Age of Ice

This movie does not have a story, very weak acting and low budget. If you have anything else to do ( water your plants, mow your yard, run errands) , please do it, even if you have been putting something off for a long time, do it and don't waste your time or your money with this movie. If there is a rating lower than a (B) movie category, this should be in the bottom of the list. the best description of this movie is a high school drama and film class project. all events in the movie don't make any sense, the timing in the movie between scenes is out of logic and sync. I think the director or the writer does not know geography very well to know the distance between two countries and within the country in relationship to the anomaly in the movie.

This movie was too awful to be anything other than an inside joke, and certainly wasn't meant for real humans uninvolved with the joke to actually watch. The effects reminded me of that iPhone app that does the video effects - where you can film something and have cheesy movie effects appear on the video - only the iPhone's effects were drastically better. The acting performances... I'd bet my 1st born that you could pick random people out of the white pages over and over again and never get less quality performances... this movie should be listed as the 8th wonder of the world - its so bad that it will wow generations to come this movie is good for only 1 type of audience - bulimics.

Before people start protesting that this is low-budget and not to take it seriously, I always take these into account before watching a movie from The Asylum or any other low-budget movie. The thing is, low-budget movies can have limitations but still be entertaining in some shape or form but then we have movies that are so amateurish and illogically stupid that they are difficult to defend. And the latter is the case with the worst of The Asylum, which as of now is where Age of Ice belongs.

Even for low-budget Age of Ice looks poor, while it constantly looks lifelessly drab, has limited settings and has camera work that at times can't stay still it is the editing and the special effects that are especially bad in this regard. The editing is incredibly sloppy and has more continuity errors enough to fill a book the equivalent of the longest Stephen King novel, Age of Ice really has to be one of the worst-edited movies not just in recent years but ever too. To say the special effects are appalling is being too kind(like the editing they're some of the worst I've seen), they look as though the production team had forgotten about doing them until late in production and worked at breakneck speed to complete them with no attention whatsoever to detail, size, colour or blend. In fact, they even look unfinished and even the worst designed video game effects look better than the effects in Age of Ice. The music is forgettable at best and is poorly recorded, sometimes too loud and sometimes too soft, while the direction is flat and screamed of inexperience.

Age of Ice is dreadfully written and enough to make you want to tear out your ear-drums. It constantly sounded awkward and with a complete lack of depth or emotion, coherence was hardly a strong suit either. The story was so thin structurally, so poorly developed(very little that needed to be is explained) and laboriously paced that if you were sure there was not a story here you can't be blamed. There were so many scientific and logic lapses too, and very obvious ones most of the time, that it was intelligence-insulting and there is the sense that even the writers had no clue what they were talking about hence the lack of coherence. If you're looking for any fun, thrills, suspense or emotion, find another movie because Age of Ice is lacking in every single one of those things. The characters are so annoying and cardboard that it is impossible to connect with any of them and judging from the acting the actors sure didn't connect with them either, almost all of them delivering lines like they were in pain. Only the actress who plays the daughter seemed to show any signs of trying and even she wasn't very good.

To conclude, dreadful in every single way imaginable and among The Asylum's all-time worst by far. 0/10 Bethany Cox

well where should I begin and I think its going to be very hard filling 10 lines. don't look for this film in the Oscar nominations. firstly the acting is totally tortuous and in fact unbelievable and the lack of a credible script is partly to blame. industrial light and magic don't have to worry about the special effects on this film overshadowing any of theirs this year, or any year soon. especially note worthy, has got to be when the actors fell down the side of the pyramid landing perfectly clean and unscathed, but the best shot was the little dots that was representing the actors descent. well that's about as much as we could take and turned the crap off, if you have say 2 hrs to waste in your life then watch paint dry and not this so called film.

I have always been somewhat skeptical of the IMDb ratings, and have watched many 5-6 star IMDb-rated movies that have proved excellent. So I was doubtful that WOI was really as bad as the 2.5 stars suggested - boy, was I wrong! This really is a stinker, the worst movie I have ever seen in fact. The people that are bitching about the cheesy CGI really need to focus on what matters - the best special-effects in the world count for nothing if the film has a plot, script and actors not worth a damn! The script is so bad that I'm wondering if this is not some kind of inside-joke as others have suggested. Having watched the entire thing, I could pull the script apart line-by-line, but for what - suffice it to say that whoever was responsible seems to have suffered from attention-deficit-disorder.

This movie is so bad, it's in fact a gem of sorts - more people should have done themselves a favor and watched it in it's entirety - after all, without being familiar with what's truly bad, you fail to appreciate the really great films to the fullest extent.
