Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
butcheredentrails The premise for the show is interesting.But the Host and central figure (besides the Astronaut Gordon Cooper) is Darrell Miklos. A man who is in need of some help from various people to proceed with his plan to find sunken treasure ships...This man is a terrible communicator. Within the first 2 episodes he must ask the help of 2 people, and the way he approaches his request for help is so faltering and coming from the wrong direction that it's no wonder he is not successful.I am not done this series and am not sure whether I shall continue...
kchiasson-77464 It is yet another over-glorified, over-hyped reality TV show. What else would you expect from Discovery network?As others have mentioned, you could easily condense the content into 1 or 2 episodes. There is so much repetition, that I feel like I'm being taken on an 'idiot ride' and I can't take any of it seriously. Especially the mapping from space, using such old technology to detect underwater objects from very far away, while traveling at high velocity.Search for written documentation instead of this time-wasting trash and watch something else on NatGeo, for example.
Edward Williams I love a good treasure show. This is panning out to be a very interesting one.I'm only a few episodes in, and from the trailers I see the Dad seems to get more involved later on.However until then... OK so the relationship with the dad is strained. The dad is obviously his own person. So he didn't have time to play baseball with the son, sometimes dads are snowed under, rightly or wrongly, trying to provide for their family, build a legacy for their family etc.The dad obviously was friends with Cooper first. Without speaking to the father for several years the son turns up with a camera crew, and doesn't make any great effort to not let the conversation deteriorate into an argument. We only really hear one side of the story thus far.Aside from the daughter in law slating the father on public television, then the son turns up at the fathers yet again, trying to get hold of the master chart.Yet again, no appeasement. No bridge building. No meeting halfway. Just gimme, like a spoiled brat.This scene is very telling. The father opens with basically 'if you'd come to me in the beginning we could have done this together'.The son doesn't go to the father and say, hey, I know we have had our differences but how about we work on this together? Or, how about I split any findings with you, in return for your input of the master chart. Or, I could use your help - as a gesture of respect. No, he starts banging on about how Gordon was a father figure to him. What a dork.Bottom line, the master chart IS the property of the father. If you can't build bridges with the father, or even show a modicum of respect to another man, then you don't deserve the chart. If that were my son I wouldn't have given it to him.The father drops clanging hints all through the conversation - "you can't play monopoly without the board"... "money is not as easy to get as it used to be"... "we could have done this together". The son seems to have his head so far up his a** and so determined to follow his own bitter selfish path all of this is going over his head. In the end the father gives the son the chart because basically the guy grows weary of keep having to talk to this guy. I don't blame him.Who goes to their father after not speaking to him for years and says hey, I want you to give me something for nothing, and by the way you suck. Not literally, but in his general attitude.Cooper gave the master map to the father, and the individual files to the son. Cooper obviously knew the situation between the father and son. The son suggests that Cooper 'would have told his father to give him the master chart'. Well, I expect if Cooper wanted the son to have the master chart he was perfectly capable of giving it to the son himself, with the rest of the files.Strikes me that Cooper gave half of the docs to the father, half to the son. Probably in the hope that them working together on a nice project might build bridges between them.The father is painted to be the bad guy (so far), I ain't buying it. If I was the father I would have thrown him out too.
intrepidami If this guy was so close to Gordon Cooper that they shared a man cave together, and upon his death he received this large bundle of documents from Gordon, why would Gordon leave the most vital parts out so you had to scavenge them? It doesn't add up. A more likely scenario is upon Gordons death, he rushed over and grabbed the documents that were lying around and that's why the best, most vital part is missing! Because that wasn't lying around their man cave for him to scarf up.I'll tell you what is legitimate treasure, the stuff he rifles through in Gordons garage! Those items in that garage are potentially worth millions! If his wife was smart she'd auction off the contents of that garage on EBAY! That would be quite a sum, I'm sure! I'll bet the US government might even want to throw in a $100,000,000 to keep that stuff away from the public.As far as all this data from 1963 that was probably the best then, but the Earth is now surrounded in space by 1000's of Satellites with really modern high powered cameras, so these maps, if even legit are comparable in quality to what they can see nowadays to you getting excited about having an Early Cell phone that came with a large box beneath it and cost $3 a minute to make a call on. And a little kid walks by holding a galaxy 8 and laughs at you.I'm was sure MODERN treasure hunters do use satellite imagery and I looked it up and Viola.. https://www.gislounge.com/using-landsat-imagery-find-shipwrecks/ What do you know, they did and do! So basically...this is all romanticized hooey!
