Trivia:

The film is dedicated to the memory of Paul McCann, 32, and Anthony Huntrod, 20, of the HMS Tireless, who died in an accident during the filming of the arctic scenes of 'Stargate: Continuum'. The accident was an explosion of an oxygen generator and not related to the maneuvers made for the movie.

Goofs:

Plot holes: At the end of the movie, Carter uses the Stargate to send Mitchell back in time by dialing to a point through a solar flare. However in the series whenever such a phenomenon took place, the "team" would return back to the Stargate they departed from, in a different time. Therefore, Mitchell should have appeared in the Stargate on the same planet with the time machine in the year 1929. Not Earth. Furthermore, should this be ignored entirely, the Earth gates in the year 1929 were both buried. One in Egypt and one in Antarctica. There is no way Mitchell could have gotten to Earth.

Quotes:

Crewman On Sail: The CO would like you to make it snappy!

Everything I ever wanted

I was really hoping that this movie would bring back the feel of the first seven seasons. A warm and cuddly SG-1. I am very happy to say it lived up to all of my expectations.

I enjoyed every moment of this movie, and it is without a doubt a spectacular finish. People familiar to Stargate will find that this movie does not go through too much spectacular special effects. The lines are not drawn out and the story makes this a very nice watch. Old and new characters combine to do what SG-1 does best... Save earth.

I would not like to go into too much detail as I would want all of you to watch it for yourself, and take it in for it's full meaning. It goes above and beyond the realm of Stargate.
