Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Leofwine_draca ABSOLUTE ZERO is an absolute pig of a film; conceived as a zero-budget, made-in-Canada rip-off of THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The modern-day disaster movies made by the SyFy Channel and The Asylum look like masterpieces by comparison.The storyline sees part of a glacier breaking off to bring winter to Miami. Soon enough the whole of Florida is at freezing point so it's up to the usual renegade scientist and his extended family to do something about it. Everything imaginable about the movie is horrid: the script, the dialogue, the almost entire lack of believability throughout. The CGI effects of snow drifts and storms look like they've been drawn onto the camera with a child's pencil. The constant melodrama is laughable.Hardworking B-movie actor Jeff Fahey is the gruff lead here, but even he looks flabby and tired by the whole thing. BAYWATCH actress Erika Eleniak plays his estranged wife, but there were only ever a couple of reasons why she was popular and they've long since headed south. As usual, a couple of annoying teenage children turn out to be the cleverest ones around.

Royalcourtier The advertising for this appalling movie claimed that "Millions of years ago, a thriving planet earth was engulfed by a sudden freeze so extreme that it wiped out all forms of life. Plants withered and died, dinosaurs faded into extinction, oceans froze - this was known as the Ice Age and it is on the verge of coming back." The Ice Age was not a single event, did not happen suddenly, was not the cause of the extinction of dinosaurs - and apparently ALL other life on earth - oceans did not freeze, and it was not a state of absolute zero temperatures. They couldn't have been more wrong if they had tried. Ironic that in the movie someone says that science is never wrong.If there was to be a new ice age it would not start in Florida! Perhaps they would have been closer to the truth if they suggested that the big freeze started in the brains of Hollywood directors.

Amy Adler David Koch (Jeff Fahey), a climatologist working for Miami-based Inter-Sci, is suddenly sent to Antarctica to investigate a change in climate. Some scientists on the icy continent were killed when there was an abrupt spike in temperature, resulting in shifting ice flows that sent them into the icy waters below. When David arrives down under, the remaining crew tell him that a "cave" has appeared, one that was not noticeable before, and which may have answers to the current phenomena. David leads a group to the cavern but, despite finding prehistoric "cave paintings" that suggest the climate on Antarctica was once warmer, the unstable weather creates death traps. Only David makes it out alive, natch. Back in Miami, David hooks up with a science colleague and his wife, Bryn (Erika Eleniak) who run data and come to the startling conclusion that the earth's "poles" are shifting and that Miami will become the new Antarctice in less than 4 days. Of course, the scummy, money-grubbing leader of Inter-Sci locks horns with David and insists to the United States military that the change in climate will evolve more slowly and that, in any case, the company has it covered. Ho ho, what fun is ahead! David, it turns out, is correct and soon folks sunning by the posh hotels' pools are being pelted with snow and sleet. With only a limited time to get everyone evacuated from Miami and into "warmer" New York and other upper regions, what will be the result? Actually, as far as "B" movies go, I thought this one was pretty entertaining. The cast is not stellar by any means, with Fahey and Eleniak, longtime B stars, looking older and tired and the others not doing Oscar work either. Then, too, the script veers off into silliness from time to time, as it tries to recount a long ago love affair between David and Bryn. But, when it gets down to science and special effects, the film fares much better. The whole premise is fairly interesting and the "chilling" of Miami is fun to watch. Yes, it takes a few pages from The Day After Tomorrow, with its rolling deep freeze frames. But, what the heck, if you love science fiction and chaotic weather situations, you would probably get a kick out of this one, especially on sweltering summer nights when re-runs are the only other options. Go for it.

figfarmer The science was bad, and this comes from a guy who loves 'living dead' movies. Most of it was mediocrely bad, but there was one line that created a new bar for stupidity, 'More ice bergs have formed...' The writer actually seems to believe that ice bergs just pop up out of nowhere in Florida marinas.There's another thing. The movie operates under the premise that Florida is the center of the universe.There are actually shots of a few good looking girls in the movie, but they may as well have not been they were so well covered.There was nothing to save this movie at all. The acting was OK, the effects were cheap, but OK. blah blah blah If you want to see something similar, but better, go see The Day After Tomorrow.
