Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

bradencliff I decided to write a review here after discovering how misleading the others are. This show is incredibly engaging and informative. Although it's main focus is extinct animals, Extinct or alive educates us about many others animals. The host, Forrest Gallante, is contagiously enthusiastic and highly relatable. He does indeed swear during some episodes. However, it is censored. If this bothers you then I suggest not watching the show. Another reviewer was angry with the way he talked about some locals on an episode. He called them drunks and was clearly upset at them. However, these locals were indeed drunk and they illegally hunting endangered animals in a protected area. I would also be upset if I were a conservationalist. That same reviewer accused Forrest of of telling lies. They demonstrated that there is indeed anti-venom for the viper they encountered. However, they misunderstood the context with which it was stated there was no anti-venom. Forrest and his team were deep in the Taiwanese jungle. They were far away from any hospital which means there was no way of reaching any anti-venom. That is why he said there was none. Furthermore, other reviewers have said this is another one of those shows like Finding Bigfoot. This is far from the truth. The point of the show on the surface is to uncover extinct animals. However, biggest goal is to spread awareness of those animals in the hopes to help protect them. It is a show about conservation at the center. This is bedsides the fact that they do indeed find the Zanzibar leopard after it was declared extinct over 25 years ago. The problem with criticizing the show for not always finding the animal is because that is the nature of the job. Sometimes the animal just isn't there. That does not mean the show failed at its goal. In the end, it show that accomplishes it's goal of project it's message for conservation in the most effective way possible. The adventures and discoveries you see are extremely inspiring and the episodes leave you with hope for the future of the animals of this planet.

lionsfan0975 I have to honestly say that each episode has me glued to my chair. Each episode goes so quick because it brings something new and is thoroughly entertaining. Not only am I entertained but I generally learn a thing or two from Forrest. Plus I believe what we see and hear can help people to believe in the chance of finding a supposed extinct species. I mean you never truly know and almost anything is possible. Each episode focuses on one particular animal that has been determined to be extinct. So they go there to research and look for the animal with the hopes of getting evidence that they exist still. If they are able to get evidence and they can provide funding to assist the animal to stay alive. Along the way Forrest will also find other animals that you can see and learn about too. Hopefully most people that watch will at least slightly change their ways for the betterment of the planet and our wonderful animals. It's sad to see how many living things have gone and will continue to go extinct due to humans.The show is fantastic and they all deserve kudos for a job well done.Forrest you are the man!! Keep it up!! Props to the crew and everyone behind the scenes too! You all make it happen! Lastly, thanks to Animal Planet for having this kind of programming!!!

rhardy-390-701341 Traveling to exotic, distance, areas of our globe, in search of animals, supposedly extinct, based on tales and claims of locals and regional hunters!Great catch lines and..not much else. The areas they visit are aesthetically pleasing, do not get me wrong, but the shows content smacks more of a UFO hunt. I had to listen to a friend who had became addicted to some show about a north eastern island, called Oak Island, that supposedly claimed to be the resting place of some fantastic treasure. Each time he would speak of it he would be less and less enthusiastic...and that is what the show has become for me.It implies AMAZING DISCOVERIES and is simply a minor zoological lesson, with travail footage and images of other local animals...yet no elusive *insert random extinct animal*.I find the show a big effort at running in circles. I would think that Discovery, moving away from the mental fluff shows it has been endorsing for the last 5 years, for concern of being the next channel with a slapstick nick name, much like The History Channels "The Hitler channel" tag that it distanced itself from through programming changes.I would rather watch a show about a region, that mentions a "sighted" extinct species as a byline, than an entire show focused on ...airIf you like "WHAT IF??" shows, sure, this would work for you. If you expect the previously determined extinct *Again insert random extinct animal name here* to be AMAZINGLY discovered in the content of this show, you will sorely disappointing

dextershepherd I had high hopes for this series. Unfortunately, it's in line with all the finding Big Foot, river monsters, etc. shows that lead one to believe they will eventually provide some shred of definitive evidence. Sadly, it's disappointing at best. They use a drone with Infra-red sensors. Why not fly the drone in closer to actually obtain footage? Because it isn't there. CGI? Like a National Geographic version of Paranormal Activity. Don't waste your time.
