'The Ark of Truth' General Discussion

[Celesto]

Spoiler:

...this film was more fighting the replis than finding the ark. it was cool, but not really new stuff.

Great movie, although it seemed short.. I like how they fought Replicaters, and the Ori in the same movie shouldn't that guy know that even if they program the shutoff code in the replicaters mainframe, they would of figured out how to overide it eventually, and there ya go you just made Ori Replicaters now..

the Ori? They were dead. This movie was a crap about replicators

I'm surprised there was no joke about "Top Men" at the end of the movie.

I don't get that. Please explain

The Adria/Morgan fight. It's been done. Two energy beings fight yada yada yada. Kosh vs Ulkesh in B5, Prophets vs Pagh Wraiths in DS9, Oma vs Anubis in SG-1... It was far too brief and far too unspectacular. I would have loved if Adria lost her followers and power and was forced to descend, then had the Ark used on HER.

I was really disappointed by how little Adria was in the movie. With all the history between she and Vala and Daniel there should have been more dialog between these characters.

Hmmm.. There is no new post after the TV premier. Has everybody bought the DVD earlier?

I don't think it's been shown on TV in the US yet, has it? But if it were being shown again on TV here in the UK I wouldn't watch it for 2 reasons -

1) I have it on DVD twice on Region 1 and 2 forms. I couldn't wait for the UK release so I got it early...which I now regret. But hindsight is 50/50 and that leads me nicely to reason 2...

2) The movie wasn't all that good IMHO. Had I known that, I really wouldn't have been impatient and got the R1 DVD edition imported to the UK and just waited for the R2 edition. But I suppose that I really should have known that because it continues and concludes the Ori storyline (which I didn't like) of Seasons 9 and 10 (both of which I also didn't like). I don't know *what* the hell I was thinking! Maybe I was just impatient and wanted to see Amanda Tapping again.

Yes it has. It aired on the Sci-Fi channel last night.

I don't really understand why this movie gets so much criticism. I loved it. Of course for those people who passionately despised season 9 and 10, I supposed I can understand why they didn't like it (as much as I ever understand the intense hatred lobbed at S9 and S10 ).

But really, it was probably better than almost any other two-part episode (except maybe the Quest, and Within the Serpent's Grasp/In the Serpent's Lair).

I'm not terribly fond of the Replicator storyline, but it was a good way to increase the sense of danger. And I genuinely like seeing Sam and Cam work together. The main plotline with the Ark was handled quite well, I thought. There are little moments of character development (Teal'c's wonderful scene with Tomin, Daniel's scene with Morgan, Vala and Adria's confrontation), and everyone plays a significant role. I love the final showdown with Adria and the way that Daniel, Teal'c, and Vala manage to communicate their plan with just a few glances. It's a nice teamwork moment. I'm also always impressed with Julian Sands and his brief role as the Doci. I go from despising him to actually feeling sorry for him, and it always leaves me considering the implications for the priors who have just lost everything they believed in. It's a powerful moment for me, and one that I find very thought-provoking.

I would have liked to see some things expanded (Daniel's visions, SG-1's search for the Ark, etc.), but the only way it could have been expanded to suit my tastes would be if they had made it into season 11. Which obviously was writers' original plan, so I can't fault them for changes that were beyond their control.

I dont know about anyone esle but i would like to see one of our 304s beam all the IOA members out into the cold of space. Any power the ioa had should now be mute after such a plain as the one in this movie.

That's a good idea. Pity no one did it.

More Adria definitely would have been nice. But, what we did get was quality stuff IMO.

True, but it all seemed kind of rushed to me.

Me too, the movie was still great, I have the crazy hope of somehow seeing her in a future SG1 movie or Stargate series.
