Looking forward to owning this double feature, I’ve wanted to add these to my SG-1 collection for awhile but didn’t want to pay full price for both DVDs. Pre-ordered this for cost considerations, I think this will be the last time I pre-order anything, found out Target will have this for the same price as what I paid here, Walmart will have it for even a little less. I’m not going to cancel this order but I think it will be the last time I pre-order anything as the proposed savings just aren’t there. I shopped around for quite awhile before pre-ordering this, didn’t know until just today that the brick & mortar stores were going to have it for the same price (or less).
That I’ve given this 4 stars should not be a reflection of the actual movies themselves, but more for Amazon’s lack of any real savings on the pre-order of this double feature. Pre-ordering should give an individual the opportunity to purchase a DVD at a savings over what it will end up selling for once it becomes readily available, or else why bother with pre-ordering?
Edit: March 6th, my copy of this arrived today, thank you Amazon for the quick delivery. This DVD has no art whatsoever inside the case, just 2 disks. I was expecting the first releases of this would’ve had some inserts, or something fancy inside the case, but no.
Glad I got these 2 movies for a decent price per movie, but I notice that Amazon’s current price is the same as it was on pre-order, so my question remains valid: What good is pre-ordering? You don’t get any kind of special deal for it, might as well just wait for it to get released. -kd5-

Continuum DVD not in package. Ark of Truth pixilates stops and skips over parts on both DVD player and Computer DVD player.

Both productions are great entertainment, though Continuum is by far the best of the two. I find the names ironic because the whole idea behind these productions were that they were to provide a CONTINUUM to the popular Sci-Fi Channel show, Stargate SG-1; however the TRUTH is, there have been no further productions, nor have I heard that any were in the works.
Continuum is a time travel show that’s exceptionally well done. It brings an end to SG-1’s long-fought war with the G’aould System Lords. Ark of Truth, conversely, brings to an end the also long-fought war with the galactic cult, the Ori.
The two persisting problems with the show are not resolved. The first is why everyone in two galaxies speak English and happen to be mostly white and Anglo in appearance. The second is why no Asians or other races are ever found. Blobs of makeup in the forehead aren’t good enough these days and both problems could be resolved with some creative applications.
To the producers, we’re still waiting for more. On the other hand, if these productions didn’t net enough money to be profitable, it appears this is it. That would be unfortunate.
These stories are both worthwhile. I like them.

I have always been a fan of Sci-fi and this series which started with Stargate SG1 was great. It maybe Sci-fi but when it comes to Sci-fi it is a very realistic setting and story line behind it.
