Stargate: Continuum - User Reviews

Perhaps the most amusing part of this film is how we have, _once again_, a large (presumably underground) facility suspended in the middle of a deep hole in the rock with _no safety rails_. :joy_cat: ---- Honestly, this movie is great even though one could probably poke some gate-sized holes in parts of the story with a bit of determination. The only thing that could have made it better was more Teal'c, more O'Neill, and/or more [spoiler]Hammond (especially in light of Don S. Davis' passing shortly before release)[/spoiler]. Well, I also would have liked to see [spoiler]the alternate timeline's Stargate Command facility at McMurdo before it was destroyed[/spoiler], but we can't have everything. That would have been a pretty major scenic construction expense for little story benefit. ---- _For fun, I decided to see why Pluto TV's version showed up as 1h43m long, when IMDB and **every** other service (10 at time of writing) has a 1h38m cut. To do so, I put Pluto on a second monitor and muted it, starting both videos as close together as I could._ _In doing so, I found the reason: Ads. While Roku Channel also has ads, Pluto is the only service to include the ads **as part of the runtime**. I've no idea why they do so, but maybe it means the ads are actually encoded into the video stream instead of being served separately. (Most ad-supported streaming services, including Roku's, fetch ads separately, presumably so they're easy to change depending on demographic targeting and/or which advertisers are willing to pay.) What an odd implementation decision…_
