Crappy film

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Great show full of suspense, it really needs to be renewed as the last episode was a cliff hanger. If it doesn't get renewed I will be very disappointed as this show is way better that most of the trashy bubble gum series that keep going on. To the writers, film crew and actors... great job on the first 11 episodes! Holding thumbs for the renewal. To the critics... common, look at the overall rating so far and let this show get its rightful renewal because the other rubbish most of the critics put through are mindless and quite frankly that doesn't say much about the profession of a critic if they don't get the public demanding an intelligent plot.

In 1908, an unexplained event occurred deep in the remote Siberian territory of Tunguska. Now, a hundred years later, sixteen reality-show participants descend on Tunguska unknowing of the land's mysterious past. These contestants, from varied walks of life, will attempt to battle the elements and each other in a quest to survive the harsh winter and claim a large cash prize. What is initially met with unbridled enthusiasm quickly turns to sheer panic as a series of strange events begin to occur. The contestants soon attribute the occurrences to ruses set up by the producers, even dismissing the death of a fellow contestant as accidental. When a contestant is badly injured and no help arrives, the contestants meet the chilling realization that the strange occurrences are not part of the show. With their safety threatened, competing contestants must band together in an effort to survive.If anyone mistook this for an actual reality show in the beginning, they can be forgiven. The premise and execution is a Lost meets Survivor kind of thing. The characters are quite nuanced at times and most of the actors are believable as 'real contestants' on a 'reality show'. It took me a couple of episodes to warm up to it after which I decided to forget about the illogical camera angles and the number of camera crew it would require to actually shoot the way they did. This was surprisingly good, but the last episode (which was trimmed down from 2 episodes because of the network at the last moment) didn't have a payoff. Still, the monsters, the green sky in the night, the flattened forest among others, will all be memorable even if the show isn't renewed for a second season. It has been one hell of a ride and if it does get renewed (highly improbable), then I'd recommend Siberia to people who are into this stuff. If it doesn't get a season 2, then don't bother with it. Its not a great show, some stupid stuff does tend to happen, but its at a bare minimum and its decent entertainment which gets better as it progresses.7/10

I had never heard much about this show - which should have tipped me off, but I stumbled across it while flipping through OnDemand and figured I'd give it a chance. I made it through half the first episode before I figured out it was all crap. This was underscored several times by the actions of the cast. One of the biggest give-aways was the oh so typical movie "mouth full of oatmeal puke" spewed by one of the cast members after having a finger shoved down her throat.Now, I have to state for the record, I HATED Lost. It, too, was a total waste of my time. This show has been compared to that which might explain why I hate it as well. I think had the show actually been 'real', with contestants actually trying to survive in Siberia (instead of Canada), it would have been much more interesting. Just another show made to make producers wealthy and keep the sheeple focused on drivel vs anything substantial. The only reason I gave it two stars is because some of the female cast members aren't awful to look at. It's pathetic that something so shallow and degrading is the only single thing I can find as a reason someone would watch this mess.Oh, and on a side note, someone needs to track down the annoying actress that plays Esther and stab her with a Buick.

The acting of this show is so-so, nobody is going to win Emmy or some other award, it wasn't bad as well, it was something you would expect from the actors you never heard off. But the show itself, I absolutely loved it! Yes, it has many unsolved mysteries in its plot line, but I think that makes it worthwhile watching. The whole ambient of the setting is awesome, dark, cold, secretive, the ghost town was a nice touch to the overall plot. I couldn't wait to see the next episode and I am hoping they bring us the second season, it would be a shame they left like this. There are way too many unanswered questions, I already felt that the first season missed another ten episodes for the viewers to find out at least some part of the storyline.
