Saw this yesterday at a media screening over here. It was almost as notable for the laughter breaking out at completely inappropriate times as for the action on screen.
The idea of the world being embraced in a new ice age due to global warming is an interesting one, a pity then it seems that global disasters only ever happen in the USA. Add a pinch of mawkish feel-good characters and setups (the sick kid in hospital, the self sacrificing doctor) and a dash of over the top movie physics, and the result is a typical Hollywood blockbuster with little bearing on reality.
Not to say it wasn't thoroughly enjoyable mind you, just that if you go in expecting anything other than a heavy hand teaching that climate change = bad, you are sorely mistaken.

I don't know what all these people are complaining about - I saw this movie in a film festival over here and spent most of the movie trying not to p*** myself with laughter. How the characters get in and out of such completely off the wall situations, and the deadpan way they said some of the lines left me in hysterics.
Granted it isn't a perfect film, but it's a good 7/10

This film is one of the more tired efforts in the series, and probably will only appeal to the more die hard trekkie. It starts slow, finishes slow, and fills in the gaps with the occasional spectacular sequence, interspersed with slow.
Overall, very disappointing.
