Two Stargate films

Good news for fans of the long-running sci fi series “Stargate SG-1” – MGM today announced their intention to produce two full-length feature films which will debut on TV and of course later be available on DVD after the series concludes its epic ten season run later this year. The first film, titled STARGATE: THE ARK OF TRUTH, will conclude the primary storyline of the past two seasons and the second, STARGATE: CONTINUUM, will continue the adventures of the Stargate crew, hopefully taking them into places where it becomes imperative for cast member Amanda Tapping to wear outfits equal or similar to that featured in the picture to the right. Here’s a more thorough synopsis of each film:

STARGATE: THE ARK OF TRUTH

As SG-1 searches for an Ancient artifact which they hope can defeat the armies of the Ori, they learn more Ori ships are about to be sent through the supergate to launch a final assault on Earth. Daniel discovers that the artifact, the Ark of Truth, may be in the Ori home galaxy, and SG-1 embarks aboard the Odyssey to find it, and pre-empt the attack. The IOA has a plan of their own and SG-1 ends up in a distant galaxy fighting two powerful enemies.

STARGATE: CONTINUUM

While SG-1 attends the execution of Ba’al, the last of the goa’uld system lords, Teal’c and Vala inexplicably disappear into thin air. Carter, Daniel and Mitchell race back to a world where history has been changed: the Stargate program has been erased from the timeline. As they try to convince the authorities what’s happened, a fleet of goa’uld motherships arrives in orbit, led by Ba’al, his queen, Katesh, (Vala) and his first prime, Teal’c. SG-1 must find the Stargate and set things right before the world is enslaved by the goa’uld.
