Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Pro: A completely blind competition is an interesting idea.

Con: There's no story here. No characters. No tension. And it's impossible to believe that a group of ten thousand ignorant savages would, in just weeks, reconstruct technology that took thousands of years of trial and error to develop.
