Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

blrnani This film basically takes the hypotheses as to what can happen when the northern icepack melts and runs with them. We are already post 2020 and the rising temperatures in Southern Europe have already made those areas uninhabitable, sparking massive migration northwards (sound familiar?). And out of fear that services and resources will be overwhelmed, drastic immigration controls are imposed in the UK. So the Artic region is already under threat and to exacerbate this the Halo energy giant intends to drill to supply the world's spiraling energy demand. Richard Roxburgh warns that the drilling will speed up the melting and dump millions of gallons of cold fresh water into the North Atlantic, with dire effects on the Gulf Stream that warms the region. Sam Neill can only see things from his limited global energy perspective and employs talented lawyer Frances O'Connor to maintain the status quo. But in good ole 'big business' tradition, when she also starts getting suspicious, the fight gets dirtier. Being a hands on guy who limits the number of people allowed to be in on the dirty tricks, Neill is on the rig when the inevitable happens. The icepack cracks and melts, dumping all the fresh water, the Gulf Stream breaks down and a new Ice Age hits Northern Europe. Very ironically, the northern Europeans now have to migrate south, where the drought devastated lands will presumably be more amenable to human habitation once more. Amid the chaos, Roxburgh and his new ally O'Connor, hasten to reunite with his family, who have gone to London to free his wife, who was carted off by the immigration authorities (presumably at Neill's instigation). We have environmentalists who are studying polar bears and come to the rescue, London thugs who have armed themselves to exploit the situation, and a grandfather who makes the ultimate sacrifice to save the rest of the family. All in all it presents a convincing picture of 'what if' that is comparable to the film "The Day After Tomorrow", though arguably a lot more realistic, as it doesn't depend on abnormally extreme weather for its action, but simply a natural chain of events that have catastrophic consequences.

Venom_81 Ice it's a sci-fi mini series about a future glaciation due to an exploitation of the environment from the mankind. Let's say the story , the script could be interesting, absolutely nothing new but let's say it's the better part of this series. Let's say that on this series there is an actor like Sam Neill (the only one who works fine) and others that are like Claire Forlani (that are absolutely embarrassing as actress definitely better as a model Who doesn't have to speak) so the cast in general is quite terrible. The directing seems quite OK for very low profile series and sometimes it's definitely bad like a south American drama of the 90's. It's a Uk series and you can feel it simply because all the word it's concentrated into the Uk and seems that exists only the Uk, no other nations if you are not considering just the poor immigrants from the rest of the Europe that wants to reach the Uk haven. Come on colonialism finished some times ago, seems a London and Uk style of life commercial. But what bother me more than all it's simply the stupidity of a lots of situations. A couple of examples.. The big frost arrived and all the airport in the north Europe close down, well our heroes takes a small airplane from Iceland and they are able to fly to UK. There is less 40 Celsius degree and there are people dressed as a sunny day in winter..no gloves, no wool bonnet, no scarf..and sometimes they put just a jacket over a Tshirt and they are just above 10 meters of snow. Crazyness. Visual effects are from quite decent to bad but I can say that on this series they are last of the problem. A poor cast, a poor direction and a lot of stupid situations create a recipe for a bad series. Probably the worst i watched in the last years

Paul Magne Haakonsen Well, with this being a TV movie in mind, then "Ice" wasn't actually all that bad. But it was no "The Day After Tomorrow" either, although it essentially is the same.Storywise, then "Ice" did prove to be entertaining enough, although the movie was somewhat suffering from being predictable and stereotypical. But take it for what it is, and the movie is fun and enjoyable in itself.Effect-wise, well then "Ice" doesn't impress. The CGI were adequate enough, but what made the movie suffer was the horribly fake movie snow that was used in almost all scenes that involved snow, and the equally fake ice walls shown in the crevasse. It was so fake that even a blind person would point a finger and laugh. Seriously, despite being from 2011, the effects were better than such even back then.As for the people on the cast list, well they did good enough jobs with their given roles. People brought a good amount of enthusiasm and energy to the movie and their characters, which made the movie turn out to be more enjoyable.A lot of the scenes towards the end of the movie was starting to become too much, especially the amounts of snow that apparently had fallen in record time, and the degrees that they said were outside, yet the main characters were able to withstand that cold in thin clothing, and not a single hint of ice on their bodies. It was like time was running out and they had to wrap up the movie fast and efficiently. And that just made it seemed rushed and not believable in any way."Ice" does manage to raise something interesting to think about, such as man's constant quest for fossil fuel, man's disregard for the ecology of the world in which we live, and the heartless nature of the corporate giants. If you are one of those environmental concerned people, then this movie does manage to plant a seed for thought. So "Ice" does entertain and leave you with something once the end credits start to roll.

DJ Janssen Well let me start of by saying that i like disaster movies and i can overlook some things that aren't realistic in those kinda movies,but this movie just asked to much of me. A ice age that starts from really hot sunny weather in england to -40 degrees in less then 48 hours. OK i can look past that because i also did it with the movie Day after tomorrow,but the writers and director never ever heard of hypothermia and the effects that it has on a human body,because when people can walk around with jeans and a normal shirt and jacket and wearing no gloves for hours in temperatures of -40 degrees with only a case of really mild shivers just doesn't stick with me and my IQ and is just plain stupid,there is a scene where the climb a solid steel ladder in a elevator shaft with bare hands and it doesn't bother them at all. These are some of the stupid things that are happening during this flick but there are many many more highly illogical happenings that just made my mind spin.I still give this a rating of 5 because the effects where pretty decent for a TV production,the actors did a OK job but try to shut off your brain,because mine started to hurt after a while.
