Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Terryfan Cosmic Scart-tastrophe Is just another example of why Ice Age has over stayed it welcomeScart Acorn Joke was funny when I first saw it 15 years ago now It just a burn out joke that has gotten so old that it's not even funny anymore I just wish they retired this series because it has become a torn in my sideWhile I say the animation is amazing it is a very crafted C G I work great attention to detail so that gets points However it is just the same gimmick same old song and dance that has been done too many times that you already know what to expect before the cartoon startsI mean how many times can you play the same story without people getting bored with it? I only got to saw this because it plays before the Peanuts movie as a bonus cartoon which I would have took a short Snoopy special over thisI give Cosmic Scart-tastrophe an 4 out of 10

William O. Tyler Scrat, that silly prehistoric saber toothed squirrel from the Ice Age franchise that has since proved popular enough to become the logo character of Blue Sky Studios, the movies' production company, is at it again. This time his nut chasing antics somehow send him into outer space, completely changing the game and genre for the little guy and setting into motion a series of world changing events. But will poor Scrat ever get his nut?There are some little laughs and a lot of "how does that actually work" if you try to use too much reason with this short. Without reason, though, it's a quick romp that's sure to entertain children, just like all of his previous outings. It is, indeed, the exact same formula yet again, just in a different setting, easily falling into the generic memory of them all. But, as I said, children eat up his mindless slapstick comedy, no matter how mediocre it may seem, and that really is the point, isn't it?The short does give a little nod to known science fiction and outer space films, though not enough to make it truly referential and worthwhile. For those that are fans of the Ice Age films, however, these Scrat shorts do answer some questions involving the overall story, and keep pretty good continuity all throughout. But that really only means that this cosmic adventure raises more questions than it answers. Nuts!

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Cosmic Scrat-tastrophe" is, as you may have guessed already, another Ice Age Scrat short movie. They have been making these for a long time and "they", in this case, refers to director Mike Thurmeier, who also worked on several other Scrat short movies. This one here takes him to the moon and he has to get out of the way of planets and asteroids while always keeping an eye on his precious food. The other "Ice Age" characters (including their voice actors) have a short cameo at the end as well, but that one is as unfunny as everything before it. The routine of Scrat's screaming and all these collisions and changes to the Earth (and other planets now too) has truly gotten scale by now. It's time to put a halt to these. They are certainly exploiting the character of Scrat as much as they can and it's not helping at all. Weak short film, never interesting, only the animation is okay. Thumbs down.

gizmomogwai Clearly inspired by the success of this year's The Martian, Cosmic Scrat-tastrophe gives us the first Ice Age short I've seen in years, and a good one at that. Having toyed with time travel and dinosaurs before, this time Scrat stumbles upon- and into- the spaceship we briefly saw trapped in ice in the first film. Rather inventive in giving us acorn steering and an explanation of how Scrat inadvertently flies the ship into space, there are a few nice gags and a nice musical homage to 2001. We know from previous Ice Age films how Scrat is responsible for continental drift, but who knew he also aligned the Solar System, gave Jupiter its Red Spot and put Saturn between the rings? And at the end we have the typically cruel punchline at Sid's expense. (I've always actually preferred Sid to Scrat- the lesser-known short Surviving Sid is still the best Ice Age short).So Bring Scrat Home indeed- we don't want to part with this character.
