Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
clock_me I saw this back when it first came out with my moms ex and from the first 5 min two the last 5 mins you get nothing but silly action a love story emotion and a great adventure ride now yes this does kinda preach global warming but who cares its there to make a good premise for whats going on and why everything is freezing ect now... this had somewhat of an original story with a son getting trapped in Manhattan and his father going out to rescue him i liked it because despite not having a dad i always wondered what it would be like if i was that kid... which for some reason is my mom ex didnt like and ended up walking out not even an hour into it now with a cast of Jake Gyllenhaal Emmy Rossum Sela ward and Denis Quaid they all played there parts extremely well and the Cgi they used to me still stands out today amonset the best so to all the haters out there quit preying on the great movies dont't watch it if your going to rip it a new one
undeaddt There is nothing better to watch than a crazy apocalypse based movie where you can see visual effects and CGI in all of their glory with your mouth left wide open. This is by far one of the most unic movies I've watched, especially because of the fact that the reason for the apocalyptic setting is a climate change, but a climate change where everything freezes with temperatures below -150. Nowadays, all we talk is about global warming, hot weather, warm winters, but this movie is something totally different from that, the complete opposite. Yes, the moment when Jake Gyllenhaal is pursued from one city to another by has father, while the whole world is crumbling is a bit to much, but hey, as long is Jake Gyllenhaal is the one we need to worry about, everything is alright, who by the way, does an awesome acting job, altho, at that time, is only 23 years old.
robert-armon Among the vast quantities of disaster movies USA made, this one is another failure !! The theme of ice age should go on other directions (philosophical, ethical, moral, etc) but the makers of the present movie selected the same bad formulas found in so many disaster movies...Just an example, that I really hate in American movies: in the middle of the worst situation we hear love declarations of the characters: "I want you to know I love you, Jack and Jack replies me too..." such a nonsense sounds like an old formula to make us cry or at least to sorrow the characters....The only good stuff are the visual effects, but for it we don't need a screenplay with false drama !!! Two stars is the most that I can give to such a piece of melodrama.
Sofia Sifnaios This film follows the paleoclimatologist, Jack Hall (Dennis Quad), and couple of his colleagues in Antarctica. The disaster begins when Larsen Ice Shelf breaks as they are collecting data. He presents this phenomenon to the United Nations, and blames it on the increasing climate change the planet is experiencing, but no one takes him or the potential threats that could unfold after this seriously. However, his claims are backed by Professor Terry in Scotland who has picked up data from buoys in the Atlantic Ocean that show a massive drop in ocean temperature due to the polar ice caps melting, which disrupts the North Atlantic current. This dramatic shift in ocean temperature as well as salinity causes violent and bizarre weather patterns around the world such as Japan having a massive hailstorm, India with snow, and LA experiencing a series of tornadoes. This all builds up to three massive storm systems spanning across the northern hemisphere. The eyes of these storms hold temperatures close to -150°F, which instantly freezes anything— including jet fuel in this movie. These storms affect the entirety of their given continents within days and are projected to last between 7-10 days. An evacuation is ordered of the southern United States, with most of its refugees headed to Mexico, while the northern half is instructed to seek shelter until the storm passes The rest of the movie follows Jack as he seeks to reunite with his son who has found refuge in the New York Public Library.Although it is believable climate change has a dramatic effect on the planet, the effects would not be experienced within a matter of days. If anything, it would take years to see the impacts depicted in the movie. In this film, we see the ice caps melting and sea level rising at a rapid rate, which is the cause for all the weather anomalies. Many countries experienced weather patterns that were outside their typical climatic norms (Japan with hail, India in snow, and LA with tornadoes), which is also hard to believe. If anything, regions would experience more intensified and severe versions of the weather patterns they already are subjected to. Another aspect of the film that raises questions is the extreme cold associated with the storms. In order for temperature to decrease at such a rapid rate that causes jet fuel to freeze, it would also need to occur over a matter of years, not days let alone seconds. This indicates how the time-scale of the events that occur in the movie are catalyzed and magnified by Hollywood and the resulting weather anomalies are just inaccurate.
