    AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
    ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
    BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
    BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
    Elcaminosoldier Wow...i watched half an episode of this garbage and i cant get those precious minutes of my life back to do more constructive things with my time like start a cult, put lit cigarettes out on the back of my neck or the very least inject black tar heroin directly into my testicles i don't think its scripted its more like the thought process of each person on the show thinks to themselves "what would make for dramatic TV? I know I'm gonna slip into water for a fee feet and act like I've been in subzero temperature water for 45 minutes" and yet every person has the same thought process its like an LSD ridden hive mind has taken over the airwaves of America
    kzoulianos I really liked the series and if it wasn't so obvious that its fake and scripted I'd be fine with it being so. Like come on. All teams have 72 hours to reach the leg and they all make it there 5 minutes apart from the other...following completely different paths. And every time they reach it in the last hour...I was actually laughing when i was watching them running to make it there in time, at the last moment. And in every episode this happened, like come on.There are other things as well that stand out as fake but i watched the series over 10 months ago so I don't remember details. It would be so exciting to remake it and be real this time...
    n-m-bertin The first season was quite enjoyable, until you realize it's all fake. People can't hike the distances announced in such a short period of time, they don't have that many close encounters with bears, they don't paddle down a glacier stream and stop a couple of meters before a moulin... The worst was the 2nd season, with soldiers lying through their teeth "I'm doing it for my country" yeah right... mountaineers claiming you have to respect the wilderness, while they're doing a blatant staged show, acting as if they ignored danger and all, taking ridiculous routes and risks, not eating enough... Tyler's disappearance was pathetic, with hours in freezing water (allegedly of course) and a "lucky" (staged) rescue. This kind of show is dangerous : it makes young people think you can survive by being absolutely reckless in the wilderness, all these guys are Bear Grylls on steroids, and there's NO warning telling people to not reproduce this, that this is staged and over the top. They could have done a good show by making it 100% real, instead they chose the showy fake entertainment path. Just by looking at Alaskan maps you can see the distances announced are fake, and when danger arise, the cameramen stay still, clearly in the know that this was gonna happen, as it's scripted. Please avoid watching this, or we'll have countless clones, and uneducated kids and teens will try to replicate this and many accidents will occur...
    anthonyk747 Season 1 was a pure test for the show, since it had been a new release, so rules were different in Season 1, than in Season 2. In Season 1, it wasn't a competition, there wasn't any prize, and everybody could change their group throughout the journey. Plus, everybody was given 72 hours to reach the end of the leg.But, in Season 2, they realized a lot of changes that needed to be made to improve the effectiveness and challenge of it; thus, improving the show and Alaskan experience that was gained. They upped the stakes by adding four specific teams, each with an orientation around them (The Mountaneers, The Military, The Woodsmen, and The Endurance). They also reduced the time to reach the of the leg down to 60 hours, but provided a bear-barrel at the end, filled with goodies to help them on the next leg (protein, nourishment, etc.).Overall, this show is nothing less than a thrill-ride for every survival enthusiast out there! Whether you're in the show, fighting the competition, or you're watching the series from home, you get just as much a feeling of fear, adrenaline, hunger pains, etc. They're doing all of this for the Grand Prize of the Title of: "Best Alaskan Survivor." That's it! No cash, no new car, just a Title to show off your Alaskan survival skills!
