For those familiar with the SG1 series (particularly seasons 9 & 10) The Ark of Truth is highly recommended. No major surprises, but it was carried off very well. Finally, the resolution of the story is what they've been setting up for the last two years of the series.

This was made for the fans who weren't happy about the Sci-Fi channel cancelling the show in a cost cutting move, and as one of those fans I am very glad they made this movie. This was made for the fans who have been following the show for the last decade. Clearly, though, this was not made to win over new fans. Paring it down and eliminating one of those subplots might have made the movie a little better (Sam and Teal'c don't get quite enough to do in the movie as a result), but as it is I still think it's a damned entertaining movie - as long as you've watched the last 10 years of SG1. The only gripe I had about it was that they threw in everything but the kitchen sink (all of the prerequisite SG1 subplots were there). As for the special effects, I thought they were excellent (not $100 million budget excellent, but for a straight to DVD movie based on a cancelled TV series they were fantastic). The actors continued to do what they do with these characters (which is a good thing), and the action was very good (although they've done better before). The Ark of Truth was well written and directed, and felt like a direct continuation of season 10. The Ark of Truth was the kind of satisfying finale to season 10 that I was hoping for.
