed final System Lord of the galaxies-spanning dominant
alien race Goa'uld. When Teal'c and Vala suddenly evaporate into
thin air, however, the rest of the crew heads back to Earth as
quickly as possible in hopes to get to the bottom of their
bizarre disappearances. What they find is worse than they could
have ever imagined. A world in which the Stargate was never
discovered awaits them, thus negating much of their own history
and personal pasts. Before they can convince the that
not only did this time-tampering occur, but that it is the
handiwork of Baal, hundreds of Gould ships line Earth's orbit.

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 grandher
too? Yo, Stargate: Continuum rocks! --Sam Graham
