L'era glaciale 5 - In rotta di collisione

You gotta know when to stop. This franchise has run a couple of movies too long.

Now concentrating on this movie only, not the franchise, plainly put, it is a bad movie. If you are a die hard fan and want to pick positives and try desperately enough, you can do so. I am not that desperate and I take my movie watching pretty seriously and there is nothing good I can say about this movie. There is no point in going into the plot and dissecting it. Scrat used to be funny, but that seems to be a lifetime back. Sid used to be lovable, but I can't even remember the last time I felt so. There is no life in this cow, let alone milk.

Here we go again! Milking everything you got out of a franchise. They say this is the final chapter of Ice Age, but we'll see how much money it makes to be sure.

Nothing overly imaginative about the film as the tribe attempt to survive a big rock about to hit Earth.

It was filled with good jokes that made me laugh hard throughout. It better with comedians like Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary and Simon Pegg, voicing the main charters. Although, four sequels made for too many main characters for any of the all-star cast to fully shine .

The animation was good, but nothing new stood out (I hear it only takes eight mouths to do these movies)but I really like the character design. Plus it's worth seeing for some great 3D images.

But the film works best if you are a huge fan of the ones before it(especially if your a fan of Scat, the saber tooth squirrel who has particularly created the entire universe in an effort to get that nut) . Without having that connection, it's a bit bland.

Ice Age Collision Course is a kind of ridiculous, but the movie entertains, I can confirm that the movie is unnecessary, and blue sky really wanted to exprime the franchise, but this movie entertains, if you compare this movie with other movies of franchise is obviously that the quality got down, but hey, as I said, is an entertaining movie, I like a lot new characters like shangri llama Brooke etc, this last one was my favorite from this film, not just because Is pretty and a perfect girlfriend for Sid, also because of her song, her dialogues and design, Buck and Scrat are most of the best of the movie, because they sustain the the mayority of the movie, specially Buck, I like how Morita Prooved to Manny and Ellie that she's is capable to take care of children, with Julian, this character was good for me, is cool, is positive and is hilarious, I will not deny that some parts of the movies are bad, like the Poop Jokes, How ridiculous can be, and that the history is not so good, and how I said, is very ridiculous, and if you very very like the other Franchise films, is probably that you will hate this movie, but if we eliminate that, is a decent movie, and I think that a person that doesn't remembers the other movies like me, can support this movie, my final grade to Ice Age Collision Course is a 6.3/10.

Ice Age: Collision Course continues with the adventures of Manny(Ray Romano), Diego(Denis Leary) & Sid(John Leguizamo). When Earth is about to be bombarded by a meteor shower, it is up to Manny, Diego, Sid & the rest of the herd, to save themselves & prevent the end of the world. They take the help of their old friend, Buck(Simon Pegg).

Ice Age: Collision Course is a fun film. Kids will love it. However, adults will only find it mildly entertaining. Personally, I feel that the Ice Age franchise should have ended with the fourth movie. Ice Age(2002), Ice Age: The Meltdown(2006), Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs(2009) & Ice Age: Continental Drift(2012) are all great movies. Ice Age: Continental Drift(2012) has a perfect ending & there was absolutely no need to make further sequels. Blue Sky Studios decided to make one more Ice Age movie. This film is not boring at all. However, I am a fan of the Ice Age movies and, I am slightly disappointed with this film. There is not as much humor in this movie, as there is in previous installments. There are funny scenes but, there are not as many of them, as I would have liked. There are a slew of new characters. Some of them are welcome additions but, some of them are not. Due to the fact that there are too many characters, some of our favorite characters get sidelined. These are the movie's flaws. The animation is great. The 3D is impressive. The voice acting is amazing. Ray Romano is awesome as Manny. John Leguizamo is outstanding as Sid. Denis Leary is brilliant as Diego. Simon Pegg is spectacular as Buck. Queen Latifah is good as Ellie. Keke Palmer is superb as Peaches. Adam Devine is endearing as Julian. Wanda Sykes is hilarious as Granny. Seann William Scott & Josh Peck are funny as Crash & Eddie, respectively. Nick Offerman, Max Greenfield & Stephanie Beatriz are adequate as Gavin, Roger & Gertie, respectively. Jennifer Lopez is effective as Shira. Jesse Tyler Ferguson & Jessie J are impressive as Shangri Llama & Brooke, respectively. Chris Wedge is hysterical as Scrat. Ice Age: Collision Course is worth a watch. However, watch it with low expectations.

The concluding episode, in which Scrat's escalating comic buffoonery is taken to its insane/extreme conclusion, as he ends up destroying life on Mars! Is that supposed to be funny? Anyway, anachronistic isn't enough to describe the lack of grounding (or icing) in reality: there is confusion between multiple eras, but at least we can enjoy some laughs with the old gang. The end of the series is signaled by Manny's daughter marrying and moving away: perhaps an allegory for children who grew up over the more-than-a-decade in which the Ice Age series was produced.
