2012: Ice Age

We watch a lot of movies - and I exaggerate not here. I would comfortably say we average two to three new films per day. Yay for the internet! So, understandably, we get our fair share of bad movies.

The best thing I can say about this film is that I didn't shut it off midway. Perhaps I was curious at what point it would get worse, or maybe I was holding out for some glimmer of authenticity. Sadly, it only got worse as it progressed.

The special effects were pathetic. With all the tech available for free download, this could have been way better. Plausibility? Of course, with any "disaster" genre flick, you have to suspend reality at some point so as not to throw the plot vehicle off the road - but this went beyond suspension - it was more like some horrible whacked out nightmare complete with somewhat incoherent sequences and sudden strange happenings that make no sense at all. Nothing is ever explained, probably because most things can't be since they are just impossible.

You can see all the base elements of the story ripped right from "The Day After Tomorrow", but the fun stops there.

So - I won't pick on specific scenes or elements (ha ha) so as not to spoil the film (errr... yeah.), but lets just leave it at... I didn't shut it off.

If you want a good disaster film, I would definitely look elsewhere, because this disaster is not the "Giant Glacier", its the whole movie itself. So bad its not even funny. *sigh*

This is without doubt the worst of the worst films ever. I have never laughed so much, my eyes were streaming with laughter tears all the way through it.

When the big 6'6" guy full of muscles tried mugging the 5'0" skinny runt guy for his coat I just fell to pieces with laughter, what was he going to do, blow his nose with it.

To be honest I think the director has hit on a great format for future entertaining films, it was so bad I couldn't stop watching it. I didn't think it was possible to act that bad, the actors are either amazingly brilliant or absolutely the worst ever, it is quite hard to make up my mind which.

I thoroughly recommend this film to anyone that has a good sense of humour and is in need of a really good laugh.

It is without doubt the most entertaining film I have seen in a long time but not for all the reasons that the director would have hoped.

the acting, no wait, it's the directing, no, it's the effects. Grr, I can't decide.

I usually enjoy the cheap disaster movies but this one is so bad there are no words that do it justice.

The best thing about this movie is reading here what others have said. At least I got some laughs. But the funniest thing is seeing 35 votes for it as a 10 star movie, that is just hilarious. I can only assume everyone who worked on this movie voted 10 though given the number of names in the credits I think the rest of them must be hiding in shame.

I sincerely hope if anyone made money from this waste they gave it to charity because it certainly wasn't earned.

This has got to be one of the worlds worst movies of all time… The main characters specifically the dad and mom have got to be the worst actors ever….and the director needs his a** kicked..so many screw ups and the editing is a nightmare…one minute the family is on a snow covered road with no traffic then they get a phone signal and pull over on a non snowy road with traffic going by them….just one of the many many things…....I mean the storyline is a good one but the they should at least cast actors that ...well....can actually act......

I think I could have edited this better with Windows movie maker.....complete trash!!

I have just endured "2012: Ice Age" and, as suggested above, I feel that I have wasted my time. Don't get me wrong, some of the scenes in it were quite cool; it's just a pity that they were ripped from other films! The acting was stilted, the dialogue was inane, the casting was what I can only presume as being last minute (I mean, really! Would the son's attitude have been more appropriate if he had been 7 instead of 17???) and the FX were very trapped in the early part of the last decade. If I had a choice between watching this movie again with the associated risk of my brain melting out through my ears to avoid the trauma of "2012: Ice Age" or being caught under a glacier, I would gladly strip to my tighty-whitey's and dive underneath that big boy.

Please, don't insult your intelligence as I have just done. Avoid this movie like it was your mother-in-law.
