Nonureva Really Surprised!

Steineded How sad is this?

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

polx-htc It's so bad it's actually a great film. The plot is a mirror of Day After Tomorrow, just with worse acting and no film continuity. Some great one liners and heartfelt (not) emotion. There was obviously no pre-filming research done by the production team: in the UK we drive on the left, have our steering wheels on the right, and the Channel Tunnel isn't a road link; only rail. They did get the logo right though. Product placement?What was great about this film is the awfulness. It's hysterically funny without being a made as a comedy. It's a disaster movie in every sense of the word. Fantastic. I only didn't give it 10 stars because the sets didn't wobble. That would have been worth the final two stars.John Rhys-Davis gave a star performance as a British Officer whilst wearing an American officer's uniform. Just about sums up this film really...

Uriah43 This movie begins with a volcanic eruption in Iceland which triggers a series of other eruptions and earthquakes all across Europe. The resulting ash emitted from these volcanoes then proceeds to block out the sun which causes a new ice age to develop. While this is occurring a newly-married man named "Steve Foster" (Jeff Fahey) and his wife "Lacey" (Judit Fekete) are flying to London when they realize that they need to get to Paris to rescue Steve's son "Ryan Foster" (Marc McKevitt Ewins) and daughter "Taryn Foster" (Sara Malakul Lane). The story then proceeds to focus on the trouble that both groups have to overcome in order to get to their rendezvous point. Now as far as the overall movie is concerned I must say that trying to capture the magnitude of such an impending disaster was no easy matter. In this specific case the attempt to do so failed quite badly. The special effects were bad and the scenarios weren't very realistic either. In short, those who like disaster films might get some satisfaction out of this one but it certainly isn't one I would recommend to anyone. Accordingly, I rate it as below average.

Darren Wood I checked the description on the sci-fi channel and I thought that this was just my kind of film. Unfortunately it appears that no thought was put it into it at all.The whole premise of the film is based on the fact that it is really cold. And yet it takes half the film's duration for our two main protagonists to even think about finding a jacket. And when they do, the don't even bother to button or zip them up. No one cares to wear gloves or get a cold-weather hat. And so the threat of dying from extreme cold just doesn't exist at all.In my head, I couldn't get past the fact that no one actually appears to be cold. So when our two Americans get pushed into a car by the military, and in there meet a mini-skirt wearing uber-babe, the remote control channel button was being primed. Moments later their car had exploded in flames, and when no-one bothered to huddle around the fire for warmth, I was done.There are numerous comedy falls however, the best one being when they are running down a corridor and suddenly fall through the floor. There are no signs of the floor remnants in the room below at all. Classic.

Leofwine_draca I wasn't expecting much from The Asylum's 100 DEGREES BELOW ZERO, a Z-grade movie rip-off of the Hollywood blockbuster THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. After all, I hated the original, finding it boring in the extreme, so what could this film do better? The answer is that it's much more entertaining purely because it's so bad. So bad it's good, in fact...The storyline involves a macho pilot (the dependable Jeff Fahey) searching for his offspring, who are lost in Paris during a deadly weather event which threatens a new ice age in Europe. What it all boils down to is a bunch of stock disaster scenarios, some truly horrible CGI effects, and more overacting from the cast than you can shake a stick at.Still, it's far from the worst you'll see (try AGE OF ICE for that). Fahey works hard in his man-on-a-mission role, and underwear model Sara Malakul Lane runs around in a skimpy t-shirt despite the freezing temperatures, allowing the cameraman to ogle her at every opportunity. John Rhys-Davies pops up as a gruff military type, although he has a heart in this one at least.100 DEGREES BELOW ZERO is perfect for fans of bad-but-funny movies and it's one of those ones that demands being watched with a glass of alcohol in hand. My favourite scene is when the kids in Paris hook up with their pop on the phone and tell him "there's nothing left" after an earthquake. This is accompanied with their faces screwed up into expressions of unbelievable horror. And yet, in the background, all the buildings are intact and you can see pedestrians and traffic going by normally. A great goof in a film full of them.
