    Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
    Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
    Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
    Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
    Asteri-Atypical The 2005-2006 season has been an uncommonly good one for FOX overall. Which is a refreshing change after many seasons of canceling wonderful shows (including Firefly, John Doe, Futurama and many others) and abysmal reality shows. For some time it appeared FOX had given up on virtually all quality programming.However this season we had "House". "Bones". "Prison Break". "24". Let's not forget cornerstones like "American Idol". Overall a quality season.And... then came "Unan1mous". Eww. Amidst a lineup of shows, a number of which were real winners, FOX reverts to type for a moment and brings on garbage like this. A banal reality show in keeping with such "gems" as Joe Millionaire and Mr Personality. What can I saw about this show except - STOP MAKING THINGS LIKE THIS! If you ever get a chance to see this, for heaven's sake, DON'T! Oh, well. FOX has redeemed themselves, for the most part, in my eyes. Prison Break, 24 and House are excellent shows. I can forgive them for Unan1mous.I forgive them less for canceling "Arrested Development", one of the best comedies in years, but that is another story... ;)
    lookoutformn The show was not rigged as many would like to believe. It is AGAINST THE LAW to cheat a game show. I do not think FOX would break the law and fix a show.The show should have been an hour long, but it didn't so i'm over it. They had 8-12 million viewers EVERY week. Sure any show after Idol will do pretty good, but this is the best ratings an after idol show has every received. So as much as some "hate" the show, they did something right. Some of you people can't handle reality, and to me this is reality at it's greatest. Sure there were some actors, but actors are real people.It's a giant human experiment, putting people in a closed environment with no fresh air, no ability to tell day from night, no contact with the outside world. Some crack, some hold strong, some don't do much at all.All in all, the concept was great, the show was good. I think Fox will attempt a seconds season, with it being a bit more planned out.
    catcat2000230 If it weren't for American Idol, this show wouldn't have even made it through two episodes..... It resembles a begging little puppy that sits under the table, waiting for whatever is left of your chicken sandwich. If we could all just get up and change the channel, then your voice will be heard.... Remember: You CAN make a difference. Sadly, that is not what is happening now... We are letting this get out of hand. I wasted half-an-hour of my dear depleting life watching this filth. Now what would really make this a good show is if they tricked the actors: Perhaps throw in the Burger King Man, a smoke grenade, and a few bottles of hard liquor, and yes, I would watch it. But for now, I feel no suspense whatsoever. ******************SPOILER******************* For those of you that were wise enough not to watch this show, here is an overview of the plot: Nine unrelated 'people' are locked in an underground bunker, completely unaware of the twists that will befall them. They made sure to fetch the most different people on the face of the planet: A trucker, a preacher, a gay man, a handbag designer, a crazy man, a single mother, and others. Perhaps Fox thought that this would make for heated controversy. Wrong. These people are all actors, and basically this show is just a stereotype of every group of people packed into 30 minutes, once a week. How many preachers go around saying, "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, honey!" The answer: None. Preachers are meant to "share the love of God", not bash everyone that they see. Next, there is the 'psycho', who gives us a completely unrealistic view of mentally ill people, with his rants of 'I hate you all,' and the solitary behavior that Fox tries to stage. And the soccer mom: How many mothers would leave their children behind so that they can be locked up in a steel bunker for three months, with no contact with them whatsoever? Perhaps one that really despised the children. Don't fall for the 'Well, we need the money,' Crap. Please. And then there is the trucker, who is being portrayed as a simple idiot, believing everything that anyone says, just because he has a country accent. Yet another stereotype.. 'Tara hates you, Steve... Vote her off...*chuckle*' 'I'll vote hurrrr off, how durr she du thayat tu me.' So many stereotypes, so little time....I end this review with one simple word: Prep0sterous.
    butterflavoredcrisco Dude,I agree with you totally and 100%! This show is rigged bigtime! What kind of show can this be? If everyone voted for the incredibly nice guy Steve, on the 2nd episode and made him a millionaire, how the heck would this show last? It would be the shortest so-called reality show in history. This show is just a rip off of Big Brother with unnecessary complicated foolishness to make it seem like such a worthy show to watch. "You can't vote for yourself" as a rule of the game,So why would anyone want to play a game that isn't of any benefit to themselves? Wouldn't everyone just walk out and call it a day when they find out that they won't be winning? Just doesn't make any sense. Then to top it,the show's only like 20 something minutes(if you omit the commercials) How much can we get into the show with that little time? Or maybe if the show was an hour...(45 minutes no commercials) The viewers would have saw right through it and stopped watching. Set your TIVO because you will never see this show anywhere again after it airs...
