This movie has a lower production value and worse acting than adult films.

It's possibly the worst movie I've seen in recent memory.

Every single aspect of film making was executed at a homemade level.

Even the lighting looked like it was rigged with house lamps and the color temperature reminded me of Sony Handycam's.

Terrible, absolutely horrendous acting. I'm not kidding, children in school plays often act better than this.

Worst story, character arcs, and screen writing that I think I've ever seen. No one who worked on this movie should be allowed back into movie production.

Movies like this don't deserve to be made. It was a waste of money and time, and it's an embarrassment on their careers.

Heavily flawed attempt to make a show that's as good as Alone.

No one knows how to start a fire or properly process kindling in a wet environment. They could have all put some in their pockets and their body heat would have dried it better than that.

They don't know how to choose shelter locations, choosing cold sinks, aka, locations where cold air naturally sinks and stays.

They made poor use of the surrounding geography, very amateur, boy scout-like shelters.

They're bad at locating, filtering, and boiling water.

They're bad at foraging.

The one trap they showed was terrible, it wouldn't work and it showed a lack of understanding of the fundamentals of trapping. There's a reason 22 gauge wire is the most common, and when you don't have wire, and the cordage is soft and flexible, that's when you have to add tension and a trigger mechanism, like a spring pole.

This show already looks like it would have been better if, instead of using the excuse of wanting diverse contestants but ending up getting clueless people who aren't entertaining to watch... maybe hire a single expert, aka someone with real credentials like having gone to BOSS, and vet the contestants for basic skills.

Even the contestants here who claim to have hunting and fishing experience, and more, clearly didn't apply those skills in a survival setting. It's super easy to use modern hunting gear, sit in a metal stand, etc. Not easy to spot and stalk at less than 25 yards, average, in dense woods.

I'm positive that a single boy scout knows more than these adult "survivalists" who lack basic skills like knots, carving, fire starting, shelter building, locating and boiling water, and more.

It's a success if the point of this show is to prove that even people who are convinced they have outdoor skills because they went camping a lot or grew up hunting, really don't know anything and clearly haven't even read a single book on it.

But for those of us who are aching for another show like Alone, or even a better version. For those of us with as many outdoor skills as a 12 year old child, we're once again let down.

The most boring documentary I've ever seen, loaded with bland, empty shots that last three times longer than necessary and lack context or information, while no investigating was done, no information is provided at any time, there's no narrative, and there isn't even evidence these men are lonely per the synopsis...

This is more like random clips from trips to meet interesting people that completely wasted the opportunity to learn about them and how they live.

Presumably the "director" wanted the content to speak for itself except the end result is a movie that seems like it wasn't directed at all.
