Wordiezett So much average
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Blulite I have searched for 3 years to find a copy of this movie for sale on DVD or VHS, anywhere on the internet after I could not get it on Amazon. Twice money was taken and then refunded, after nothing was available, does anyone know where it can be bought? I really, really want to buy this movie, I thought it was great when we saw it on ABC when it premiered, it seemed like it was a 3 hour movie, but it was not that long, and a few things really stand out, like the frozen palm trees in L.A. or Ice hard packed buried up to top lines of clay tile roofs. I understand you can view it on the Sci-Fi Channel, but that channel is not offered on our lineup, so I cannot get it from that source.
Chromium_5 I was actually impressed by this. It's nothing spectacular, of course, but it's better than a lot of stuff in the apocalyptic genre that makes it to the big screen. Well-paced, well-acted (although the characters are slightly annoying), and good FX; you can't ask for much more than that. Plus I found the idea of people in LA faced with an ice age amusing.My main complaint is that the details of the weather change are abrasively inaccurate. I doubt any Hollywood person actually knows what cold weather is like. I had the same problems with the recent "Alien vs. Predator," where the characters apparently don't need anything more than a light jacket to stay warm and toasty in Antarctica. Here, we have people walking around in negative 60 degree weather without hats or gloves on, and they are perfectly fine (seriously, they'd be dead in five minutes). The thing that irritated me most was when two people came indoors after being outside in the frigid cold, obviously about to die, and yet they are still able to dexterously move their fingers. Give me a break. At that point they wouldn't even HAVE fingers.Well, personal complaints aside, it's not a bad film, and I suppose it is a notable addition to the mediocre natural disaster genre.6/10 stars.
Michael O'Keefe If not mistaken I think this is a Sci-Fi Network original. A story kind of silly, but provoking. Reality is doubtful. The earth becomes a deep freeze in a modern Ice Age after the sun develops numerous sunspots. Sunny California within two days looks more like the South Pole with frigid temps well below zero. LAPD officer Grant Show with the aid of a petty criminal(Flex Alexander)he recently put in jail leads a small group of people that includes his girlfriend, son, ex-wife and her recent husband to possible safety. Joined by the scientist(Udo Kier),who discovered this catastrophe, the small group are hopeful to find safety near the Equator region which seems to be as far south as the frigid temps reach. Snow of course is the main scenery and tempts you to grab a blanket. For some reason my favorite scene is when The President(Art Hindle) is prompted to leave D.C., but only after respecting a painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware.Also appearing are: Eva LaRue, Audie England and Diego Fuentes. Although the story line being quite contrived, ICE none the less is able to hold your interest. Grant Show is still as bland an actor as he was on TV's Melrose Place.
nilslaike This movie, Ice, is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is very exciting. The movie is also realistic, you may not think so, but it is. There are some scientists, they mean that the ice age is coming and that SOON. If you think of that when you see the movie you will be a little scared. The actors are also very good, I think. The special effects are good to. The snow is everywhere in Los Angeles, and in Hollywood, and in London, and in Rome, it seems to me that it is real snow, it is very much snow. And I am living in Sweden, so I know what I am speaking of, here is very cold and often snow.See this movie, you will not be disappointed, I promise.
