Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

jameseoberg Spaceflight historians and program veterans have serious problems with the fundamental premises of this show. They say there never was such a sensor on Mercury-9, there never was the slightest justification of putting such a sensor on it when airplanes could carry the sensor more effectively and cheaply, that Cooper only took a few dozen photos of the surface -- none at all over the Caribbean == that there was no way an astronaut looking out the window could accurately log latitude/longitude of anything he saw, and no way that Cooper could or would keep secret notes from the flight without NASA's knowledge. Otherwise, enjoy the show.

katherinefairchild This man was legend. Cooper was bound to have found a large sum of treasure. I wonder if he had no children with his second wife they were such rock stars of their time. Cooper also was not shy about UFO's and Aliens. This is not a made up story. Cooper was a real space cowboy! Can not wait for the new season.You can not make this stuff up.

kchiasson-77464 It is yet another over-glorified, over-hyped reality TV show. What else would you expect from Discovery network?As others have mentioned, you could easily condense the content into 1 or 2 episodes. There is so much repetition, that I feel like I'm being taken on an 'idiot ride' and I can't take any of it seriously. Especially the mapping from space, using such old technology to detect underwater objects from very far away, while traveling at high velocity.Search for written documentation instead of this time-wasting trash and watch something else on NatGeo, for example.

Edward Williams I love a good treasure show. This is panning out to be a very interesting one.I'm only a few episodes in, and from the trailers I see the Dad seems to get more involved later on.However until then... OK so the relationship with the dad is strained. The dad is obviously his own person. So he didn't have time to play baseball with the son, sometimes dads are snowed under, rightly or wrongly, trying to provide for their family, build a legacy for their family etc.The dad obviously was friends with Cooper first. Without speaking to the father for several years the son turns up with a camera crew, and doesn't make any great effort to not let the conversation deteriorate into an argument. We only really hear one side of the story thus far.Aside from the daughter in law slating the father on public television, then the son turns up at the fathers yet again, trying to get hold of the master chart.Yet again, no appeasement. No bridge building. No meeting halfway. Just gimme, like a spoiled brat.This scene is very telling. The father opens with basically 'if you'd come to me in the beginning we could have done this together'.The son doesn't go to the father and say, hey, I know we have had our differences but how about we work on this together? Or, how about I split any findings with you, in return for your input of the master chart. Or, I could use your help - as a gesture of respect. No, he starts banging on about how Gordon was a father figure to him. What a dork.Bottom line, the master chart IS the property of the father. If you can't build bridges with the father, or even show a modicum of respect to another man, then you don't deserve the chart. If that were my son I wouldn't have given it to him.The father drops clanging hints all through the conversation - "you can't play monopoly without the board"... "money is not as easy to get as it used to be"... "we could have done this together". The son seems to have his head so far up his a** and so determined to follow his own bitter selfish path all of this is going over his head. In the end the father gives the son the chart because basically the guy grows weary of keep having to talk to this guy. I don't blame him.Who goes to their father after not speaking to him for years and says hey, I want you to give me something for nothing, and by the way you suck. Not literally, but in his general attitude.Cooper gave the master map to the father, and the individual files to the son. Cooper obviously knew the situation between the father and son. The son suggests that Cooper 'would have told his father to give him the master chart'. Well, I expect if Cooper wanted the son to have the master chart he was perfectly capable of giving it to the son himself, with the rest of the files.Strikes me that Cooper gave half of the docs to the father, half to the son. Probably in the hope that them working together on a nice project might build bridges between them.The father is painted to be the bad guy (so far), I ain't buying it. If I was the father I would have thrown him out too.
