WiseRatFlames An unexpected masterpiece

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Nicole 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.

MovieAddict2016 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.

jpp2 Peter Benchley's Amazon was out of place, lost on television. Stranded in the jungle of do-anything-for-ratings it was a beautiful haunting opera lost on the astonished savages, singing its epic of homelessness in the pouring rain. Thus cancellation after one brief brilliant amazing season. The darkness comprehended it not. The words have been lost.To understand Amazon you must first live it. You have to be a member of the Ghost Tribe when holy war comes before you can wonder who are the savages. You have to be a man dying of middle age before the spell of Prudence can save your life. You have to be the son of missionaries to know what it means to be a child of promise. You have to be homeless to want to go home.The Amazon is a place of life and death, an exuberant burst of biology, a cathedral of divine survival. The lost meaning of Amazon can be discovered in the study of biology, and in the peculiar biology of the human mind, that wilderness of light and darkness and survival where the words infect, spread, become lost, and finally turn up in the arms of the person who is holding the arms.Congratulations to everyone who was involved in the show for a job very well done!

quite_clumsy 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!!

Bluefly I thought Amazon would be a cool survival show, but it turned out to be a little on the boring side. The continuing plotlines seem to be recycling themselves: crocodiles, warring natives, sadly missed attempts at rescue. I couldn't sympathize with any of the irritating characters except the boy, Will. I just kept wishing they would get rescued and get it over with.Amazon's just not a fun show to watch. They're obviously using the naked Italian lady as a ratings ploy, since nothing else about the show is very attractive to anyone. In my opinion, Amazon's sister show on UPN, Relic Hunter, is a lot more exciting.
