Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Yogibearz I get the whole thing with switching it up...gotta keep it fresh for the audience. So they introduced teams in season 4...that have to find each other in the terrain..and it seems to have been a grave mistake! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for reinvention when called for...this show wasn't there yet! They could have easily gone one or two seasons more with single survivor's (which the original concept is all about). Now contestant's are force to tap out because their partner do?! That's messed up! Especially in a show like this that is all about proving yourself. I'm just afraid that this show is heading towards a "survivor" kind of show, which this show was never about!! I seriously hope next season of alone is back to its former winning concept!
targe1314 I'm currently watching season 4 of this show, which had a bizarre misstep last year by relocating to Patagonia of all places.The show is an endurance survival show, with participants dropped off in a remote part of Vancouver Island (except for last season, which was in Patagonia). They must then survive until 1 is left, with loneliness usually crushing most (as per the show's appropriate title).This season they have shaken it up by having teams of two, one of which must set up camp and the other who must find them, dropped off 10 miles away.The contestants, ala Survivorman, must do all their own filming, which doubles (at least!) the effort required. How the cameras keep rolling, with no semi-trucks of batteries in sight, is an interesting question...As expected then, with a bunch of amateur filmers also trying to just survive, the camera work is Blair Witch shaky and bad, with lenses frequently fogged over and smeared.Also, there is precious little good film, as the contestants grow tired and cranky and have little energy for quality film making.This perhaps explains the bad starting to every season, where they spend way too much time showing the contestants at home.It would be nice to see each contestant go over each survival item they are bringing and why, as this is left as a mystery and detracts from the show. Instead we see endless montages of the contestants frolicking with children and dogs prior to leaving.Despite this, the show does a fairly good job of stitching the various pieces of sow's ears, into a reasonable silk purse, with encounters with bears, wolves, cougars, and spiders, all presented in horror fashion. There's also something car-crash-attractive about watching a starving person slice up a banana slug and fry it like calamari, before hungrily gobbling it down...
rufsetufshesten I've always been a sucker for survival shows, but the newer shows tend to focus too much on the sensational than what one actually needs to do in a survival situation. Les Stroud being the exception. THat's why this show was a positive surprise for me when I started watching it. I was expecting a show more in the lines of Survivor or something like that, but instead I got a show where each man is pitted not against the other contestants, but against himself and his skills or lack thereof. It was interesting to watch how the guys dealt with the wildlife, climate and the need to build, from scratch, a home in the wilderness. It also helped that the climate on Vancouver Island is much the same as where I live, minus the large predators, so it was extra fascinating since this showed the rigors of trying to live off the land in an area that's damp or wet most of the time. The simple task of making a fire, keeping stuff dry and keeping warm is made that much harder when everything's damp.And all this done by guys that easier to relate to than Bear Grylls. THey seemed like guys you'd meet at the local pub or at work, but with just that little bit of extra interest in survival and the outdoors Another key thing that kept me watching was that you could see their struggle to keep, well, not sane, but motivated to tough it out when the trip back to civilization was just a phone call away. Back to the family and friends and the modern creature comforts. So, all in all an amusing show that actually managed to teach me a few tricks along the way.
FishBibble Being out there in the wilderness at night with no protection is no picnic, and I can tell you have never done it if you think it is.I can say this because I grew up in northern Canada, and as a kid we would chase away black bears and we saw them all the time when i went hiking with my friends. I was 12 at the time and a group of us would chase these bears away, we lived in a town of about 350 people up near Alaska, a small Canadian mining town, and so I got used to seeing all kinds of wildlife. There was one time an older black bear turned around and started charging back at us after we had chased it across a big baseball field at night, I have never ran so fast in my life, and the kids I was with ran as well, as there was no protection out there on a field with nothing to climb or hide behind, we had a golden retriever who was my family's dog, He had warned me more then once about some bear while camping or fishing, and had many times he had stood his ground protecting us, but that time he ran faster then all of us, and speed past me.I have also read all the stats about wolf and bear attacks, and while it is one thing to understand that there has not been any real wolf attacks documented, it has happened. And there are numerous bear attacks having been documented. There is a big difference between a timber wolf and a normal wolf. When I was around 15 years old, I went hiking and being a kid was oblivious to my surroundings. I was crossing a river, when I felt something, so I looked up, and there was a timber wolf staring at me also crossing the same river, it wasn't the usually way a dog looks at a person, it is very different, you could see he was trying to decide if I was food or not? It was super scary, the two friends I was with bolted, and having no choice at that time, I did the same. When he started to run at us I could tell he still hadn't decided what he was going to do, but it was just instinct. I got to a bunch of trees and climbed up them quickly and he stopped at the base of the tree and looked up. He then heard another hiker call out down the trail, and he gave me one last glance and bolted. if I was alone he might have decided to eat me, seriously, while most Hollywood portrayals of wolfs is ridiculous, attacks do happen, and a timber wolf is a real predator, unlike a normal wolf which i feel like I would have a chance against, a timber wolf is so much bigger and made to kill big prey. Their chests are huge, as well as their paws and teeth.Anyway, it seems like easy money this show, but to the credit of the people who have left, it is another thing when you are actually being stalked by the bear, all the way back to camp, that is serious behaviour and I have no doubt that such a bear would attack when it showed no fear, and actually showed aggressive behaviour. Admittedly wolfs, I would be less scared off, but is is still another thing to have no way of protecting one's self and no way to get help quickly. To those who think it would be easy, well, go try being in a tarp tent, without even a zipper, and see i you think you are as brave when a cougar, bear or timber wolf is scratching on your door.The best thing any of them can do is create a big fire at night, that would go a long way to scare away animals, and create some sort of protection. I can't wait to see anyone here who thinks it is easy to get out there at night, and see how they do. Again, it is a completely different thing to read stats, or to meet bears with the protection of a car, a good tent, even the protection in numbers, then when you are all alone, with no weapon, and know you are pumping fear hormones into the air. You have no idea how scary that can get, it is no wonder that the people who have had predators come back to their camp have left... I do not blame them, even having my experience with bears and wolfs. Maybe the show's producers should take people up on these forums who think it is easy.
