Buy the DVD films!

[Stargater34]

The only reason i won't be buying this is if i'm dead... or it's bought for me.

Very well said.

Indeed, It should get up into the top 10 DVDs of the week its released

I'm buying two copies. One for me, and one for a friend in Canada. I also own seasons 9 & 10 (for a certain Cameron Mitchell). I just wish Continuum was released already, I really can't wait to see that one!

A heads up to anyone posting comments to this blog about The Ark of Truth. Yes, I’m aware an unfinished version found its way online and I thank you for bringing it to my attention. No, I will not be allowing any discussion on the contents of Ark of Truth until its official release. So any of you who may be privy to details or heard about details and wish to discuss them, here is not the place to do it. I will not publish your comments.

Now I realize a lot of you are hardcore fans and just dying to get a peek at the movie. The wait for the DVD release has no doubt been unbearable for many. And while I can’t stop you from downloading an illegal copy (hopefully the good people at MGM will see to that), I do wonder why anyone would want to spoil their enjoyment of the finished product by watching an early, incomplete version. It’s sort of like arriving half an hour early to pick up your first date and insisting you head out immediately. Hey, it would be nice to shower, shave, put on a nice suit, some cologne and, in general, look presentable. The hardcore fans will forgive a lot (and I’m probably referring to many of you reading this), but the casual fan and first-time viewer may well have their opinion of the movie (and, unfortunately, any future movies) unfairly tainted by an unfinished version. I remember when work-in-progress copies of Adrift and Lifeline hit the internet earlier this year. A number of fans expressed disappointment with the lack of sound and visual effects. In many cases, they even expressed regret at having watched the early versions as it colored their enjoyment of the episodes when they eventually aired. Again, I can’t stop you - but something to think about.

Also something to think about is the fact that while having an early version available online may seem like a good thing for Stargate fans anxiously awaiting the DVD’s release, it is a very, very bad thing for Stargate and could adversely impact the future of the franchise. I know, I know. You guys are huge fans and most of you will buy the DVD regardless. However, there are many fans and first-time viewers in particular who will not. And, bottom line: if the DVD sales are undermined by this early release, then that could well effect the possibility of future SG-1 movies.

To those of you complaining that this is exactly like the aforementioned Adrift and Lifeline situations or the early release of Doppelganger - No, it isn’t. In the case of Adrift and Lifeline, the version that found its way online could have been one of the hundreds of screeners sent out to critics all over North America. In the case of Doppelganger, iTunes mistakenly released a copy of the episode a week early. In the case of The Ark of Truth, however, it was someone in a position of trust (which is kind of sad). And, unlike, say, the hundreds of North American television critics and their family members, or the countless subscribers to iTunes, that “circle of trust” (apologies to Robert DeNiro’s Jack Byrnes) aint that big. Someone, either out of spite or simple sheer stupidity, stole a copy of the unfinished movie, pirated it, and put it online - essentially putting the future of SG-1 at risk - and there’s a good chance this individual will be caught. And when said jerk/idiot/criminal IS caught, here’s hoping they receive a good legal ass-kicking.

i have downloaded it and after viewing it i want the dvd even more.
and by the way it is an unfinished version.
in some scene you can see some of stuff to help them make certain stunts

[Promethius30]

I wont watch this i dont want to spoil one of the few sg1 moments in 2008 with a pirate version and i will buy the DVD to support the franchise any one that watches the pirate version and does get the DVD is not a stargate fan lets hope this wont effect the sales too much or the future of the sg1 movies and if the person who did this is caught should have legal action against them

[Egle01]

I'll buy both films! Not a doubt. It's the least I can do to keep SG-1 movies coming. Didn't know "AoT" has already leaked. I hope I'll resist watching it to have the best experience in March.

[Sp!der]

i will defenitley buy the two movies..and the next movies hopefully if they will made more of them.

[Platschu]

I hope the German version will have a Hungarian subtitle. I can dream only about dubbed version. I think it is a shame, that Polish, Czech, Serbian, Croatian, Slovakian, Romanian or Hungarian fans are not on the map. We need a Central-East European SG DVD. I hope they will release the AoT here at least.

This is bad though. There are people who wont bother buying it now. I'm not one of them but it really is bad. Many people here will buy it, but out there...it's really not good :/

I hope this doesn't happen with Continuum

Take a look at Amazon.com, The Ark of Truth sales rank (pre-orders) actually jumped very much during the weekend and today. The leak helped a lot of people to make a POSITIVE decision to buy the movie. Plus, let's hope Fox is going to organize really good promotion for the DVD, trailers in theaters and included in the other Fox's DVD titles. There's a huge chance for a completely new audience this way.
