Cold Zone

As a Canadian the Hollywood idea of cold is so stupid. People with their coat opened, no gloves, mittens, no snow pants, or even a scarf over their face. And what about their feet?

Plus the cold weather can brake the windows !!!

Yes, I wanted to save as many as I can ... from watching this absolute stinker. So if you've seen "The Day After Tomorrow" you know the general deal. There's really only one difference between the two movies - Tomorrow doesn't want to make you gouge your eyes out with an ice pick.

Having a science background, I am mildly entertained when concepts follow the general laws of physics. Luckily I didn't have to worry here because there was no science to evaluate as nothing made sense. Again and again the laws were broken with clear abandonment. It might have been helpful to have this improve the story, develop a character or idea, but alas no

I don't want to see any of the actors again as none of them performed with any degree of conviction, except maybe the paycheck. I rather pity any of the cast that took shares in the movie in lieu of payment - unlikely they'd have got bus fare.

To make it fair, I gave 1 star for committing this to celluloid, probably against the advice of family, friends and anyone who actually read the script before committing to star in it, and another star for the cast surviving to the end of the movie with straight faces. I've seen better acting in commercials.

The movie doesn't make any sense from beginning to end. The script is crazy bad. At the beginning there was a little bit of action. But every single thing was so obvious. I have to say I like the general idea of the movie I mean that's why I bought it. But the execution was really sad... I really think with a slightly better script and little bit more scientific backup the movie could be a average movie. And also I have to say the visual effects where incredibly bad and unfortunately there were too many of them... also that the ice storm has a sound like a monster in a horror movie I mean come on it's a storm not a monster.

But I have to say are probably worse movies out there so I won't give this movie a 1 Star Review rather a 3 star one.

Film shooting was in southern Alaska, probably in April, not December, as represented.

Snowflakes in the film are large and wet. Thats's warm weather snow. Drastic cold, which is supposedly threatening, lack fluid and is powdery.

No one is properly dressed for the hyper cold, being outside at -40, unprotected, freezes skin, yet these jerks are without gloves and face coverings, etc. As if it was 40 above.

Hey! This is life and death stuff! Hero! Heroine! Mother! Father! Boyfriend! Girlfriend, a coming of age film. A saving the world film.

The writers didn't know what the movie was supposed to be, so they punted...all the way. They should have their pen and paper revoked, permanently.

The writers and actors must have thought it was better to get face time on camera, rather than a sense of reality, on the most basic level of moviemaking.

The father, never having flown a helicopter, pilots through weather so rough, that even a professional pilot would struggle with. At 40 below, one has face covering, gloves, mittens, mukluks, parkas.

Amateurish & unbelievable on every level. Imagine having your tombstone carved with "cast member in "Cold Zone," for the world to see!

This film is literally awful. It follows exactly the subplot of Day after tomorrow. It is not just that the plot follows day after tomorrow, a large amount of the dialogue does as well! Secondly be careful of reviews that have a first name and then a dash "-" and numbers. These are "IMDb pro" accounts where the creation date is scrambled (hence a reviewer whose entire activity is a review of this film yet an account creation date of 8 months ago) and ability to up vote their own reviews multiple times.

The shill reviews amount to a rip-off and people noting them are one of the reasons why IMDb removed its comments section when people started noticing these patterns.
