Hallowed are the Orii
Stargate the Ark of Truth has now been out for a few days and we’ve finally got the chance to watch it.
The Ark of Truth is a decent movie. It’s not WOW, it’s not fantastic. It’s not better than an average episode of Stargate Atlantis.
The movie plods along a bit, with Teal’c spending a whack of timing walking…
There are no great battles…I would have thought that with extra time/budget we could’ve seen a full all out battle with the actual Orii ship armada with the Earth and its allies..but no such luck.
We get a few Orii ships shooting at the Odyssey but that’s about it.
and what about Adria?? COME ON! She had a bit role that was way to minimal.
Sure bringing replicators back into the mix was kinda neat, and yes it was cool to see the end of the Orii story line BUT
MGM did not do everything it could have with this movie which really wasn’t more than we would get in a typical episode (and in fact in many respects we got less).
Let’s hope that the next Stargate movie has MORE (ships, special effects, drama and plot).
I think there could have been more to it myself, but I still found it thoroughly enjoyable. I guess I just miss the show and the old cast, plus the closure it gave was certainly necessary. Continuum is supposed to rock our socks off though. Can’t wait for July.
