Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

It took several episodes; at least half way before I warmed to the characters and felt like I couldn't miss watching it to see what would happen to them.Each episode contained elements that looked as though they had to mean something, but most of these turned out to be loose threads, which was very unsatisfying.It's hard to believe that any viewer actually thought this was a genuine reality show, because the acting was so wooden from everyone until they began to relax after the series was more than half over - the final few episodes are definitely the best. Initially though all the actors were trying so hard to be 'noraml' and not to act in their attempt to seem like regular people that they over-played it, so the show came across as an obvious fake from the start.However, this didn't spoil it for me, because the concept and the sense of impending peril combined with the continuous addition of unexpected elements, plus every character having hidden flaws that would occasionally be revealed made the show very compelling and interesting.The fact that it ended so abruptly was terrible. I hate it when a series doesn't return for a new season - this one was surely worth the money - it's much better than Lost and many other similar shows.

WARNING: CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILERS.Siberia started out to much confusion on the part of the viewers; many people thought it was a reality show, and upon seeing episode 1, thought it was a "scripted" reality show. In actuality Siberia is a found footage sci-fi show that's heavily based on Siberian folklore about the so-called "Valley of Death."The premise is about a reality show gone wrong. Contestants think they're going to compete for $500,000, but instead are abandoned by the production of the show and forced to survive, while the original reality-show cameramen film everything that happens. When things cross over from survival to supernatural, the contestants begin to question if the reality show was ever really intended to be a reality show. They meet a tribe of natives, find a research base, deal with the Valley's strange supernatural inhabitants, and are hunted by a band of military folk.The show is filled with many twists and turns that seem to throw you into a pit of confusion. In the last few episodes of Season 1, almost questions are answered. The last minute of the first season throws you back into the crazy confusion of Siberia.

Eleven episodes in and no one (including some supremely intelligent people writing posts about the show in the forum) has the SLIGHTEST IDEA what is going on.I would say as a Cliffhanger/Keep 'em Watching type show, that Siberia is a 100% success.With all the garbage that is on TV/Cable these days: Junkyard Wars, Pawn Battles, My Daughter is Pregnant and So am I, the dozens of cookie cutter competition shows, the ONE SHOW that requires one to think a bit is undeservedly falling of the ratings ladder.Well, look at it this way: The original Star Trek was a bomb when it was presented. The Odd Couple (many times voted the greatest sitcom of all time) never made it into the top 20 (I think).If Siberia is not renewed, I will be sad, and hopefully will be able to buy the DVD/Blu Ray sometime soon.P.S. Hey, viewers of this page: write a review and kick up the "stars"

I watched the show from day one and I have really enjoyed it. I have recently started to watch NBC after I got bored of CBS. Siberia sounded like a great show. It made you asking different questions and making you wanting to see the new episode right NOW! I really loved this show because it was different from most shows I have watched and I pray and beg NBC to bring it back. I really wish they don't cancel this show or I'm done with NBC because they have canceled to many of my favorite shows. The acting stinks and that's the only thing that separates me from thinking is it fake or real. The first episode was kinda sketchy but, later on the series has made me into a fan. I also just love the twists and plots very creative. Thank you for this show. Keep it on NBC.
