2020 : Le Jour de glace

Despite a good set of actors most of the dialogue is laughable. The dialogue almost feels made for radio if you shut your eyes. This is Sharkado meets Day After Tomorrow. I did however sit through both episodes of this mini series. I did actually enjoy it but for all the wrong reasons. Special effect where "special" indeed. The acting was poor adding more humorous moments. A man battered by large hail stones lays unconscious/ dead with blood over his face and one of the main characters shouts " hey you ok?"

It's made for TV so lower any expectations, read the reviews and lower them some more and you may enjoy this. I am a furloughed worked with too much time on my hands so if your bored on a Wednesday afternoon then it will see you through till it's time to eat again.

This is based on a great idea, and starts quite good. the first half an hours is quite OK, at least for a mediocre grade here, but then it deteriorates fast.

It's full of both bad scripting, silly dialog, awful CGI and laughable ideas. The actors do their best, and there are quite a few great actors here, which is left with a ridiculous script. The longer into the miniseries the worse they struggle in doing their job.

The worst is the extremely bad CGI. Even the ice and snow doesn't look like anything other than styrofoam. Simply laughable.

Stay away, unless you have three hours to kill with less than MacGyver on DVD.

This is some of the worst writing and directing I've ever seen.

If you've seen the Day After Tomorrow then you've seen some of this. Much of this has echoes of that film but its a cheap imitation.

It's not awful but it's not great either.

I've watched a lot worse and it is entertaining.

For a start it's way too long. Couple this with some ham acting and a dodgy plot and it's easy to start to lose focus and let your mind wander. That said the production isn't bad, some of the SFX are a iffy but for a TV movie they've not done a half bad job to be fair. Overall though it's all very implausible so that causes it to lose credibility. It's a poor mans 2012 I guess.

If you're at a loose end for 3+ hours, knock yourself out. If you like dodgy tv moves, knock yourself out. If you have the attention span on a goldfish or detest cliches and cliched storylines then you're gonna struggle.
