Siberian Apocalypse
Siberian Apocalypse
This astounding documentary delves into the mysteries of the Tunguska event – one of the largest cosmic disasters in the history of civilisation. At 7.15 am, on 30th June 1908, a giant fireball, as bright the sun, exploded in the sky over Tunguska in central Siberia. Its force was equivalent to twenty million tonnes of TNT, and a thousand times greater than that of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. An estimated sixty million trees were felled over an area of over two thousand square kilometres - an area over half the size of Rhode Island. If the explosion had occurred over London or Paris, hundreds of thousands of people would have been killed.

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.

A gorgeous film. The scenes of the Cayman Islands are lush and inviting. The story has an expected outcome but nevertheless is quite pleasing in its development. The conflict between the big city slicker who tries to lure a second-rate actor with a failing TV series into duping the locals into parting with their beautiful natural land is true to form. How our hero has a change of heart is the core of the plot. His turnaround is what drives the film, nobly aided by the raw beauty of the Islands. The camera work and sound track add extra oomph to this film. There are some surprises that add to the film's novelty. I was very impressed with the stunning color and want to go to the Cayman Islands "in person". I want to be a part of nature as it exists there. I think that is the strength of this film. It's a feel good movie for all ages.

I am a chick who tends to avoid joyful, non-violent films but I did and would again and again make an exception for Cayman Went.I saw Cayman Went at the AMC Empire 25 in Times Square over the weekend and am going back to see it again tonight. There is something so intriguing to me about this film.The story follows the hottie hero Michael Lombardi who is a flailing TV star on the brink of losing his show. He is solicited by the magnate who owns the network to convince some Cayman Brac locals to sell their land to the magnate for development in to a mega-resort. After spending some time with the locals, our hero hooks into the island lifestyle and learns a lot about himself and those around him along the way.The serenity of the Cayman Brac beaches, the underwater landscapes, the eye-catching hero and the chemistry he has with the female lead, the charisma of Jeffrey Demunn, the adorableness of the film's child star, the upbeat soundtrack, the subtle message of the film...it somehow all comes together for me.Enjoy!

I just saw this at the DGA in Hollywood and was impressed on how well the mellow spirit of the islands flows thru the picture. The pacing is easy, the story moves steady, mon, and it is a lovely tale of an actor who's terrible television show is loved by the populace of the beach shack culture in the Cayman Islands - and the transformation he undergoes when forced to sit and stay a while in the ecological paradise that big business wants to develop into another faceless resort.This pro-environment chick flick is sweeter than sugar cane and more intoxicating than island rum. Mike Lombardi carries the picture and is not off camera for more than two minutes throughout. His chiseled good looks - a brunette Dennis Leary crossed with Bob Denver's Gilligan - are easy to believe as the narcissistic actor. The transformation he undergoes to save the way of life in one small part of the unspoiled Caymans is believable and uplifting.But Lombardi's character needs prodding to transform and it comes from a local landowner (Jeffrey DeMunn) and an environmentally conscious love interest (Susan Misner). In the long- lost style of mid-century love stories, a strong woman shows a man how to be vulnerable. Yes, you may think you have seen it a hundred times before, but the real star of this love story is the Cayman Islands themselves, lush tropical paradise where just enough does not happen that you discover yourself amidst the beauty.
