WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Raphael Esmeijer I watched this show with a bunch of "smart" people, with some of the stupidest ideas ever.. never once have i seen a good working concept developed into an idea. "Smart" people tend to over think things, and that is obvious in this show. there were some good ideas that were dismissed by the also not so smart jury..Even when a good idea gets voted by the jury the execution is soo bad it made me wanna cry and wonder what happened to the good old discovery channel, in times far gone when you learned something by watching this channel.It's really a slap in the the face of actual smart people, don't watch it you will get dumber by the minute..

CherryBlossomBoy I know Kal Penn is just an actor and is not supposed to think, but he was the one that ad-libbed "Who's gonna be the next Steve Jobs?" in the first episode. Or at least the producers should have known better when they decided to use it as a tag in the trailer. Honestly, I thought the show was going to be about finding the best new salesman, because that's what Steve Jobs really was. A salesman. A pitcher. He was excellent at what he was doing and it was indeed important, but innovator he wasn't.But then again, when I saw the first explosion in the trailer, and remembered Jobs' penchant for bombastic presentations, I figured it made all the sense. Because the show isn't about innovators either. It's just a bombastic mixture of "Survivor" and "Mythbusters". It's about blowing stuff up (content) and bickering and kicking people out of the show (format). I guess it might be entertaining up to a point but I never liked the format of "Survivor" so I held up for the first ten minutes of the first episode.Maybe I could've watched for a bit longer but then there was that actor, Penn, irritating as hell. Trying too hard to sell serious attitude with such a dumb look on his face. Maybe it's a camp. And he really shouldn't be ad-libbing things but reading the given lines. Because immediately after calling Steve Jobs an innovator he went on to praise US President for "being all about bringing US back to the forefront of technology and innovations". Guess he didn't realize that the US President is an even bigger pitcher than Jobs was. The only thing he's really about is blowing stuff up and impressing idiots like Penn.

chamberlindj As an engineer, I enjoy this show but feel too much emphasis is placed on a tight schedule. Edison tried many versions of the incandescent bulb until he hit on the working design. The show ought to give the teams time to work out the bugs in their designs. The duck float would have worked if the float material had been changed to closed-cell foam. It was not a "total failure" as the judges called it. I was disappointed in the judges, especially the welding engineer (from MIT no less) that faulted Gui for kicking Dan out when Dan attempted an aluminum TIG weld with no experience. Gui made the right choice. The woman's weld (which Dan smashed) was only a tack weld, and for Dan to compare that to a full weld is wrong, and the judge let it go. If Dan had been more cooperative, the team might have had time to fix the float. Faulting Gui for firing Dan and saying he has to work out the best in people was unjustified. Sometimes, you're better off without someone. Dan's abilities are not so outstanding, either, that it's worth putting up with him. I'm glad he became more agreeable. He must or he'll be totally ineffective.

toddrainer The selection of Dan over Gui for the wildcard was pure, unadulterated politics. It had NOTHING to do with Dan's ability (or lack thereof) to be a good engineer or even a decent human being.Dan's a bully, and you can rest assured that he'd have HATED working for me. He has no place in any environment where he should have any say in any decision that needs to be made, he should be treated like the child he is. And the judges chose to reward his immaturity by giving him the wildcard over one of the best engineers on the show. This isn't a show about engineering, it's a personality contest and reality TV. I saw the selection, stopped watching, deleted the episode and cancelled the recording of the show.I refuse to watch schlock which was what this was.
