SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
delia_dantes Indeed, this so sad...that two ignorants to have the opportunity to go on a trip in such beautiful places and they are so fake and unnatural, they didn't appreciate a bit the experience (only chips and beer, that's their attitude)...I 've watched this footage very agitated and so angry because of those two so low IQ: just WOWs, COOL etc. but so fake... I don't recommend this to you. Read the review above, it express exactly the state of mind that you will have if you'll watch this !!! Too bad, they should have done this footage without the two ignorants and awful married dudes !!! Do it on your own time !!! But I don't recommend this to anyone !!!
notsuzie I looked forward to viewing the DVD that included Peru, South Africa and India. Unfortunately, it became clear that adventure for the featured traveling couple, and the producers of the show was tepid at best. They stay in the poshest hotels, take first class trains and dine in four star restaurants. While a massage at an infinity pool must be nice, one doesn't need to travel across the world for a spa treatment. The people you'll meet in luxury hotels, trains and restaurants are wealthy travelers. With that as a mainstay, why would your experience be any different in India or South America? You will likely miss the opportunity of absorbing the color, sounds, flavor and spirit of the country. Melanie and Albin brought nothing to the show; their conversations and reactions which lack insight, reflection or intelligence was baffling. "Wow! Awesome! This is so beautiful! That was so fun!" If the show was created to inspire or educate, it was woefully unsuccessful.
chris priest I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels the same way about this show. It had lots of potential, but is ultimately ruined by the vapid hosts. There's nothing wrong with having a "normal everyday" couple to host a travel show like this, but if you're going to do that, its best to not have the couple upfront and center the whole time.Every place they go to is "the best place I've ever been", each and every hotel they go to is "the best hotel I've ever stayed at", etc. At the end of each episode, the guy and the girl get to say a few words about the place they just visited, and its always the exact same boring crap they said about the last place, but with a different place name. Couldn't the producers have just written something for them to say? As much as I'd like to say this show is great with the exception of thew boring hosts, I can't. The hosts infest this show. They absolutely ruin it.
freemf193 I would gladly give this show a 9 except that I can't stand the Ulles.This show is a masterpiece, traveling the globe, hitting as many fun points as they can pack in to a small TV segment. Watching it in HD makes you feel like you're there and makes me want to travel so much more.However, the husband/wife team that have been selected to follow leaves something to be desired. While I'm pretty sure they were selected to represent the "typical" traveler, that's not entertaining on TV. I want my hosts to have some incite, some fun facts, interesting stories, deep reflection. The Ulles just think everything is "amazing" or "cool" or "wow". And the wife is afraid of heights, yet about half the things they do require heights and she just exclaims how scared she is every time...and how happy she was she ignored it after they're done. Ugh. After the first 10 times you'd think she'd learn.Ditch the boring unlovable couple and keep hitting amazing destinations.
