Two Stargate SG1 Films Announced 181
Presence2 noted that MGM announced that the Stargate franchise will migrate to the big screen, carrying with it the ending of the last two season's Ori plot-line. The plot summaries listed in the article don't seem like anything surprising... one even has a wacky time-line slip-up plot. Very original for scifi ;) I'll still watch it.

Maybe I'm just slow to embrace change, after all, I have the same complaint about the new Doctor Who seasons (Eccleston vs. Tennant)

Better for there to be movies in the main franchise, so we can continue enjoying it without seeing it turn like X-files, with no end in sight and ever weakening storylines.
This new spin off series thing might be entertaining, so long as they don't 'enterprise' it and make everyone hate it, just like Crusade did to Babylon 5, what a horror that was.

Only the biggest movies (Star Wars, LOTR) are released in Europe with only a few weeks delay, the rest will typically trail by a number of months.
I can't imagine any good reason for this; translation couldn't possibly be so time consuming (no voice sync in the Netherlands, just subtitles), and all it'll do is push people towards illegal download services.

Then to everybody's surprise, it got renewed. But they'd already defeated the Goa'uld, and had to come up with a new enemy. Hence the Ori. The reason it got cancelled after Season 10 was because of exactly what you're saying: people got bored with the Ori, or weren't able to suspend their disbelief, or were just tired of the franchise. But there's still a few loose ends at the end of Season 10 that they need to tie up. I doubt it should make it to the silver screen, but a direct-to-TV miniseries that ties out the series would be in good taste. There are still a lot of diehard fans out there who want some closure to the storyline.
As for your not liking Atlantis, that's personal preference. I found I really started to enjoy the series about halfway through Season 2, and there've been some *really* intelligent episodes later on. Download McKay and Mrs. Miller (3x08), for example.
