Movie Reviews

Minneapolis Star Tribune - 8/10 by Colin CovertLike many advocacy documentaries, it offers a one-sided argument. This time, however, it's advanced by people who spent much of their lives on the opposite side.
Austin American-Statesman - 8/10 by Jane SumnerWith glaciers melting, seas rising and superstorms in the wings, Pandora's Promise, despite its one-sided polemics, revives a desperately needed conversation.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by David JenkinsRobert Stone's fascinating documentary makes a convincing case for a nuclear future.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Bill Stamets[This] timely documentary is less persuasive about translating logic into political and economic reality.
Variety - 7/10 by John AndersonSome parts of the film are drily academic, but much of it is quite beautiful and artfully put together by the director.
Austin Chronicle - 7/10 by Louis BlackAn amazing argument no matter which side of the debate you favor, Stone’s film manages to restock and bring a fresh voice to an old controversy. The documentary is well-made and articulately argued, although that doesn't mean it isn't going to have as many adversaries as champions.
The A.V. Club - 7/10 by Ben KenigsbergThe most counterintuitive enviro-doc of the year, Pandora’s Promise makes the case that nuclear power may be the closest thing Earth has to a sustainable, realistic supply of energy.
Contactmusic.com - 7/10 by Rich ClineIt's a shame so few people see documentaries, and that so few politicians pay them any attention, because this film has the power to change the way we think about nuclear energy.
Newsday - 7/10 by Verne GayIntelligent, possibly important, definitely counterintuitive -- but needs more reporting and context.
3AW - 7/10 by Jim SchembriAn A-grade exercise in myth-busting...Consciously counter-intuitive, Pandora's Promise is a challenging, sober film that provides much food for thought as it dares to de-demonise nuclear power.
