Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

aurorapic Relic hunter type shows like Veritas can be good. This one has some fair story lines, and seems to be getting better as it goes along, but the writers need to develope the characters more. The actors need to become their characters. They don't have any depths to their character.Just like the last review, some of the events were laughable. The first episode, I actually found boring.If this series expects to last even as a midseason replacement, the writing needs to be stronger and so do the characters.I am all for giving new comers a chance. Since I've explained their weaknesses, lets hope the producers, writers and actors are listening.

prometheus1816 Like so many of the other comments on this show, the main premise is so badly written that it doesn't even pass the laugh test. The teen angst against the distant, but protective father plot is so boring and tried. I would love to have seen Alex Carter and Ryan Merriman be more or less on the same page. They'd lost a wife/mother and therefore should have drawn closer together. It seems in every episode thus far, they spend more time at each others throats than remembering they're father and son still grieving the death of a loved one. It seems as though this show also suffers from the "carbon copy" syndrome. It's no surprise that ABC wanted to capture the same elements as its other hit show "Alias" with the relationship between Sydney and Jack Bristow, but these two actors in "Veritas" aren't even close to the talent of Jennifer Garner or Victor Garber. To me, the only saving grace for this show is to expand the enigmatic character of Vincent played by "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns" Arnold Vosloo. Who isn't used to his full capacity.While I understand that this show is still young, I cannot get over the amateurish way the show is being presented. Of course it is geared toward the under eighteen crowd, but still, there should be enough for the adults to want to watch. For me, it's solely Arnold Vosloo's presence. I know for a fact, without his talent, I would not be watching the show. "Varitas" doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it "The X-Files" with the syndicate, or is it "The Mummy" with the pseudo Rick O'Connell and Alex sans Evie? Or is it just masquerading as "Lara Croft" only without the girl with the gazagas, since this is familiy entertainment. Or does it want to be Indiana Jones, "The Early Adventures of Indiana and Henry Jones". I don't know. Every show has its growing pains but this one seems stunted. "Alias" and "The X-Files" hit the ground running with their characterizations and plots. "Veritas" just can't seem to think of what it wants to be. So far, the people of the Veritas "Squad" have found two artifacts...mmmmmm? Reminiscent of the Alliance attempt to find the Rambaldi artifacts in "Alias"? They've had their jet crash and have had to trek across the Antarctican plain to get to a buried heat source that supposedly helped adventurer Sir Ernest Shackleton and the men of The Endurance survive their ordeal. Why can't this show just be original and have "real" characters and stories? Because, the more one tries to reinvent the wheel, it's bound to get screwed up somewhere. This wheel still has square corners. One saving grace: Beef up Arnold Vosloo's part. Make him the focus, I'm sure there are far more interesting tidbits in this character's background to mine rather than have us sit through this agonizing father-and-son-angst thing.

Powerseeker This show is definately a success. I, along with many other people like this series. It is very interesting and very exciting to watch. I love the characters, they are very creative. The writers are brilliant. Thank you so much for making a series like this. Don't listen to other people who say it isn't a good show. It is a wonderful series. Don't take their word, watch it yourself.

Ten13Grl The first episode of Veritas showed much potential and a promise of better things to come. Ryan Merriman delivers, as always, and the rest of the cast were great as well. The show is the story of Vincent, played by Alex Carter, who is an archaeologist.......well, kind of, more like Lara Croft's version of an archaeologist from what the first episode shows, and his estranged son Nikko, played by Merriman. In the first episode Vincent is trying to find a lost city that his wife had been searching for before she died and Nikko ends up coming along for the ride. The characters are interesting and the dialogue, though it could use a little work, is quite good overall. ****/*****
