Please read my profile and then come back. :)
NOTES:
This is my version of the next Stargate SG-1 movie. It was written months before the series ender of Atlantis, but I've tried to incorporate a few things that were learned in that final episode.
This was written as a feature in script format. I've done my best to re-format this but ffnet stripped a lot of the formatting. I may one day upload it somewhere in its original properly script formatted pdf form.

FADE IN
EXT. ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETARY - DAY
General Jack O'Neill, Colonel Samantha Carter, Colonel Cameron Mitchell, Daniel Jackson, Teal'c, Vala Mal Doran, General Hank Landry, Walter Harriman, Sergeant Siler, Major Davis, and other recognizable SGC personnel watch as the US flag is carefully folded in white-gloved hands.
President Hayes stands at the podium, having just finished an address to the assembled crowd.
O'Neill stands and takes the flag from the SOLDIER and presents it to GEORGE HAMMOND'S next of kin.
O'NEILL
(solemn)
As a representative of the United States Air Force
it is an honor to present you with this flag.
Let it be a symbol of the grateful appreciation this
nation feels for the distinguished service rendered to
our country by your father.
The WOMAN takes the flag and resumes her seat. O'Neill returns to his seat beside CARTER as the lone bugalist begins to play.
A secret service AGENT approaches the podium to speak with the President and he is quickly escorted away. Another AGENT bends down to whisper to O'Neill. Yet another to Landry.
Daniel and Vala watch curiously. Mitchell and Teal'c pointedly keep their eyes ahead.
AGENT
Sir, you're needed back at the Pentagon.
O'NEILL
(whispers forcefully)
I'm at a funeral for cryin' out loud. Can't it wait?
AGENT
(whispers)
Long range telemetry has picked up vessels of
unknown origin headed straight for earth.
O'NEILL
(resigned)
Of course there are.
O'Neill and Carter exchange a look and follow the Agent with no further resistance.
EXT. VFX - Space
Five ships of unrecognizable design sail through space.
CUT TO:
Ext. VFX - SPACE
Much larger vessels of the same design attack other planets with recognizable populations. The inhabitants have no way to defend themselves. The invaders leave no survivors and scorched land behind.
TITLE OVER: STARGATE REVELATIONS
INT. PENTAGON - DAY
An AIDE hurries to keep up with O'NEILL as he walks into his office, CARTER and LANDRY at his heels. There are photos on one side of the ornate wooden desk in the center of the room of Cassandra Frasier, Daniel, Teal'c, his son, and one of Carter and himself at a formal function - her in an evening gown, him in Service Dress.
MITCHELL, DANIEL, VALA and TEAL'C walk in a beat later.
AIDE
(to O'Neill)
The President has called an emergency
session with the Joint Chiefs.
DANIEL
Jack, what's going on?
VALA
Something serious.
TEAL'C
Indeed. We would not have been summoned
from General Hammond's funeral were it not
something of grave importance.
O'Neill touches a control on his desk and is connected with the APOLLO orbiting Earth.
COLONEL ELLIS (Filtered V.O.)
General O'Neill?
O'NEILL
Colonel Ellis. I need General Landry, Doctor Jackson,
Teal'c, Mal Doran and Colonel Mitchell transported
back to the SGC. Standby.
VALA
(looking at Carter)
What about -
O'NEILL
(glances at Carter)
I need her at this meeting. You can have her
back when we're done.
O'Neill raises a hand when Vala looks like she is about to protest.
O'NEILL (cont'd)
Ah! You know as well as I do that she's way
smarter than us. I need her there.
(to LANDRY)
Liase with NASA and sat-com to get us as much
information as you can on these incoming ships.
The SGC is better equipped to give us reliable intel.
LANDRY
We'll have the information when you need it.
O'Neill taps a button on his desk again.
O'NEILL
Apollo. Go.
Vala, Landry, Daniel, Teal'c and Mitchell are beamed away.
O'NEILL (cont'd)
(muttering unhappily)
At this rate, I'm never gonna retire.
Carter's smile is tight.
O'NEILL (cont'd)
I suddenly regret supporting Atlantis' to return to Pegasus.
CARTER
At least we were able to dig the chair out of the Area 51 debris.
O'NEILL
And get it working again. That was nothing short of a miracle.
CARTER
No, the miracle was that the Stargate program
wasn't revealed that day.
O'Neill grabs a folder off his desk and places his hand at the small of her back as she precedes him out of his office.

NOTE:
There are two versions to this opening scene. Do you want to read the second one next or after I've posted this entire story?
This story is complete. I just have to format each part a little better to make it more readable. Unfortunately, the dialogue isn't properly formatted and those of you used to reading scripts will cringe when trying to read this. I know I do!
If anyone has any ideas how to get this properly formatted, please let me know!
Too bad one can't upload a pdf.
