SGA movie vs. another season

katikatI've been reading Joe Mallozzi's musings about what would have happened in S6, if there had been S6, that is. And you know, reading that, I think it'll be much better to see all that condensed into a two-hour-movie than dragged on for a whole season.
I'm talking about this part: With Atlantis back on Earth, why the hell would the I.O.A. ever let it go? And if it remained, which, by all indications seemed likely, what would become of its occupants, especially Ronon and Teyla? Also, with a permanent station in the Milky Way, wouldn‘t Atlantis, logically, cease to be a launch point for gate travel and, instead, become a research center for Ancient technology? Well, I guess you’ll never know the answer to these questions… IF you don’t check out the Stargate: Atlantis movie that goes into production later this year, that is.
I can't see Atlantis staying on Earth and the show's ratings not plummeting. The whole essence of the show is that Atlantis is based in Pegasus! If it was set on Earth... I don't know, it just wouldn't work for me. But if they will have to solve the whole thing within two hours, you know, escaping the IOA, getting back in space, dealing with Todd on Earth... The movie will have to be fast-paced whereas a show, even if this was just an arc, would have dragged eventually.
What do you think?
