Venom_81 Ice it's a sci-fi mini series about a future glaciation due to an exploitation of the environment from the mankind. Let's say the story , the script could be interesting, absolutely nothing new but let's say it's the better part of this series. Let's say that on this series there is an actor like Sam Neill (the only one who works fine) and others that are like Claire Forlani (that are absolutely embarrassing as actress definitely better as a model Who doesn't have to speak) so the cast in general is quite terrible. The directing seems quite OK for very low profile series and sometimes it's definitely bad like a south American drama of the 90's. It's a Uk series and you can feel it simply because all the word it's concentrated into the Uk and seems that exists only the Uk, no other nations if you are not considering just the poor immigrants from the rest of the Europe that wants to reach the Uk haven. Come on colonialism finished some times ago, seems a London and Uk style of life commercial. But what bother me more than all it's simply the stupidity of a lots of situations. A couple of examples.. The big frost arrived and all the airport in the north Europe close down, well our heroes takes a small airplane from Iceland and they are able to fly to UK. There is less 40 Celsius degree and there are people dressed as a sunny day in winter..no gloves, no wool bonnet, no scarf..and sometimes they put just a jacket over a Tshirt and they are just above 10 meters of snow. Crazyness. Visual effects are from quite decent to bad but I can say that on this series they are last of the problem. A poor cast, a poor direction and a lot of stupid situations create a recipe for a bad series. Probably the worst i watched in the last years

fharrison55 I really wish I could give this more stars. It does start well but totally loses its way in unrealistic events and actions. Sam Neill is not convincing in this role, he simply grins, smirks and tries to look dastardly but it's classic cardboard cut-out stuff. Stephen Moyer is more convincing.I'm doubly disappointed because I was an extra in this movie shot in NZ. I wanted it to succeed. For your information this was shot as a movie, but clearly the studio thought it was so bad it could only be released as a TV mini-series in the US and then straight to DVD. Extremely limited release as it doesn't work as a film.Report for the director: needs to do a lot better and I agree with the previous reviews.

Vertikal-dk It's too bad that Ice fails so miserably on all fronts when it comes to being in any way convincing. The resources and the potential was there, but were so terribly misused.While watching it tonight I found myself registering unrealistic scenarios and situations rather than watching it as the environmental thriller it was supposed to be. It seems to have had nice resources and both sets and effects are actually OK. Acting isn't great, but on the other hand not worse than seen in many other of these mini-series.But the disaster and its results? A true disaster!One single oil drill puncturing hot vents under the inland ice, which then melts in a matter of hours? Really? Has anybody ever looked at the amount of energy it takes to melt ice? The inland ice on Greenland being kilometers thick and the size of... well, Greenland. I'd say decades rather than hours, even with hot vents.The inland ice cracking like an eggshell. Really? Again... it's kilometers thick. It doesn't crack like inch-thick ice on your local lake.The legal consultant constantly being in the lab and on the drill rig in Greenland and not in some nice, warm office in the center of London? Really? A paper-pusher and desk jockey like her would never need to go there to do her job.The boss of all bosses trying to drive the giant rig on belts out of the danger zone? Really? He might go there to be present during the crisis, but being able to operate the rig... hardly.The professor and the legal consultant examining the ice (what's she doing there at all?) and then swimming under the ice to a nearby hole, and not only surviving that, but also being able to fight off the armed guy wanting to kill them, survive a fall over a cliff on a ski-doo AND walk back to the station through the snow storm at night. And the only damage is a pair of frost-bitten fingers - which get saved by an Asian scientist who BTW is miraculously present with a colleague and rescues them as they crawl "over the edge" of the inland ice. Really?And that's only in the first episode.In the second and final episode London freezes to minus 40 deg. C in a matter of hours and our heroes fly out of the Arctic and to England in a small one-engine plane in a constant blizzard, crash land (conveniently near the M1 just outside London) and crawl out of the shattered and burning plane - unharmed of course - all while the professor's family frees his wife who has been imprisoned in London for being an illegal immigrant, as an American citizen married to a Brit. They of course get trapped under the glacier forming as a result of the "instant ice age". Over them it threatens to flatten the whole building and covers it several floors up, while the same snow leaves the rest of London as a snow covered fairytale landscape with all houses visible. Of course they manage to burn their way out by breaking the gas pipes and setting fire to the gas - using the broken bulb in a flashlight. Really?Meanwhile the professor and the lawyer are walking through snow covered London (in full arctic gear AND snowshoes. They crashed with a plane just before, remember?). The only people they meet shoot at them for no obvious reason. Really?And finally the family slides down the snow on the side of the tall building, chased by an avalanche, but winds up right in Dad's arms. Happy reunion, all alone in London, the 7.5 million Londoners mysteriously gone. The clouds part, the sun breaks through. Let's go south. Really?Really!?Ice is simply so stupid, so exaggerated, so unlikely and so unrealistic that it makes no sense! The only reason I watched it to the end was to get most possible details for this review.Too bad as I said... the resources were there, but were so terribly wasted. Save yourself the agony. Watch something else.

DJ Janssen Well let me start of by saying that i like disaster movies and i can overlook some things that aren't realistic in those kinda movies,but this movie just asked to much of me. A ice age that starts from really hot sunny weather in england to -40 degrees in less then 48 hours. OK i can look past that because i also did it with the movie Day after tomorrow,but the writers and director never ever heard of hypothermia and the effects that it has on a human body,because when people can walk around with jeans and a normal shirt and jacket and wearing no gloves for hours in temperatures of -40 degrees with only a case of really mild shivers just doesn't stick with me and my IQ and is just plain stupid,there is a scene where the climb a solid steel ladder in a elevator shaft with bare hands and it doesn't bother them at all. These are some of the stupid things that are happening during this flick but there are many many more highly illogical happenings that just made my mind spin.I still give this a rating of 5 because the effects where pretty decent for a TV production,the actors did a OK job but try to shut off your brain,because mine started to hurt after a while.
