The new Stargate movie, The Ark of Truth is out. Watching it makes me long for the series to still be in production.

The Ark of Truth continues the SG-1 versus the Ori plotline, actually bringing it to an apparent closure. The premise of The Ark of Truth is a search for an artifact that is reportly able to show the truth about the Ori. The key is for SG-1 to not only find the artifact but also to get one of the Priors to look at it. Along the way, SG-1 battles an enhanced Replicator which was brought on board the ship, actually produced on board, by an IOA agent.

For those among us who are fans of the Stargate series, both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, the movie will not disappoint. It's everything like the SG-1 you've come to love, sans Richard Dean Anderson, Don S. Davis, and other semi-regulars from the original series. The main difference I noticed was that everything was done bigger. Bigger music, bigger explosions, bigger sets, more like a movie than just a two-part episode.

Now if only there was a week between episodes instead of months. I just hope there's another movie planned after Continuum.
