Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
traveltothesun All I can say is, I won't be watching it. I think when the advertisers see the ratings it will die a quick death. It and the new wheeler dealers are on the same path. Trying to take something that had a good format and put in new people just doesn't work. Some one tries a new spin and it stops. Some times death before dishonor works.
Mike Jones As a huge Mythbusters fan I was expecting a continuation... and was disappointed.. but then I started watching with an open mind.. and realised that I have been missing shows like Junkyard wars, Scrapheap challenge & Monster garage... this show resembles hose far more than the original Mythbusters and there is a niche for that format.. but call it Mythbusters Challenge.. do not drag us along into believing that this will somehow morph into Mythbusters II... it wont. In my opinion, an entertaining show, with a market, but badly marketed.
douneisou-41773 I understand that this is a completely different show from the original series so I will not make the comparison at all. Anyway it is a bad idea to combine "science" with "reality show". Reality show focuses on the social relationship between people, like how they work together or provoke each other. However science should never have subjective and emotional biases in it. Of course the audiences will complain that they are not seeing what they expected to see. Also, people who have enough talents to be the next myth busters are usually nerds that they devote much of their lives in learning and inventing cool stuffs rather than dealing with people, so most of the contestants do not have the TV personalities that qualify a good reality show. Allen is an exception because he's a YouTuber and is good at appealing himself to the audience. Hackett is another very interesting guy, as I observed from his previous TV series named "Stuck With Hackett". It's such a waste that they put him in a low key position, covering all his funny and creative sides. So far as I see, "The Search" fails miserably at presenting any interesting personality from the contestants to make it a good reality show.Meanwhile, the experimental designs for the individual competition are just way off science. It's a good idea to test their physical and mental capacity, just like in a normal real reality show, but taking samples from such a small number of amateurs to draw a "scientific" conclusion is just ridiculous. For me personally, I want to learn some real engineering stuff rather than knowing somebody in the team is slacking off or is abandoned by his teammates. Therefore, they also fail at making this a good science show. However, I am giving it 5 out of 10 is because I like the hard works so far done by the contestants. They are talented people, and I like seeing the process of problem solving. And it's totally OK for me to choose the next generation of myth busters from them. I hope that will make the Myth Busters series fun in a different way.
lastdomino Don't try to replace Adam and Jamie. They are true originals. Try something new with a new name. This is worse than awful. It is sweet that they are educated and definite fans of the Originals but it doesn't need to be done. What was original about the show will be gone. New ideas to try is still not something original.I love the idea of a Reality search for something; just not a new Mythbusters. Why not just a new show. Same folks who loved Mythbusters but name it something new with new intentions, new ideas, more original. This group really deserves to do something original; yet more of a spin-off from the Mythbusters. New Name. New People. New Show. New concept.
