Ice Storm

Charleybarley was spot on with his review. So stupid and bad, it must be a joke. I watched it because North Carolina was mentioned. I wish I could un-watch it, but if you need a good laugh, this is it. If a zero-star rating was a choice, that's what I would have given it. It doesn't deserve a 1. When I tried to submit this review, I was told that a review must contain 600 words. So, I'll repeat myself. Charleybarley was spot on with his review. So stupid and bad, it must be a joke.

Honestly think it was written by a child and my dog could have created better special effects. Random emotional responses from the actors that had us in hysterics they were so ridiculous. I thought I'd already seen the worst film ever. I was wrong. This is it. If the acting, story line and visual effects were bad, this was only surpassed by the horrendous score. We're still trying to work out whether this is actually a serious film or whether it was made as a joke. Am guessing William Baldwin lost a bet and was forced to do this. Oh and I forgot to mention the ridiculous neoprene suits with the lights making them look like extras from a high school play reenacting Star Trek.

I was looking forward to this film and although I could tell what was happening, this film is full of inconsistencies and unnecessary parts which have no bearing on the disaster in hand. There are tangents all over the place with no context to explain what is going on. Emotions occur out of nowhere seemingly without any cause. There was a lot of over use of big, scientific words that the average person won't necessarily understand which I have never seen in any other film in this genre. It felt like the story was poorly written and overall, probably the worse film I've seen. The acting wasn't even that bad, in fact I would say it was fairly good.

This movie could have been "so bad it's good" like those ridiculous bad CGI gator movies but it's not. The actors take themselves too seriously but they just can't convey emotions. None of them. Sometimes it seems like they don't even know their lines. When they act like they're cold, it reminds me of Joey on Friends. And the "science" part of it is like a Facebook comment section where people are confidently using a lot of big, long words to say essentially nothing.

It's like a crazed killer kidnapped these random people off the street and forced them to play out his stupid script.

A very long, unfunny SNL sketch spoofing disaster movies.

I strongly advise against investing your valuable time in watching this movie. It falls short in numerous aspects, leaving little room for any redeeming qualities. The storyline is poorly constructed, lacking coherence and substance. The performances of the actors are forgettable at best, making it difficult to find any merit in their portrayals. Unfortunately, there is a glaring absence of positive elements throughout the entire film, making it an overall unsatisfactory viewing experience.

Even when attempting to search for a silver lining, it becomes apparent that the film fails to offer anything noteworthy. The absence of redeeming features, coupled with a lackluster script and uninspiring performances, creates an amalgamation of disappointment. It is disheartening to witness a project that seems to lack the basic ingredients of a well-crafted movie.

One cannot help but wonder about the thought process behind the creation of such a subpar piece of cinema. The lack of quality raises questions about the decision-making and creative direction involved in the production. In comparison, it seems conceivable that a group of teenagers, armed with creativity and passion, could produce a more compelling and engaging work.

The utter lack of coherence and quality in this movie prompts a profound reflection on the standards of filmmaking. Viewers are encouraged to explore more worthwhile options, as their time is better spent on productions that offer a meaningful and enjoyable cinematic experience. This film, unfortunately, stands as a testament to what can go wrong when fundamental elements of storytelling and execution are overlooked in the filmmaking process.
