Cruise the Queen Victoria
The Newest Ship of the Legendary Cunard Cruise Line

Rating: - Great science fiction, great movie.
This movie is a perfect bookend to the stargate saga, although of course the future is open for a continuing of the story.

Production values are excellent. Scenes hinted at in previous episodes regarding a massive invasion of earth by space are finally seen, and they do an excellent job of portraying earth under attack by space.

Virtually every old enemy re-surfaces in the movie due to the altered timeline story, and it is refreshing to see the familiar 'baddie' characters reprising these roles, even if only briefly.

You'll appreciate this movie the most if you see it after watching the main stargate series, obviously. But the pacing, the interesting story, great special effects, and the excellent performance by Cliff Simon as Baal really make this a wonderful science fiction production in general.

I look forward to future releases and the continuing of the stargate story in this and other media.

Rating: - Great Yarn, But So-So Transfer
This is a way beyond average SG1 episode that asks all the questions an audience might ask, but it throws them back at the audience and then proceeds to go on with a quick-paced adventure that is more cerebral than the typical machine gun, staff-weapon blasting stuff. And though the movie is theater-quality production, the hi-def transfer is definitely low tier. Dark areas are grainy and many shots are less than clear. It's also worth a pause when Daniel Jackson looks at the back cover of a book he published in the alternative timeline. Clearly no one thought anyone would do it as no care is made in the editing or writing of text.

The movie's worth buying, but I wish the transfer had been better.

Rating: - Stargate Coninuum
This movie nicely wrapped up the Stargate saga. This movie was worth the wait, the special effects were awesome.

Rating: - stargate sg1 continuum
If you like sg-1 and the adventures dealing with time travel, this movie is quite enjoyable. Yes, some of the old sequences are there (Teal'c as first prime but wants to be free), but, new twists with Vala and Ba'al. The story still leaves open the idea that other Goaul'd may be around, but the last major god has been vanquished.

Rating: - Great final DVD
A much better way to end SG1. It is worth buying and watching.

Cunard Line has announced that its new 85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship, Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most famous ocean liners in the world.   Cruise Queen Victoria

Cruise Queen Victoria will enter service in the company’s 165th anniversary and will operate cruises to and from Southampton to the Mediterranean, the Canaries, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12 passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2, the liner will have a Queens Grill, offering single-seating gourmet dining. There will also be a unique Colonial Restaurant on Deck 11 with spectacular panoramic views.

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and she will have a British Captain and Officers.   In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000 vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery  in 2006.   Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria.  The lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.

No cruise schedules have yet been announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008.
