Stargate: The Ark of Truth | comment |
Warning: Spoilers for Stargate, Stargate SG-1 and this movie follow.The Ark of Truth is a direct-to-DVD Finale Movie concluding the Ori arc of Stargate SG-1.After Daniel Jackson receives visions of an artifact that can end the war with the Ori in one strike, SG-1 decide to travel to the Ori galaxy in the hope of locating the device before their ship is annihilated by the massed army of the Ori. The Ark needs to be used on just one Prior to instantly strip Adria (who succeeded the Ori killed by the Sangraal) of her power, and one was stupid enough to waltz straight into Stargate Command and let himself be captured. It's a simple plan, nothing can possibly go wrong, right?Wrong! Thanks to IOA agent James Marrick, who almost dooms both galaxies by an untimely release of a Replicator on the Odyssey. That, as well as the fact that the one definite weakness of the replicators they had (Ancient-infused O'Neill's disruptive wave generator gun) was programmed out of its system.But other than that everything's going exactly according to plan.The movie was followed by a second SG-1 movie, Stargate: Continuum. | |

Schizo Tech: The ancient Alterans: before leaving the Ori galaxy, they were living in what was apparently a medieval-level town, but were able to build an intergalactic starship, a device that brainwashed anyone who looked into it, and had preliminary sketches for the Stargates. | |

Deus ex Machina | |
Stargate: The Ark of Truth / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: The Ark itself, implausibly convenient and never mentioned in the show before. Of course, the plotline was supposed to be a complete new season, but then the show got canceled. That might explain why they easily found an artifact they were supposed to look for during 15 episodes or so. The nature of it is also justified, as SG-1 was led to the Ark by an ascended being, the closest thing this series has to a god, and mass brainwashing the Ori followers was the simplest way to end the war. | |

Godzilla Threshold | |
Stargate: The Ark of Truth / int_72856b70 | comment |
Godzilla Threshold: Marrick defends the IOA plan to resurrect the Replicators because Earth has been on the losing side of an intergalactic war with the Ori for the better part of a year. The problem is that as soon as the Replicators have finished consuming the Ori fleets and their planets, they will do the same to the Milky Way. Even the Ark itself is this, given the ethical issues involved in brainwashing people even if they don't have another way to stop the Ori army. In defence of the Ark, Vala gathers from Adira's unwillingness to use it herself that it can only make people believe something that is already true, suggesting that the concept it has been programmed with has to be empirically true to be accepted. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Arguably; SG-1 may have eliminated the rest of the Ori with the Sangraal, but now Adria is able to draw on the power of belief that was once distributed across all of the Ori and contain it to herself. Lampshaded by Daniel, who acknowledged in "Dominion" that he was worried about this very outcome. | |

Rule of Symbolism: It's revealed that Celestis is the Ori's planetary Vatican for a reason: It's the world from which the Alterans made their exodus from their home galaxy. The Book of Origin even references the Alterans' last redoubt as "Ortus Mallum" — the birthplace of evil. Daniel agrees the symbolism makes sense; the Ori worshipers would build their holy city on the planet where they believed their gods had triumphed over their enemies. | |

Leitmotif: Naturally, the SG-1 theme is reused by composer Joel Goldsmith. However, thanks to the larger budget, he was able to do David Arnold's full Stargate overture (though Ra's theme is swapped out for the Ori theme) for the first time since the original movie. Other leitmotifs carried over from the series include the themes for the Ori, Mitchell, the Ascension theme, and the Replicators. | |

Shout-Out | |
Stargate: The Ark of Truth / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: At least to Star Wars ("Millions of years ago, in a distant galaxy...") And Terminator, complete with Suspiciously Similar Song to the theme music (the "skeleton" of Replicator Marrick). And then there's the first actual order (see Call-Back above) Cam issues upon taking command of the Odyssey: "Make it go." The majority of the film could be see as a downplayed Whole-Plot Reference to Star Trek: First Contact, given that the team is split in half for a good chunk of its run. Specifically, Sam and Cam dealing with the Replicators infesting the Odyssey bears a lot of similarity to Picard dealing with the Borg infiltration on the Enterprise. | |

Speak Ill of the Dead | |
Stargate: The Ark of Truth / int_d259fea2 | comment |
Speak Ill of the Dead: Despite SG-1 wiping out her brothers and sisters, Adria isn't exactly mourning them or trying to avenge them. After all, with them dead, she's now the sole recipient of the Ori's power. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard | |
Stargate: The Ark of Truth / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: IOA Agent James Marrick recreates a Replicator, hoping to use it as a weapon against the Ori, much to the dismay of SG-1. He is later consumed by the Replicators and turned into a Meat Puppet. | |

Heroic Second Wind: Teal'c demonstrates just how badass he truly is by traveling what's implied to be hundreds of miles, on foot, with a near-fatal back wound, to the City of Celestis. | |

Art Evolution: Meta example. After having switched over to HD video beginning with Season Eight, SG-1 returned to shooting on 35 mm film for Ark of Truth and Continuum (both because of the larger budgets and to play up the cinematic aspect of the Direct-to-Video Movies). | |

Drama-Preserving Handicap | |
Stargate: The Ark of Truth / int_efacc623 | comment |
Drama-Preserving Handicap: Each time the Odyssey is surrounded by the Ori and being blasted, rather than shoot back with their Asgard beam weapons, which had previously been shown to be capable of destroying an Ori ship in a few shots, the Odyssey crew is currently busy with some other crisis happening within the ship. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
Stargate: The Ark of Truth / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: This one's an interesting case. Stargate Atlantis character Colonel Abraham Ellis and the Apollo have a brief cameo as the SGC mobilizes for the Ori armada's invasion of the solar system. Ellis first appears in the Atlantis' Season 3 finale, "First Strike", which was filmed about the same time as the DTV. However, while The Ark of Truth didn't come out until a year later, it's set before Ellis arrives at Atlantis. So from a chronological standpoint, it is an early-bird cameo. | |

Traveling at the Speed of Plot: The time on the spaceship fighting the replicators seems to take less than a day, however Teal'c goes on an epic journey through mountains on foot in that same span of time. | |
