GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
flordalisalopez This is my first time watching Spaniard series. Coming from the States (NY), and watching a lot of Mexican novelas, this series was refreshing. At a Latin American, a lot of Spaniard slang, i don't know, I used the English subtitles a lot. It's a science fiction series, but each episode is well made. She character has a unit life of their own. The challenges are pretty unique. I like how the truth slowly unfolds as the series continues. an episode here (US) is normally 45 minutes long. The episodes in el barco are about an hour to 2 hours long. Both my husband and I became very obessed with the series, after long work days, we found ourselves watching Netflix until 3am! I LOVED LOVED the romance between Ulises and Ainhoa. Their chemistry is felt through the screen. I've started to watch more of their work, and I"m happy to see that in "real life" they are a couple (Mario Cases and Blanca Suarez- hope it blossoms for a lifetime). Season 3, wasn't my favorite. The challenges on land make sense, but, i was a bit disappointed with the ending. Gamboa just disappeared, and Burjua. A season 4 could have continued. and was so upset seeing Ulises die, but it was cool to have seen the true love from Ainhoa that committed to him, even after death. It's my first Spaniard series, not like Mexican novelas at all! Very much like America TV. Thumbs up! Days later after nonstop streaming I'm still thinking about the series!
texasboyy Loved the first season, even with its over abundance of telenovela melodrama, but the series started to falter halfway through the second season. Most of the characters and writing weren't interesting enough to maintain interest across several episodes. They started getting redundant, some subplots about relationships carried on way too long, and the day-to-day issues they had to face were just monotonous. Walking Dead has the exact same issues, yet for some reason that clunker is still on the air. The Boat should have focused more on the science fiction aspect of it and wrapped it all up by end of season two (same with Walking Dead BTW). I stuck with it through season three but it was obvious the writers had run out of ideas. The cheap cliffhanger they threw in during the last episode was just weak too. If you want to see this, just watch season one and skip the rest. First season also has some interesting scenes with female nudity which vanished in later seasons.
Mikunitk Pathetic show in every sense, they attempt to rip off other shows with a mix of Lost and Stargate-Universe themes and fail miserably.What should be a struggle for survival feels more like a walk in the park. 40 people stuck on a ship in the sea, with apparently unlimited food, fresh brand drinks like Coke, sweets and cookies, medical supplies comparable to a full fledged hospital, carpentry and electronic tools and supplies, make up, dresses for weddings and carnival, unlimited power, with everyone looking fresh and happy as if they are on a holidays cruise rather than a post-apocalyptic world where most of the population and land/cities are gone; you see their breakfast tables everyday with stuff you would find on a 5-star hotel dining hall, with all sort of brand foods which the actors even mention fondly as is typical with Spanish series.Pathetic acting except maybe 1 or 2 who do just short of average. Most of the dialogue is beyond pathetic, nonsense and lacks any kind of rational thought that you would expect from a human.Special effects worse than a 10 year-old kid could accomplish with Photoshop and After effects. You see stuff like volcano ashes erupting from the sea which look no better than a show from the 70's, and in most other scenes they simply skip forward.. there is this scene where a tsunami is about to hit them: they show the incoming wave for a brief moment before it hits the ship, and next you are back in the ship with everyone alright and the danger gone, everything has passed..Half the show is also riddled with nonsense romance plots without any feeling or development whatsoever, with people going through various different partners and talking as if they'd been together for years. Humorous scenes every moment as well, killing any chance of drama or suspense.Apparently for the writers it is normal that a guy suddenly goes talk to his daughter's new guy right in the middle of a shooting with the bad guys, they are rampaged by bullets from outside a house by 20 guys, and he goes talk to the guy "oh hey erm about my daughter".. really? Oh and you can survive 4 bullets to the chest while you are even in the water. And cold-blooded criminals murdering girls for no good reason are treated as if they were actually good people and nothing ever happened.There is so much more to say, I almost have no words to describe what an insult this show is to other series with similar plots. Maybe it's actually worth it to watch if you are in for a laugh at just how pathetic it is.
Chris Art I can't believe they just told us the end instead of playing it in a episode. Such a rush and short work on the most wanted and important moment - the finale. All these time we were waiting for the culmination. There are so many scenes which are filled with children's games or discussion but there wasn't actually a final episode. One of the best shows, great idea but why such a fast end in which we see nothing of what we waited for. How Ulises escaped from the hotel and got to the beach, where he took the things in the wooden box he dropped with the parachute, where the air plain got from how he survived the 4 bullets? We did not see the happy life of Barbuha and Marimar on the island, he deserved this. We did not see the meeting between Gamboa and his daughter and the moment she understand that he is her father? What happens with the other ships from the project? Do they ever reach the coast? What actually happen with the people from the hotel? What happens on the submarine and how Barbuha plays his role there? What happens with Alexander and his plans? They just told us what is in the red folder with one sentence?? I'm very disappointed with the finale.
