User Reviews

Great seeing Parker Stevenson as a leading man in a show with so much potential to be a terrific series!

It is always great to see a show where they have current scientific knowledge and research combined with ancient mysteries, good drama and fine performances. Those things made this an excellent and entertaining movie.

It was especially wonderful seeing Parker Stevenson as a leading man again! I also was happy to see he was one of the executive producers.

I hope they will turn this into a weekly series, or a series of made-for-TV films, so we can enjoy Parker (and this show) all the time.

The premise for this show has a lot of potential for good, intricate plots combined with great adventure and special effects. If this show becomes a series, and continues in this vein, it will be one I'll look forward to week after week!
