Well, I had the chance to watch the film last night, or rather, the very early hours of this morning, after having watched it, I went to Bed, had an early start yesterday, so figured I'd write up my review now, after having been up about two hours, and have opened all my presents.
Anyway, the Ark of Truth. I was disappointed. Obviously we knew that the general storyline was going to revolve around the Ori, and how to stop them, and it was pretty clear to me that the Ark was going to be used at some point anyway, though some other aspects of the movie were dull, and could have had more going for them.
The fact that there were a lack of space battles annoys me a little, and even when we did see some space battles, what was with the Ori ships? Unlike SG-1, they're completely missing the white glow in the center of their ships, isn't that suppose to be their power source? If so, then it isn't working as it should. Granted only a small nit pick, but a noticeable one.
Also, I'm not entirely sure about this whole Ark thing. At the end of the film, Daniel was concerned about how it would work and such in the wrong hands, but wasn't this designed to only be capable of telling the 'Truth', hence, if it did end up in the wrong hands, they couldn't really do any serious damage, as the Ark cannot spread lies, due to the way it was built.
The whole Adria / Morgan thing was a bit odd to me too, Morgan wasn't from the Ori galaxy, so how did she get there? Aren't ascended beings suppose to be native to the one Galaxy?
I guess, at the end, both Adria and Morgan ended up 'dead', having somewhat cancelled each other out? Either that, or they'll be locked in an eternal battle, much alike Oma and Anubis.. maybe we'll get to see Oma & Morgan vs Anubis & Adria at some point in the future?
On the plus, the whole Replicator twist was a brilliant idea, never saw that one coming to be quite honest, even though the Human / Terminator / Replicator thing was a little... Out There, but the twist was a pretty darn cool one it must be said.
All in all, a little disappointed with how it was, but it is Stargate, and you've got to love it for that. I can only hope that Continuum is of higher liking.

My mistake...
