It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I just bought the DVD's for Peter Benchley's Amazon because I wanted to watch the show again.I especially liked the part Rob Stewart played and was disappointed when the canceled the show after one season. I wanted to see if he would be cured of his illness by Prudence so he would be able to try to get home.He was told he would become ill again if he left the Amazon because she had not found the cure yet.The other actors were also great in the parts they played, but Rob is a actor who can play different roles.It's too bad they can't bring the actors back to give us a final of what happens to them especially Jimmy and Karen.

This was on TV late last night. I thought it was pretty bad. The episode started off with a flashback, revealing a plane crash/midair collision that goes on far too long, almost to the point of comedy. (It hits the other plane...gets torn apart...plummets...crashes...separates...rolls over...falls over a ravine...rolls around some more...come on already!) Then we see a naked woman swimming in water and an alligator comes in after her. She makes a lot of noise and splashes and tells it to go away. It goes away.She finds a life jacket and suddenly she's teary-eyed. Quick cut to a scene with post-fame C. Thomas Howell (now looking old and out of breath) asking, "Where did she go?" Cut back to the woman (now mysteriously wearing clothes) standing with the life preserver around her rambling on about the airline.It only gets worse after this.It's either based on a book or concept by Peter Benchley. I don't know, I didn't bother to figure out if it's a book because I hate Benchley's novels; JAWS is one of the worst I've ever read (the movie is ironically one of the best), insulting and childish with poor character development and bad dialogue; his other books are mostly even worse.He has a lot of bad ideas in his head. This TV show is one of them.

Amazon is such a great show because of its vast diversity in characters, plot, and appeal for all ages and both sexes..The "survivors" each have their unique persona, and as a group they have such great chemistry on screen. I personally like the Native tribe the best, although I know so many Amazon fans prefer The Ghost Tribe because of certain "nice-looking" actors!! The natives have such great costumes, and they speak the language so convincingly..and they really do help add some spice to the diversity I mentioned. And of course, the set is beautiful. It's a change from the usual sit-com apartment or coffee shop. Congratulations Benchley! It's a wonderful show!!

I saw the first episode last night (in Toronto we get it later) and I thought it was really cool. It was entertaining and interesting. The crash scene was done really well and the sound stage is absolutely amazing. I am kind of concerned about how they're going to drag on the plot line throughout an entire series without repeating too much and without making it another Gilligan's Island. We'll just have to watch and find out. From what I've seen so far, I give it an A+.
