Cold Zone - Minaccia Ghiacciata

I wish there was a zero. This has to be the worst film I have ever watched. The packaging looks good enough to buy. Ops...I did. The plot was written buy a 3 year old and the best bit of acting was the dead blackbird. In the end I watched it just to pick faults of which there are many. Please don't be fooled by the first 3 minutes, it goes down hill quicker than the Titanic.

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 !!!

Not much to say about this one, Family holiday gets ruined by mini ice age caused by manmade global warming that was predicted by scientist who has a petty party and hides in the woods. We have the standard family with an annoying teenager with Daddy issues that you get in most family holiday / disaster movies, you know the one, who you hope gets chopped quickly. The plot is so close to day after tomorrow that I'm surprised the makers haven't been in court yet. All good predictable end of the world stuff, improved by the use of locations with real snow, and some not too bad CGI. Shame they couldn't find an original script though.

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.

.... and that it is what it's like going through when watching this.

I know we are currently suffering extremes of weather, which the producers of this film are exploiting, but this is a bit over the top, the "special effects" are not so special, they keep repeating a satellite image of a white cloud with a hole in it, exactly the same - no movement, repeating it several times throughout the film, one scene involves the main hero burying himself in a snow hole to survive being frozen, with a candle which burns the oxygen in the hole uo, so either he should have frozen to death or died of lack of oxygen, but he was not even that cold when he came out.

The acting is poor, the dialogue terrible, the emotional scenes look put on, which of course they are (real actors make the emotional scenes look real), continuity is not good, scenes where there are frozen people show the area frost free, it would take a while to defrost! And despite recently been frozen, the roads have wet puddles, not ice!

The music is poor, and sound effects are annoying.

I am looking for the good points, maybe the story is good, but the screenplay has ruined it.

Poor, interesting, but poor. Like a disaster movie from the 70's but without star actors.
