The Tribe Audience Reviews

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Derek Sherlock (deadrock-20572) I have to admit that there are times when the acting can be a bit cheesy, however I can over look it due to the impact on my life it has had. This was a show I watched briefly back in 2004 here in America on WAM! which was an Encore sub-channel. The basic plot of the story is that in this world in which all of the adults were wiped out from a virus and the only people left alive are children and teenagers. The show centers around a tribe called The Mallrats who are trying to make a better world for everyone even through all of the horrors. Some of the actors and actresses were on various other shows such as Xena, Hercules, a slue of Power Rangers series and most recently Fear of the Walking Dead. This is a great program in my opinion, again mostly due to the impact it has had on my life, worth watching since you are able to watch it on YouTube now since the only other way is to buy out of print imports.
fran-tasy If I started watching this show today, as an adult, I would most likely consider it total trash. The acting is incredibly hard to bear at times (there are a few exceptions of course, but most of the actors could have used some serious acting classes); costumes, hair and make-up are insane (for lack of a better word); the music borders on annoying and the plot holes are big enough to swallow a fully grown person. Thankfully, there aren't any of those left in the world of The Tribe.Eight-year-old me however could not have cared any less about all this. The show is a part of my childhood that still gives me this weirdly fuzzy, nostalgic feeling to this day. I remember re-enacting the show on the schoolyard with my friends and always being excited to come home after school to watch the latest episode. So, try as I might, I cannot bring myself to rate this any lower than 8/10. Doing so would be a betrayal of all these great memories I associate with The Tribe. This is eight-year-old me taking a stand.
mddawson I bought the first series based on the rave reviews I had read. I was looking for another quality kids sci-fi show like Spellbinder or The Girl From Tomorrow. I was sadly mistaken with The Tribe as it is pure soapy with a slight sci-fi twist. The writing is mediocre, the acting is often appalling and the music sucks big time. After watching a dozen episodes I began to wish the virus had taken the kids out as well. I find it hard to believe that this series has managed to survive five seasons whilst quality productions such as Firefly only managed 14 episodes.My advice is if it comes on your TV, change channels.
shortQt I was flipping through channels one day, when i came across The Tribe. I was going to change the channel because my first impression was "this is stupid" but the strange characters, hairstyles, and clothes kept me watching and drew me in. I got hooked right away and have been watching ever since! It is just so captivating with the things the kids go through, some real life situations, some unreal! Here in America we finished the 4th season and i hope they start playing the 5th really soon!
