Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I like shows that make science look cool. George Eads is fun.

It's an exciting series allows the viewer to think outside the box to solve the problem.

Just saw 5 minutes of an episode and by god it was awful, was season 2 apisode 18, zapping through the channels saw they were about to just by the flick on a laptop shut down the engines of a plane and by wonder it dropped out of the sky as a brick, really? Engines shut down it will act as a giant glider and all instruments won't be gone as a plane does have a RAM, which allows basic functions. This is just so lame it ain't fipunny, original Macgyver was so much better growing up with it.

I wouldn't listen to all the people rating this show 1/10, they're morons. Anybody thinking of watching this show, give it a chance. I mean watch the whole first season at least don't just watch the first 5 minutes of the first episode and immediately write it off as crap.
