Stargate - The Ark Of Truth [2008]
£6.97
Kommt mit deutscher Tonspur - Zum Inhalt ist hier aus meiner Sicht schon genug gesagt worden. Für deutschsprachige Fans ist vielleicht interessant, dass sich auf dieser DVD auch eine deutsche Tonspur befindet. Ich persönlich brauche die nicht, aber da diese in den technischen Daten nicht genannt wird, íst das möglicherweise erwähnenswert.
A poor story stretched too far - I m a big fan of the SG1 series and indeed the movie that the series was based on, however like many SG1 fans I found the story line of the Ori a bit thin and whilst it managed to trundle to the 10th series without too much trouble this movie should never have been made.The story line was thin, I mean why include every possible bad guy in one movie? It felt like the writers/producers were sitting there saying how can we beef this up? I know, let s bring the replicators back (again)There were good parts...the actors did a good job, apart that guy from Ally McBeal...what were they thinking when they cast him???Sorry but I m going to rate this movie as a zero (not allowed in Amazon so therfore it has 1 star), I m hopeful that the other SG1 movie was better written and will even watch it when I get the chance.
fan exploitation - Basically its just like a normal episode, but longer, with, I thought, rather too many enemies to vanguish in one go. Being a big fan of the series, I watched every single episode ever, some of of them are very good and I watched them a few times. As a movie though, I didn t feel it was worth watching twice, you could watch it once though and it still is a lot better than a plenty of movies out there. However, I did feel the whole thing was simply put together for the money. which is fair enough I suppose, but should not be that obvious. Make me feel I bought a movie with something to say! Unfortunately - it did not.
What was it all about? - The reviews of this film didn t really make clear that you have to be a SG1 fan to understand it. Having watched the original 1994 film, and a few of the TV episodes, I thought this was going to be a complete thrilling adventure with a beginning, an end, and an explanation of what was going on. I still have no idea who the Ori are, why they need to be defeated, or what the ark of truth has to do with it, even though I ploughed on to the very end of the film.
Good but feels rushed, overall leaving you unenthused. - I am an immense Stargate nut and bought the DVD knowing it would be a part of my collection even if not so good....and that is the problem with reviewing a film like this, I was always going to like it.Pointless owning unless you are a complete fan, this brings nothing new to the table except a slightly higher budget and an attempt at a more epic feel.Comedy aspects and team dynamic are present with some excellent writing in particular scenes (Teal c discussing genocide in the name of false gods) as well as some decent action. Overall the film leaves you wanting more but something of much higher quality.From what I have seen, Stargate: Continuum (Released region 2 - Sep 08 ) will be the tester as to whether SG-1 lives on in DVD movie format.
