Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

this show is complete B.S. Every episode is basically the same.Completely staged.It seems none of the contestants have any common sense and the producers are even dumber.Once you have seen one episode you have seen them all. its discovery channel, take this garbage off and put on something real

When i watch these shows I like to see how they get fire, how they get shelter and how they get food (and what eat as food).However I hate how the females want the males to respect the animals they kill for food.lions will kill any other animal too eliminate competition. for food even other lions and cubs.baboons will kill cheetahs cubs. thus if other animals don't respect each other why should I? What they should do is thank GOD for the food not the animals they don't want to be food.The animal are out to survive and expand the species. this show is to watch human survive against nature.To agree with others it seems scripted, how do you know it is 2 am without a watch, a sun dial?It seems they cast polar opposites, my friend was in the marines and said you get along or the unit gets destroyed.A vegan is paired with a hunter who loves meat but the vegan survives longer.p.s they cant hunt monkeys in some countries thats poaching

You could clearly see that there was jealousy amongst the girls trying to out do each other with their survival skills. Eva & Laura were jealous of Dani since she was the ONLY level-headed contestant and she had survived 4 days by herself. They didn't want to look bad in front of the boys. I could clearly see why Dani walked the savanna by herself, she was doing the polite thing and NOT just telling the other females to shut-the-*uck up. I think that even Bear Grylls would say good on you Dani for NOT being part of the clique. I was surprised to see Eva & Laura - who in their minds were the experts - allow the boys to do things for them. As my husband calls it, playing the girl card. You know the card, where girls get boys to do things for them by acting helpless. Ask Alana, she's an expert at that. Very disappointed watching: Luke, Chris, Eva, Laura, Alana & Danielle. You could see that Alana was jealous of Shane right of the bat, I think she wanted to hook up with Danielle so she was upset with Shane for trying to step up to the plate & do all the chores, she acted jealous like he wanted to get more attention than what she was getting from Danielle. And Danielle was about as pathetic as you could get. She reminded me of when my kids were teenagers & were picky eaters. I mean really Danielle who can say that they are a survivalist but yet not kill their own nourishment. It was interesting how the girls took over the shelter that he'd built also There were no real leaders in the pack of 40, except maybe Shane & Dani who had to leave to get away from the whiners. The others really made it look like a high school clique.

Episode and DescriptionHIMALAYAN HELL (SUN AUG 17 10/9C)Two survivalists try to survive for 21 days in the high altitude and extreme cold of the Himalayan foothills in northern India. In the face of severe dehydration, one survivalist's debilitating illness threatens to derail both of their chances of success.When this episode started I thought it would be the usual fare but from the start there was something different about this pair. He was very patient with her and when the blow up came (as it always does) I was disappointed in her. She seemed to have a chip on her shoulder about the "roles" women and men have whereas he seemed to just want to get the job done. I'm glad the fight was over quickly and they got down to surviving. This was my favorite one yet and was glad they recovered pretty quickly. By the time the horn honked telling them they had made it I was cheering.
