Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
cookingspray ***May Contain Spoilers*** I happen to live in Winnipeg Manitoba where the show has been based for the last 4 years now. Except for our hockey team, The Jets, most people would not be able to point us out on a map. So I am glad we are at least portrayed on a show that is viewed around the world. YES... we get winter. Yes, Ice Road Trucking can be and is dangerous, that is why the money is so good. I have friends who are truckers, so I know a thing or two.Sadly, the only thing keeping me watching this show now are 2 people. Alex & Lisa. To be honest, I think she is the only one bringing us males back to the show year after year. Without a hottie, the show has little left to roll on.We keep seeing the same over dramatized dangers over and over. Believe it or not, Manitoba does have a government department that makes sure that the Ice roads and ice crossings are safe for passage. If the routes were as dangerous as the show portrays, there would be truckers dying by the truckload (pun intended) every year; and another method would be found to get vital supplies to the northern First Nations. They have been talking about using blimps (hey History..there's an idea for a new show). If an ice crossing was as flimsy & dangerous as the show portrays, it would be closed by the Department of Highways. The crossings are tested frequently by government officials. The roads are not nearly as rough as the show seems to make them out to be. Loads would be spilled all over the place, not to mention broken goods delivered on broken suspension systems. What we are seeing are real life truckers becoming actors & drama queens. Also, some very clever editing.So really, somehow despite the danger, every load gets delivered. Even in the spring when the ice is dangerous, it seems they barely make it across with the last load... ice falling apart behind them, but somehow, they always manage to cross it safely again on the return trip home. We are never told how this miracle happens.so... very repetitious and predictable. One final note. Irony is abound that after barely surviving so many brushes with near death on the ice roads, Darrell Ward was killed in a plane crash just before the start of season 10. So what happens to his business partner Lisa now? Does she go it alone? Sell the company? Perhaps..she will steal Steph Custance (the new hottie) from Polar & form an all girl ice road trucking company! I guess we will have to wait until season 11 (yawn) to find out.
CaptainJinks There is absolutely no existing reason known to man to watch this. Why History Channel keeps airing this is beyond me. Typically it revolves around some trucker who drives his vehicle while saying "I'm so scared" in countless verbal variations. Maybe this is very interesting to some, but I really don't get it. Equal shows like Deadliest Catch at least have some pay-off when you get to see the catch. But here? Nothing. It's basically promoted as a show about going down dramatically through the ice. But they never do. So if you really want to see trucks disappearing through a hole in the arctic ice, this is not it. Then it's the music. Fact: dull moments don't become exiting just because you put horror/action-movie music on them. I get that it's inexpensive to produce programs like this. But that's all there is to it, really. And that it's boring. To the point that people with average brain capacity get offended. Please excuse my bad English, I'm angry and Swedish.
robnels2000 There truckers that drive on the frozen lakes, rivers and seas of Northern Canada.It is a vital supply route for diamond mining in the arctic. And it's dangerous.So why does it take 2 seasons to tell us this? I got everything I needed to know about this from the documentary the History Channel did about the man that started the whole thing back in the 60's now.I find it as boring as all other Reality TV.I mean it does take a special person to be able to take the stress and hours required to succeed but they also not very interesting to watch.
mirosuionitsaki2 History Channel is one of my favorite sources for History information that is actually not boring. Ice Road Truckers is not history, but it's a reality show that probably seems like it shouldn't air on the History Channel. But, it still airs on the History Channel. I decided to watch it anyways and I found that this show is very rewarding. It's interesting to see the life of Ice Road Truckers, truckers who truck on ice with convoys. Although, you might think this idea is very uninteresting, it depends on what person you are. If you like reality shows about people who hate each other living together, don't watch this. If you like reality shows about people who have lives, then watch this! What this show is actually about is the lives of Ice Road truckers. These truckers drive on icy roads. It is quite dangerous which brings for quite entertainment that is good. These truckers have a mouth full of trash, so watch out for the bleeping censorship. If you don't pay attention to the bleeping censorship, then you'll be alright.I recommend this show for many people who like reality shows for basically anything.
