Correction, you would keep accelerating only while the engine was on. When you shut it off, you would remain at the same velocity forever, unless disturbed.
Also, when you say "you don't feel it", I disagree, because your back would be pressed into the seat when you hit go. In fact that's the biggest BS about sci-fi movies, next to the noise in space issue.
