I'm pretty sure they come out in 2008, so you'll have to wait a bit.

The question which once haunted my being has been answered. The future is not fixed, and my choices are my own... and yet, how ironic! For I now find, I have no choice at all! I am warrior... let the battle be joined.-Dinobot-Code of Hero
Yeah weren't they suppose to come out fall of 2007 , what happened there ? Why does MGM let this happen ?
If I'm not mistaken, one of the main reasons was they were really taking their time in post-production on these films. They want these to look as good as they possibly can.

They gave the reasons I think that they wanted more time in post for all the effects, while they also wanted more time to promote it.
The problem with the 2008 stuff is that they most likely will be the only SG-1 seen all years. It'll be 2009 before any further movies come out. They finished shooting S10 in 2006. Yet come 2009 if they put out 2 movies per year there will only have been 6-8 hours worth of content for the fans to have seen in all that time. However they'll charge a fortune for each DVD movie.
The very least they could have done was release 'Ark of Truth' before christmas or new year to give the fans a little bit of something to cheer. Do 'Continuum' around summer 2008, that leaves them the time they spent on it so far & almost a year to promote & post it. Then chuck out another one before the end of the year & continue along that route.
That's exactly how I feel about it. I really feel that these two movies will end up being well worth the long wait.
Sorry but I don't agree with that sentiment. It's impossible to wrap up 2 seasons of a new uber enemy within the space of 1 1/2 - 2 hours & do justice to the past 2 years worth of programming. Have one ascend, then all these ships that's left in the MW. As well as the Doci in their home galaxy. Yet we know they'll use another 'magic' device pulled out from nowhere to save the day right at the end.
Can't say I'm looking forward to yet another Ba'al storyline myself considering he's been done to death already [pardon the pun] with the whole clone after clone after clone thing. Then they do 'Moebius' where they get to go back in time & fix everything back to the way it was.
I'd much rather they done a movie about the Aschen, Furlings, 'Grace Alien's or whomever something the fans haven't seen or heard in a while. Heck even do one about Ra or Apophis if they had to do time travel, at least they haven't been seen for a few years so would be a little more 'fresh'. Whereas Ba'al was heavily involved in all the latest seasons. Guess the only saving grave about it is they'll most likely finally kill him off once & for all.
I'm just worried about how delaying Continuum is going to affect things...
Continuum takes place before SGA season 4, yet it will be released around the start of SGA season 5. We'll be watching a movie of events that take place over a year prior. Will the next movie after that skip ahead a year? How do they hope to manage for it all to make sense?
I just hope TPTB does a good job with the story. It's not going to matter how good the effect are if the story does not work. SG-1 was not built on great special effects.

I will agree with you on the fact that "ARK of TRUTH" Should have been released before Christmas . But the second one should be released by FEB or MARCH of 2008 , this would let them get to a good point where they could still film two MOVIES a year , and still release two movies a year . It would have at the least made me happy , LOL ....

Yes i do feel the same as you , the whole going back in time thing has been done on a BIG scale already . They could have done something better for the second MOVIE , I under stand they want to tie up things with some of the bad guys in SG-1 . But they could have done something different .
I would have loved to have seen them introduce a NEW GOA'ULD that might have traveled to another galaxy that he has took over and enslaved all the life as his own . He has now come home to take over the Milky Way galaxy . On returning he encounters Ba'al . Ba'al explains what has come of the Milky Way galaxy , and tells this power Goa'uld that in the time he's been going all the goa'uld have been hunted and over taken by a planet named Earth . This New Goa'uld could be some power god in history that we haven't encounter yet or have heard of yet . This person would have to be ome one as powerful as Odin or even Zeus . Some one that hasn't been heard of or seen like that .

In an interview, Amanda Tapping said that the movies had a grander scale to them than the series. I think that the movies are going to be on par with the major summer movies only on DVD. I am hoping that they release the ARK OF TRUTH in winter and CONTINUM in the summer. I am eagerly awaiting the releases.
