• 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.

• 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.

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.

• Not bad, but a typical ploy for more cash
  As a big fan of SG, I admit I havnt enjoyed series 9-10 as much as I did the previous eight.

That rip off apart, the "film" was an ok extended episode rounding up loose ends, to be honest if I wasnt a fan it would only get 2 stars.
