Plot summary
When the Stargate team goes to see Ba'al, the last of the System Lords, being extracted from his host. All of a sudden, Tealc, Vala and all of their allies start to vanish. Later Carter, Daniel, and Mitchell try to escape through the Stargate but find themselves not on earth but on a ship trapped beneath the polar ice cap. They learn they are on the freighter that was delivering the Stargate found in Egypt in 1939 to America. The ship is about to sink and they evacuate. They are picked up by a submarine and brought to a Naval Base where they learn the SG project never happened. They try to warn the government that the Gouald might attack earth. But the government doesn't believe and tells them that they're being released and given new identities and not to talk about what they are talking about. Three months later, the Gouald attack and the government asks for their help.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Stargate: Continuum (2008)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Continuum took 19 days to shoot, plus five days of filming in the Arctic, where the unit stayed for seven days, and it was placed in the Guinness World Records in the category for farthest north film shoot.
- The film is dedicated to the memory of two men who lost their lives during an accident under the ice cap on the submarine at the time of filming. The production spent five days shooting in the Arctic on top of its 19-day schedule.
- A scheduling conflict left actor Michael Shanks unavailable for the Arctic scenes, although Jackson had been on the boat with Cameron Mitchell and Samantha Carter in the preceding scenes. To make his disappearance plausible, Wright decided that Jackson would develop frostbite after stepping in water and be unable to continue with the others.
- This film contains the final scenes filmed by actor Don S. Davis, who died on June 28, 2008, about one month before the film's release. He was later honored in Stargate Universe by having the ship named for his character George Hammond commanded by Samantha Carter.
- Postponing the film until the fifth season of Stargate Atlantis was airing left a continuity error with Carter and Mitchell's rank: the ending credits list them as lieutenant colonels, yet when they fly the F-15s each wears the rank of colonel. Producers had realized during filming that the release would probably follow Carter's promotion on Atlantis.
SPOILER
Richard Dean Anderson was not supposed to appear at the start of the film, where he is killed. According to Wright, Anderson was only set to appear in the alternate timeline in Antarctica, because that is what Wright asked him to do.
