Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

texasboyy Loved the first season, even with its over abundance of telenovela melodrama, but the series started to falter halfway through the second season. Most of the characters and writing weren't interesting enough to maintain interest across several episodes. They started getting redundant, some subplots about relationships carried on way too long, and the day-to-day issues they had to face were just monotonous. Walking Dead has the exact same issues, yet for some reason that clunker is still on the air. The Boat should have focused more on the science fiction aspect of it and wrapped it all up by end of season two (same with Walking Dead BTW). I stuck with it through season three but it was obvious the writers had run out of ideas. The cheap cliffhanger they threw in during the last episode was just weak too. If you want to see this, just watch season one and skip the rest. First season also has some interesting scenes with female nudity which vanished in later seasons.

cathycee-09950 I'm watching it now and enjoying it enormously! Yes it has its flaws but still better than many American series. Lots of crying.. lol.. A lot of work went into this and I think the the acting is good. I read the subtitles but enjoy the beautiful Spanish language..Why do movies have to be totally reasonable..art is not..

JimE-36-668522 Saw it on Netflix and since it had English subtitles I figured I would give it a try.Lets see if we can break this down without giving too much away, A brilliant scientist devises an experiment, finds out that the evil rich guy wants to rule so he steals some data and hopes they won't go through with the experiment, but they do and it goes wrong, DISASTER...But wait, Brilliant Scientist has a plan to save some people, they get on a boat for a 2 month long scholarship cruise, The DISASTER happens, and they wander the ocean for more than the planned two months.The evil rich guy has HENCHMEN, and they try to get the Red Folder from the Brilliant Scientist...They find an Island, Evil Rich Guy has more HENCHMEN,There are more ships, some are good, some are bad, some we never seeThere is romance, betrayal, giant sea monsters, big waves, whirlpools, Three seasons total, the first two were decent, the last was less so, as it seems they either ran out of money and or knew they were being canceled so they tried to wrap things up quickly.Overall the stories were pretty good, although like Lost in Space you wonder why they didn't just dump Gamboa into the ocean, There is quite a bit that is not explained until the last 15 minutes of the last episode of season 3. Being that all the dialog is in Spanish and I don't understand much Spanish the English subtitles made this a very watchable show. Some of the episodes are much better than others and some of them drag a little and seem overly complicated, this may be how the Spanish Networks wanted it done, I don't know. If you like shows that are somewhat silly and improbable with a decent plot you will probably like El barco, if you don't like the silly plot twists, the love triangles, the betrayals and the improbable disasters than you might want to skip this one.

minimusdecimus I am a fan of the sci-fi genre. I am also a big fan of the Spanish cinema. So I began to watch the series with great expectations. However, a few episodes later I started to fast-forward it, and close to the end of the first season I was actually watching a few minutes/episode - that is, some of the scenes with gorgeous girls. Can't just stop watching something like that.As other reviewers accurately described it: pathetic. Where should I begin? The 'sci' part is annoyingly wrong and stupid, as anyone with a minimal scientific education (talking here read a damn scientific section of a newspaper, not actually go to school) would immediately notice.The 'sweet-roll' part is so wrong and stupid, I can't imagine anyone who ever was in a relationship swallowing it. A 9 years old just might... but I have my doubts.The dialogues are so wrong and stupid, I strongly believe the death penalty should be reinstated throughout Europe. At least for screenwriters. I can't believe I am actually saying this, but given such a silly screenplay, the acting and direction are mostly great. The actors managed to make me half-believe some of the least stupid things happening there.I liked several songs on the soundtrack. Alongside most of the actors (and the girls - distinct category), I found this to be one of the few redeeming qualities of the show. That's how I rated it -1/10 instead of -10/10.
