Did you ever read "Time of the Great Freeze" by Robert Silverberg or go see "Damnation Alley?"
If so, then you've seen this film before--only this time, it's a post Tunguska-like comet impact instead of World War III and no giant cockroaches this time. Dean Cain and a husky named "Sasquatch" lead a team through Ice Age Europe to rescue lost scientists trapped in Berlin in Landmaster-like vehicles. A B-movie science fiction film with all of the associated trappings. Not too bad digital special effects.
Turn off your brain and enjoy, then go get "Damnation Alley" for a (slightly) better performance.

Long dormant pterodactyl eggs hatch and you can guess the rest.
It seems that the directors actually paid attention to basic biology and physics this time. Coolio gives a good performance as a no-nonsense hardcore special forces officer. This movie is a lot closer to the 1950's and 1960's era classics such as "Them!," "One Million Years B.C.," "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth," and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" than most of this type. Good digital effects--not bad for made-for-cable.
Trivia: The characters Lovecraft, Serling, Zelazny, and Burroughs are all named after famous science fiction authors.
