Blasting off where the Sci-Fi Channel's longest running show, Stargate SG-1, left off, this thrilling feature thrusts the Stargate team - Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), Vala (Claudia Black), Teal'c (Christopher Judge), Sam (Amanda Tapping), and Cam (Ben Browder) - into the far reaches of space.In search of an Ancient artifact they hope can defeat the oppressive Ori, the team not only learns that the Ori are set to launch a final assault on Earth, but a double-crossing I.O. operative is aboard the Odyssey! Also starring Beau Bridges, this pulse-pounder is loaded with enough suspense, humor and action to fill a galaxy!
"As a finale to the Ori storyline, "Ark of Truth" hits the mark, and makes for a nice jumping off point to "Stargate: Continuum"..." TheSciFiBlog Movie Review
Editor's Note
Written and directed by Robert C. Cooper, this direct-to-video release concludes the STARGATE SG-1's ORI story. This release takes the place of the series' anticipated but cancelled 11th season, and is set chronologically before STARGATE ATLANTIS' 4th season. In this release, SG-1 tries to reclaim the Ark of Truth, which has the power to control people, and therefore, lead to total destruction.

There are elements of "Ark" that will appeal to longtime SG-1 fans, such as Vala's awkward reunion with Tomin (Tim Guinee), her "husband" from another galaxy; Mitchell finally gets to sit in "the chair"; Daniel continues to get help thanks to some timely visions of Merlin; and oh yeah, those pesky and really hard to kill Replicators make a major comeback...If you're a longtime fan of SG-1, then you should enjoy "Ark of Truth". It's a continuation of the series, and although it doesn't break any new grounds, or offer anything you haven't seen before in the series itself, it certainly has everything you've liked about the series, including interesting sci-fi threats, involving storylines, and great character interactions. Then again, if you aren't a fan of the Stargate universe to begin with, the movie will make no sense to you whatsoever...As a finale to the Ori storyline, "Ark of Truth" hits the mark, and makes for a nice jumping off point to "Stargate: Continuum", which I hear will have a completely different storyline. Also, there's a curious scene towards the end of "Ark" that makes you wonder what's happened to General O'Neill's supposed off-screen relationship with Sam Carter since Richard Dean Anderson left the show.
