Just so...so bad

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

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.

They decided they needed a fresnel lens for a project. And he proceeded to write it on the project board as a "frenel" lens while boasting how he used to work with them in a laboratory, had that been the case I'm sure he would have written and spoke the actual lens name correctly. He did not. ....strike one...Then the whole concrete boat theory episode....well, having sailed since the 70s, I've seen hundreds of concrete vessels of all shapes and sizes, sail, power, houseboats, tugs, barges and more. So I had a very hard time trying to grasp the point of their "experiment" strike two. then the "Volvo powerslides" episode. Ummm...hitting the E brake while turning is not a power slide guys. Strike three...I want to like this wanna be mythbusters, but it seems so full of erroneous info, and the real concern is they try so hard to pass this bad info off as legit science, it's kinda a bad thing to be gearing this towards kids, as the info on almost every show I've seen is flawed badly. I'm frankly shocked they were renewed to season two. Although the production costs are probably a go-pro and a home depot credit card. So that explains a lot.I'll give it 3 stars for the effort made to hit their audience with bogus info and poorly strategized experiments.

The guys sell themselves as being clever and scientific, yet on this particular episode where they tried to use a laser equipped putter to guarantee a mini golf hole in one, they failed on several tries due to "the bright sunshine" and they couldn't see the laser lines. They eventually managed it but not because of the cleverness of their technology.Hey guys, did you think of putting easily available and inexpensive dry-ice fog onto the course to help highlight the laser light despite the sunshine? Can you say "duh"? Jeeze, do we have to do all thinking for you? LOL.All the best.Osku Penttinen in Toronto, Ontario.

Hate this show. Just rubs me the wrong way with all their constant namedropping of 'science'. This is nothing more than an excuse to do stupid stunts or destroy stuff. It has only the most insultingly threadbare relationship to anything 'scientific'. "Watch us launch these garbage pails with a homemade catapult. Oh by the way, it's 'scientific' because we (i.e. someone off-camera) used a simple 7th grade math formula to guess where they'd land." What else is there to say? Nothing, but I have to write 10 lines about this show. There's just nothing much to the show to begin with, so it's hard to come up with that much to say. There, finally did it.

Not much to say about this show. Someone decided to rip off Mythbusters, which is fine. However, the show is just not as good. The hosts aren't very interesting. The show is more fluff than anything. The episode where they try to stop a car without brakes is a perfect example. Im not an engineer (but one host is), but I know for a fact that none of the methods were going to work. I also have a feeling the show is a little fake. The episode where they do a beer delivery system, it seems way to fortuitous that a bank's pneumatic system was conveniently available.Its not bad, its just not good. Id rather re-watch an old episode of Mythbusters than this show.
