Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
johnbrandt-61369 why wouldn't they set up camp right on the red zone instead of a impasse though mountainous trail that's unrealistic!I think this show is so phony that the writers weren't even fully awake when they were writing this.It boggles my mind why they wouldn't put the camp right on red zone not 5.12 miles over mountains. Stupid is what stupid does i guess!.And Americo i was really proud of you when you found your first gold don't let anyone tell you people with downs syndrome can't do something.you can do anything your heart and soul really wants to do !Right on brother you show them hey little buddy.Because you have down syndrome you can do anything any of those other guys can do working with you ! Congratulations again. manufactured drama and nonsense there's at least 4 that wear cowboy hats?But they're all like you say anyways hey?
onyamatey I am a semi professional gold miner in Australia, and I like to watch the gold mining reality shows like Gold Rush, Yukon Gold etc. Ice Cold Gold season 3 is nothing more than visual diarrhea. It is complete fabricated rubbish and more of a theater for the viewers than a reality show. Some examples......"omg omg the plane has a piece of steel in the tyre and it's flat, Americo just saved our lives"... ??? WTF ? Is anyone out there so simplistically stupid to actually believe this ? Before anyone is even allowed to board the plane it needs a full pre flight inspection by the flight crew, and they just happened to miss a flat tyre...are you serious ? If this really happened where the plane was actually going to taxi down the runway with a flat tyre the captain and first officer would be fired for their incompetence for breaking basic fundamental flight protocol. They hike for 4 hours, then walk across an active glacier tethered together in case they fall through the ice, then they climb a loose rock wall and take a small bag of samples. Upon returning to their camp they crush the ore and the geologist needs an eye piece to look in the pan for a tense 5 seconds then announces "we've got gold". They all hi-5 each other like they are rich. The camera shows quite large chunks of gold..... but the problem is the ore just came out of a rock mill/crusher which means everything was pulverized into powder, so how the hell did large chunks of gold get in the pan ? And if that shot of large chunks of gold was true, I doubt the geologist would need an eye piece to see large chunks, he would announce it straight away. It's just complete and utter bullsh1t ! And they are talking about laying claims on those sites and either mining it themselves or selling the claim to another company for some fast profit. So tell me this people.... who in their right sane minds would try to mine in Greenland if there is a 50 day window, and the only way to get in there is by helicopter ??? They are saying "You don't need large machinery to mine"... ummmmm, yes you do. Those idiots are talking about being millionaires and possibly billionaires from their gold discovery but I see a big problem with this. Absolutely nobody would ever invest a single cent into buying any sort of claim from these dick heads. If it takes 4 hours to hike across a glacier to get to a rock wall, how the hell am I supposed to drive a 20 ton excavator across the ice to reach an unworkable mining location? haha And how the hell is a helicopter supposed to lift any sort of equipment in heavier than a gold pan to actually mine enough gold to pay for the flights ?I wouldn't be surprised if the people in this show are actually paid actors by The Animal Planet, and the whole show is nothing more than theater to keep simple brain washed people entertained with simplistic diarrhea and garbage. It's complete crap and the show should be removed from existence. It's disgusting and The Animal Planet should hold their heads in shame for producing such pathetic propaganda.
Lucinator d I first want to point out that this show is average, whether this is due to incompetent miners or the editors making them look that way is unclear. However this detracts from the show and spoiled what was a promising start in season 1.That being said, many of the reviewers for this show have a lack of understanding about how mining is done/how dysfunctional small businesses often are. Having been in several small businesses and being a rock hound. (amateur miner)For example I can say that many of the dangers faced on the show were very real, the problem is that it is hard to show the viewers the danger.As for Haddix's review claim about the red zone loss being faked... It sad to see that people don't do basic research before making claims. A quick Google search turns up the law mentioned in the show. Greenland's "Mineral Resource Act" which was amended in 2014, in particular section 32 which covers the need for natives to have priority in mining."http://www.govmin.gl/" For Haddix I recommend you keep in mind that the bureau of minerals job is to lure in foreign business and these government agencies are known to say whatever it takes to get you to set up shop. Assuming you even called them.
Jack Torse My family has been hooked on the "gold" genre of shows over the past few years. From watching Gold Rush on Discovery to Bering Sea Gold, I feel like I know enough about gold mining that I could go up to the Klondike and do it myself! With that in mind, I was very excited to start watching Ice Cold Gold. This is a whole different type of mining in one of the most dangerous places in the world - Greenland! Never before has a mining company went to such extremes to find gold and other valuable minerals. So far, season 3 is by far the best season of the show. During season 1, you understand the team's mission and season 2 you see them execute on the mission. But in season 3, it's nothing but adventure and gold mining. If you too like gold shows, then I highly recommend watching all three seasons (and future seasons) of Ice Cold Gold.
