Just rented Ark of Truth from iTunes - Grumpyguy - 08-07-2008
For $3.99 not a bad Star Gate episode. Pretty good FX and plot.
Worth the time if you are a SG1 fan.

Capsule non-spoiler review:
Slightly better for Stargate fans than Peacekeeper Wars was for Farscape fans.
Kinda slightly. But the margin is definitely there.

I rented it in HD when it first came out - it was a good episode but not one I'd watch again. I just bought Stargate Contiuum on DVD - it got better reviews than Ark of Truth. Hopefully Stargate Universe becomes a reality.

. . .also talk of another Stargate movie focusing on Jack O'Neill. . .in the planning stages though. . .

I still cannot bring myself to watch SG as it was the show that supplanted Farscape on SciFi.

supplanted Farscape ? Dude, it ran LOTS longer. Heck, Lexxx supplanted Farscape.
Or are you just thinking that that's where Ben went after the Farscape gig stopped ?
Re: Just rented Ark of Truth from iTunes - bazookaman - 08-07-2008
Nope. Farscape was canceled. And Stargate was put in its place and given high priority. Lexx was on after Farscape.
Re: Just rented Ark of Truth from iTunes - Grumpyguy - 08-07-2008
no, Tremors replaced Farscape. Now that still shakes me to my core : )

The plot was decent and I guess I liked it well enough, but it didn't really have the feeling of a feature length movie to me; it was like any other episode. Some of the set design looked a little low-budget, and there was a scene where Teal'c was trekking about that struck me as being a little cheesy. I'm hoping for a slight improvement with Continuum.

Your timeline re. Stargate and Farscape isn't right. Stargate ran from 1997 to 2007 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/ and Farscape ran from 1999 to 2003 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187636/
