Stargate: The Ark of Truth DVD Review
March 9, 2008 by Cynthia
After ten seasons on the small screen, the SG-1 crew have made the leap to. . . well. . the small screen, but in a very big way. “Stargate: The Ark of Truth” is the first in a series of straight-to-DVD movies and it hits store shelves this Tuesday.
