My own self

When Stargate SG-1 finally ended after its tenth season, it was ironically virtually the only season they hadn't wrapped up all their major plot lines. This was on purpose, though, as they were planning two (or hopefully three) direct-to-DVD-movies to tie up the remaining loose ends. The first one of these, Stargate: Ark of Truth, was alright, but felt more like a double-episode from the show than a movie in its own right. I was excited to see if this movie, which was to tie up a plot-thread a good bit more interesting to me than the ones they tied up in Ark, would do the same.

And it did, but actually a little less so. Continuum does indeed have the feel of a movie in its own right, though it's still plagued with feeling like a high-budget double-episode while you're watching it. It's also involving time-travel, and I've never been a fan of plots where you hit a reset button at the end. If none of the characters will remember, then what is the point of telling us the story?

Those things considered, it was a good ride - better, I'd say, than Ark of Truth. There's a couple of nice guest appearances by many old favourites, including the ever-awesome O'Neill and also one by Hammond, with some nice pieces of dialogue ending up feeling eerily sad considering Don S. Davis recent death. There was humour, there was very good use of continuity, there were twists, politics, betrayals and Baal, my favourite Stargate-villain to date.

Not to mention that it looks damned awesome. A very strong 7,5/10
