Stargate: Continuum - A Very Good Time Travel DVD Movie
To all you sci-fi fans of Time Travel and/or the Stargate SG-1 TV series, I think you’ll be very happy with the latest Stargate direct to DVD movie, Stargate: Continuum.
Continuum deals with a whole bunch of time travel concepts including “the grandfather paradox” - if you kill your grandfather, would you cease to exist, and the plot is basically Ba’al, Stargate’s arch enemy, travels back in time and prevents the Stargate program from ever being started causing the time line to change leaving the SG-1 team, the ones who haven’t vanished, left to try to restore it. This is where things get really interesting. The Stargate team finds that there is no Stargate program and the lives and identities of the members of the Stargate team have changed considerably and they all wind up leading separate lives for the next year or so. Earlier, they had tried to get the President in the new Timeline, William Devane with one of the worst lopsided hairdos ever, to jump start the Stargate program and use this to correct the timeline. The President refuses, saying that by doing so, this would change the billions of lives that are now in existence and apparently it is a somewhat peaceful, prosperous Earth. The US Government does a cover up and the SG-1 team are given new identities, financial support and are forbidden to hold any jobs in their fields and contact each other. So they lead new independent lives for the next year which I thought was really interesting. Finally one day, guess what, Ba’al and his followers do an “Independence Day” and start to invade Earth.
The rest of the movie deals with how the SG-1 Team gets reunited and how they defeat Ba’al through the use of Time Travel creating one of the greatest Time Travel ending scenarios ever, which I still can’t quite figure out as there are 2 possible and totally different explanations for it.
