Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Jayden-Lee Thomson One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

review man Apparently this show was written by children. It's a truly pathetic attempt to make archeology more interesting by adding a legend quest theme. but it actually does more harm than good. It's as dumb and retarded as ancient aliens which also manages to take the hard work of scholars and regress it to mysticism and film flam.I actually enjoyed it because I like to hate things and this show provided me with a non stop tirade of hatred. It manages treat the audience like morons. It uses editing techniques to add bad voice overs to scenes where there clearly wasn't any dialogue. The editing in general is just awful. It's a mish-mash of extreme close ups and non-existent suspense. The episode I watched featured 3 close ups of spiders.The Indiana Jones knock off host just pisses you off. He is arrogant and manages to lose his Scottish accent in favour of an American accent on numerous occasions seemingly in dramatic situations.For a show that presents some adventure and history check out digging for the truth instead.

Lithophantom I was so hopeful that SyFy had something with this series...but I was wrong. I am a real life archaeologist and the amount of work we have to do to even get a small idea of what we are trying to find is enormous. This crackpot makes wild guesses and gives us all a bad name. My way of explaining his research and outrages assumptions is: if there is fish on the menu of the restaurant in which he is eating...then Jesus must have been born in the basement. Not only does he make wild assumptions, and act like it is his superior intellect that leads him to these conclusions but he searches for things we are not even sure really exist. Or even better yet he whole heartedly assumes they have supernatural powers. The only redeeming thing about this show is that it takes us to really cool archaeological sites, otherwise, it isn't worth the time. It is an embarrassment to the field of archaeology. I could say more but the other reviewers are doing an excellent job letting you know this show is terrible.

recklessron ******************* SPOILER ALERT ******************* The first three episodes are The Ark of the Covenant, Excalibur and Holy Lance (the one that pierced Jesus's side). That's 3 mythical objects that could NEVER be found in reality. Not surprisingly, none of them are actually found.Add to that each episode covers 2 different, completely unrelated, topics - all in 30 minutes - which should give you a good idea of the depth in which these topics are handled.IMHO I'd rate it a zero, if I could, since it has no redeeming features whatsoever.I think you'd be much better off watching the Indiana Jones movies - as they are as 'real' as this is and FAR more interesting.

theta-astute I honestly thought this show had promise at first, but as I watched episode after episode, I realized it wasn't going anywhere. The main dude (I honestly didn't even bother to remember his name because I found him THAT non-interesting) puts clues randomly together. Give him a stick and he'll say to go left, right, into the temple, under the water, travel to 3 different countries, and there you go. He has his "idea" of where the legendary artifact may be. But he cannot make sure because of some stupid reason. It's either protected, not enough information, too dangerous, or something else.I have also done research on some of what he claimed was "history". Most of it is meaningless babble.
