Alerte piège de glace

I was lulled into a false sense of security after watching 100 DEGREES BELOW ZERO and AIRPLANE VS VOLCANO, two Asylum-made disaster movies that turned out to be relatively entertaining given the paucity of their budgets. I was expecting more of the same in AGE OF ICE, a disaster flick in which mankind is threatened by a new ice age, but what I got was one of the worst films imaginable.

This is a truly horrible movie and I can't think of a single decent thing to say about it. Gone are the cheesy, over the top effects of the other movies in favour of having a bunch of characters wandering aimlessly through a snowy field. The script was written by somebody with a tin ear, somebody who manages to create a bunch of the most annoying characters and plonk them into the dumbest situations imaginable.

Seriously, these are people you'd never want to go on holiday with. The American characters are racist and obnoxious and the foreigners are just there to get wiped out (apart from the 'token' guy, a decent Jordanian). The character of the wife was the most horrible of the lot, I was praying for her death throughout but no such luck. There are no special guest stars here, just a load of badly-acting nobodies. Barton Bund (who he?) is particularly wooden.

AGE OF ICE's storyline goes nowhere and none of the action has impact or drama. It's just silliness after silliness. Watch out for the worst car accident I've ever seen on film, involving a guy spinning the camera to simulate a car spinning in the air, oh and two or three CGI cars thrown in for good measure. Godawful indeed and it sums up a worthless viewing experience.

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.

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.

Where to begin!? I was really looking forward to it. 5 minutes into the move you start noticing really bad special effects, recycled scene (in one occasion the same clip was recycled 4 times.) Scenes that completely contradict logic and the reaction of the actors is far for involving let alone believable. The story line has more holes than a mosquito net and side stories that never find conclusion leaving with a "Huh?!" feeling. Raining scenes but all the car are dry. Plane finding characters in a blizzard 3 secs after they throw 3 phones flash light on. Plane does "water landing" on a tiny lake?!?! The city in collapsing in flames but they manage to find a taxi?!?! I can go on and on! I really thought this was a parody of the actual movie. In all; REALLY BAD ACTING, FAULTY STORY LINE, SPECIALLY BAD SPECIAL EFFECTS. It's so bad it funny!
