    TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
    SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
    Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
    Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
    Masticina Akicta It is rather dumb! Compared to the obvious other show it is compared to Mythbusters it lacks a scientific basis. Also really tits and explosions.. so what? Then again if you are coming from your boring job, just been through bad traffic and the neighbours freaking dog can't stop barking. Yeah I see the position of this kind of television show. It is for when you want to switch of your brains :) Hell there are whole themed television channels where you can simple switch off your thinking, drink beer and be entertained. Now what I miss is the sticking factor. I mean really with brainiac you can only say "Hey seen that explosion on Brainiac" and what do you get back "What of the 10?"Some might feel hurt by what I am saying now but it is moronic. I remember that after a good Mythbusters and during I and the ones I life with actually talk about how we would do it? How we can see a thing to work, very interactive!You know that is why it gets a 3, it is entertainment and it works. But you simply forget it exists! It doesn't leaves anything behind! There is no sticking power no deeper thoughts. 3 out of 10 it is!
    wooxr_pt this show is by far the worse i've ever seen. it tries to be a show of entertainment mixed with science but in fact it isn't entertaining at all because the ''acting'' is just too bad, the things they show are pretty common, the scientific method is nonexistent, and the science itself is ridiculed, even the explosions aren't funny on this show and that's quite an achievement because explosions are always a lot of fun. the brainiacs are picked i don't know how but they get ridiculed on TV to prove nothing at all and the things that the show talk about are completely random and completely useless. it's a complete waste of time and believe in me when i say that you are probably better off.
    simonp101 This is a film for everybody in the UK to watch. If you are into stupidly funny things, then this is easily your cup-of-tea. Brainiac is basically like a school science lesson, but with all the boring stuff taken out, and leaving in all the explosives etc. If you are a critical science person, or enjoy science in school, sorry if that offended you :) Anyway, Brainiac is a must see for everybody. Blowing up Caravans, Microwaves, Shocking people, and making random experiments like a vegetable launching mortar and a company-sized bottle rocket is not out of the norm for these people. I myself rate Brainiac to be THE best TV Series on Sky One. 9/10, superb!
    Morfeus Ivanovich Well, I guess that "Braniac" is very stupid, but not a bad show at all. With a microscopic element of science and some British humor it created a decent Friday night entertainment. Since the creators and cast don't even try to take the show seriously, it can't be called hypocritical, and it sure as hell beats pseudo-social shows discussing "important social issues". Some episodes are just unforgettable! This Tina Turner thing is hilarious, and God, I love the nurse:) However, there is a small drawback. They never seem to credit the girls properly, and what's the deal with their website? Still, those small problems cannot rob the show it's charm. Overall rating: 7/10 so far! Keep it up!
