It took me 9 years to understand this movie. Recently read a summary on Wikipedia that gave me a piece of information that wasn't in the movie. Mitchell had to stow away for 10 years in his grandfathers ship in order to blow up Baals troupe and save the gate. Then he reappeared with all the "dead" cast for the ceremony. Was I supposed to guess that part? Anyway I have watched it many times and finally made sense of it. Loved it either way.

And I thought 'Dude Where's my Car' was bad. The first 30 minutes is music and one paragraph of talking. How in the hell did HBO put this on. 2nd worst movie ever.Please tell Jeff Bridges not to put a gun to his head and squeeze off, from his brother performance.MacGyver is in it too. Same smug character, It doesn't even relate to the series. Tapper's performance is OK. That's it.Ben Browder acting again is sub-par.I do like the fact that Hollywood has a sense of humor. This is a example to college students on how not to make a movie.

As the conclusion to the Goa'uld arc, for pretty much any fan out there this movie is fantastic to watch. For non-fans, it's still a great experience, as it embodies what was at the heart of Stargate when it began and takes the greatest characters from its past to make a thrilling film.The story starts off with the execution of Ba'al, the last of the Goa'uld System Lords. The group is rejoicing, with their enemy finally coming to an end. However, within seconds, the Tok'ra base where the execution is occurring is being destroyed within seconds, people are disappearing into thin air, and Ba'al appears to have escaped. Col. Sam Carter, Daniel Jackson and Col. Mitchell manage to escape the Tok'ra planet and find themselves stranded on an alternate Earth after traveling through the Stargate.After learning that the history of the Earth has been altered and the Stargate program never having been started, they deduce that Ba'al somehow changed the past and, using his knowledge of the future, has taken over all of the System Lords to become the supreme ruler of the entire Goa'uld fleet. Vala never lost her symbiote, as the Tok'ra were annihilated, and remained Qetesh, the queen of Ba'al, while Teal'c, who still strives for the freedom of the Jaffa, has decided to serve Ba'al in order to obtain it on his (likely false) promises. Despite all of this, the US government refuses to allow the team to change history back to what it was and forces them to resume civilian lives. After about a year of living this existence, the team is recalled due to an imminent, massive attack on Earth by Ba'al, who seeks to dominate the planet and rule it through an insidious fear, using the governments of the world as his pawns.The acting is far better than what was found in Ark of Truth, with Christopher Judge taking the role far more seriously and with plenty of cameos (General O'Neill, General Hammond, President Hayes, and enemies that had fallen off the map or were killed, like Cronus and Apophis). It was more of a cinematic experience, with glider-MiG dogfights and a glassing of the Earth.A must-see for any fan. 8/10

The best stargate movie to come out. i liked the ark of truth but this was so much better. Richard dean Anderson's cameo well more of a bit player was great he never ceases to amaze me. The whole cast returns and pays homage to Australia in one of the jokes which was hilarious!. Amanda tapping looked extremely beautiful in the movie. Beau bridge,Claudia black, Ben browder, Christopher judge and of course one of my favorites next to Richard Michael shanks. CGI was amazing! one liners were perfect and the story was awesome! action, humor and Gould threatening to enslave humanity what more could you ask for. Bring on NUMBER 3!
