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*

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.

There is not much to say about this movie, it's dreadful... clearly one of the worst I ever seen in a long time.

It's a cheap copy of "Day After Tomorrow" but the the plot is atrocious and predictable, the special effects are 80's standards (I've seen better cgi in old Star Trek movies).

The acting is beyond poor, hard to describe, maybe a manual on "How not to act properly", but I have to admit that the plot doesn't help much.

There's not a thin shred of scientific validly on anything that goes around. I really can't write much more about it, I kept on watching just to see if somehow it would become better and it didn't.

I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone to be honest.

I don't know that I can add anything more than the other posters. So many inconsistencies. One minute it's pitch black and they can't drive any further, then four scenes later (maybe 45 minutes story time) it's bright as day again. The acting was horrible, I've seen middle school drama clubs do better. And the effects... I don't know anything about filming or computers but I'd bet money I could do a better job. I don't know if the budget was THAT low, or if they knew from the start that it was a crap story and decided to just throw everything together, but the end product isn't really worth viewing in my opinion. Unless you're looking for what not to do when making a film, then I'd say this is a must-see.

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!!
