Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

pinkxacid Wow, I came across this show, aired late at night. Unfortunately, I only saw it from the second last episode, as I think there isn't another series. But, this show is one of the best I have seen in a long time. I'm not a sci-fi or fantasy type of person, but this show knocked me off my feet! Nikko, is a young, gorgeous looking boy, and I fell in love with him instantly, as I did with his also good looking father! It has a riveting storyline, is action packed and it is very different to other shows on TV. I cant believe they pulled it in the USA and that they showed it at 12.30pm here in Australia. I'm really going to miss it!!

daria84 Ok, so if you are the kind of people who didn't enjoy "the Mummy" movies, or any Indiana Jones movie, or thought that "Tomb Raider" was stupid, then you must skip this show; but if you did, I can assure you, you will like this one a lot!!The plot is about an archeological group called "Veritas" who seek the truth about mankind in ancient artifacts and that kind of stuff, and are lead by rebellious teenager Nikko Zond (Ryan Merriman) and his dad Solomon Zond (Alex Carter). The chemistry between the actors is great, they have good lines and have improved a lot since the pilot episode. And the supporting cast is excellent! I mean come on, Arnold "The Mummy" Vosloo is there! we all know that guy can't offer anything less than a great performance, and in this role he is just awesome, as the mysterious Vincent.This show is kinda like "Johnny Quest", Johnny is Nikko, Dr Quest is Solomon, and Race is Vincent, all the rest of the cast add the fun :) Bottom line: If you are an adventurer, this is a "must-see" show!

mayfair5x5 I assume that people who criticize so harshly must be experts in acting, writing, etc., and perhaps have won an Academy Award or two. Well, I am no expert in acting, writing, etc., (and therefore have not won an Oscar), but I have to admit that "Veritas, The Quest" is just plain fun. And perhaps it's purpose is to poke a little fun at itself. I was really engrossed by the pilot episode, and felt the I was thrown into the thick of the action right off the bat. I got hooked. Then again, I watched "Joe Millionaire" so perhaps my credibility just flew off the monitor.As with many first seasons, episodes tend to be self-contained, but we all know that once the mythology story arc is in full-swing, things get really interesting. So I'm up for giving this show a chance. :)

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.
