Continuum was good, but ark of truth was horrible. The last battle between the two chicks looked like two balloons filled with air let go instead of CGI.
If the final battle looked like two balloons, then you watched the leaked copy, which didn't have the finished visual effects. (You may have also noted that Adria walked off of a wooden thing, and that she switched back and forth between being on fire, and no being on fire, along with text at one or two points indicating not-present vfx)
If you watched the actual DVD, which had the real visual effects, it was pretty nice. The final battle was very similar to when Oma attacked Anubis, but Adria was more of a red fireball than a ball of glowing light.
I think the problem with the Ark of Truth is that they basically compressed what season 11 was going to be into an hour and a half. Stuff seemed missing... Like, out of the blue they were "Oh yeah, Daniel has been having these visions...."
Continuum, however, played out like a nice long SG-1 story, and not a bunch of stories mashed together. I was happy with it. Though, I would have liked a little more explanation on the machine Ba'al used. It had to have been built by either the Ancients or Anubis, based on the Ancient text on the console...
