I have watched a few American Versions of the show, and find the questions pretty easy to answer, but interestingly, I have missed a few of the 90 , 80 and 70% questions, and I feel strongly that it boils down to what a person "sees" when the question is posed. I've answered most of the questions in the show correctly overall. ON the 1% question, I've been right 2 times and wrong 2 times, and both of the times I was wrong, I figured out the writers' intent, but could NOT answer in time. That's frustrating because 30 seconds is NOT a lot of time to digest the meaning of the question, and then analyze, and finally to get it down in writing. I read recently that they actually get about a minute to answer when taping the show, and THAT makes a lot of sense, because this host, Patton is yapping virtually the whole time that the contenstants are trying to figure out the answer(s). Many of the questions are word tricks or number tricks, and if you cannot figure out the writers' intent, you will fail the answer, which IMHO does NOT offer a true reflection of one's IQ or overall intelligence. The show advertises that EVERYONE is equal on the show, and that they don't need training or education but clearly there are questions that require Math Skills or Verbal and Spelling Skills or you will FAIL the questions. It's somewhat entertaining, but I do not feel it's a good measure of how smart someone is, and more about ability to see patterns, or through what the show's writers are trying to get you to "see".

Dominion: Jurrassic Park meets "Raiders of the Lost Ark". I wanted to love this film but while it has its moments, It's mostly a boring underdeveloped plot interlaced with a parade of chase scenes, one after another, some of which are completely unbelievable (yes they are still suspenseful), but the movie wears the viewer out with predictable hold on to your seat action. Predictable because the audience clearly knows and understands that the main characters are likely NOT to be killed whilst under attack by the dinosaurs. Parts of the film reminded me of the the Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I won't add any spoilers here. Simply remember this comment when watching and I am confident that you will pick up my meaning! Did I like the movie? Yes. Was it a great "sit"? No. Sorry. While I like many leaving comments and/or reviews of the film have said, ...the CGI is predictably getting better and better over time. This means that the realism of these scenes is/are improving at the cinematographic level,yes of course.
