Following a false lead on the planet Dakara, Daniel (Michael Shanks), Carter (Amanda Tapping), Mitchell (Ben Browder), Teal'c (Christopher Judge) and Vala (Claudia Black) encounter a Prior and a group of Ori warriors led by Tomin (Tim Guinee). This is how it starts. As the title implies, the search for that particular deus ex machina is the main focus of the new movie. It's understandable that the producers wanted to definitively wrap up the Ori storyline after the open-ended events of the series finale, but the invention of the ark device seems just a little too neat. Though no mention of it was made in the series, suddenly we have this magic object which can nullify the spread of false religious ideology, the source of the Ori's power. Also slightly disappointing are the production values, which don't stand out from the average SG-1 episode (which were always admittedly better than the average television show).
All in all, what you get with Ark of Truth is a new, extended episode of SG-1, an uncommon treat now that the show is off the air. It is undeniably good to see the team back in action; it would have been even better had it been just a little more thoughtful and lot more cinematic.
