We watch a lot of movies - and I exaggerate not here. I would comfortably say we average two to three new films per day. Yay for the internet! So, understandably, we get our fair share of bad movies.

The best thing I can say about this film is that I didn't shut it off midway. Perhaps I was curious at what point it would get worse, or maybe I was holding out for some glimmer of authenticity. Sadly, it only got worse as it progressed.

The special effects were pathetic. With all the tech available for free download, this could have been way better. Plausibility? Of course, with any "disaster" genre flick, you have to suspend reality at some point so as not to throw the plot vehicle off the road - but this went beyond suspension - it was more like some horrible whacked out nightmare complete with somewhat incoherent sequences and sudden strange happenings that make no sense at all. Nothing is ever explained, probably because most things can't be since they are just impossible.

You can see all the base elements of the story ripped right from "The Day After Tomorrow", but the fun stops there.

So - I won't pick on specific scenes or elements (ha ha) so as not to spoil the film (errr... yeah.), but lets just leave it at... I didn't shut it off.

If you want a good disaster film, I would definitely look elsewhere, because this disaster is not the "Giant Glacier", its the whole movie itself. So bad its not even funny. *sigh*

This has got to be one of the worlds worst movies of all time… The main characters specifically the dad and mom have got to be the worst actors ever….and the director needs his a** kicked..so many screw ups and the editing is a nightmare…one minute the family is on a snow covered road with no traffic then they get a phone signal and pull over on a non snowy road with traffic going by them….just one of the many many things…....I mean the storyline is a good one but the they should at least cast actors that ...well....can actually act......

I think I could have edited this better with Windows movie maker.....complete trash!!

There is not much to say about this movie, it's dreadful... clearly one of the worst I ever seen in a long time.

It's a cheap copy of "Day After Tomorrow" but the the plot is atrocious and predictable, the special effects are 80's standards (I've seen better cgi in old Star Trek movies).

The acting is beyond poor, hard to describe, maybe a manual on "How not to act properly", but I have to admit that the plot doesn't help much.

There's not a thin shred of scientific validly on anything that goes around. I really can't write much more about it, I kept on watching just to see if somehow it would become better and it didn't.

I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone to be honest.

the acting, no wait, it's the directing, no, it's the effects. Grr, I can't decide.

I usually enjoy the cheap disaster movies but this one is so bad there are no words that do it justice.

The best thing about this movie is reading here what others have said. At least I got some laughs. But the funniest thing is seeing 35 votes for it as a 10 star movie, that is just hilarious. I can only assume everyone who worked on this movie voted 10 though given the number of names in the credits I think the rest of them must be hiding in shame.

I sincerely hope if anyone made money from this waste they gave it to charity because it certainly wasn't earned.

Alright so the movie is awful, Lets make a list of Awful things.

Awful: The Start was awful! The effects was made by a 12 year old. Everything repeats all the time ( "The road is blocked! we gotta find another way!!!" , "BAD EFFECT INC"). I mean was the movie budget that low ? Actors in the movie could not act at all, almost like it was there first cast. The Ending were even worser then all of Steven Seagal's movies ( and they are really bad )

The Story was not even good..

I give this movie 0.0001/10 Stars. Good: nothing.

Filling in some text here. so that you guys can read this review and learn.

Within the first five minutes the father establishes himself as the single least likable person on earth. A few minutes later we learn this out of shape obnoxious jerk is married to a former Playboy Playmate (MCCullough), so we know we know we are deep in male fantasy territory here. We then learn he has the know-it-all son and estranged teenage daughter required in all Asylum movies, implying he had sex with said Playboy Playmate at least twice. Our worst fears are confirmed. This isn't merely a teenage male fantasy, but a cartoon.

What follows is cartoon level idiocy of the highest order. The coyote and roadrunner is more believable. I won't spoil the ending, but if the "actors" lived through it you wouldn't know it by their reactions. I cannot imagine what a casting session for these films must be like. Where do they find these people?

No stars.

I don't know that I can add anything more than the other posters. So many inconsistencies. One minute it's pitch black and they can't drive any further, then four scenes later (maybe 45 minutes story time) it's bright as day again. The acting was horrible, I've seen middle school drama clubs do better. And the effects... I don't know anything about filming or computers but I'd bet money I could do a better job. I don't know if the budget was THAT low, or if they knew from the start that it was a crap story and decided to just throw everything together, but the end product isn't really worth viewing in my opinion. Unless you're looking for what not to do when making a film, then I'd say this is a must-see.

I have just endured "2012: Ice Age" and, as suggested above, I feel that I have wasted my time. Don't get me wrong, some of the scenes in it were quite cool; it's just a pity that they were ripped from other films! The acting was stilted, the dialogue was inane, the casting was what I can only presume as being last minute (I mean, really! Would the son's attitude have been more appropriate if he had been 7 instead of 17???) and the FX were very trapped in the early part of the last decade. If I had a choice between watching this movie again with the associated risk of my brain melting out through my ears to avoid the trauma of "2012: Ice Age" or being caught under a glacier, I would gladly strip to my tighty-whitey's and dive underneath that big boy.

Please, don't insult your intelligence as I have just done. Avoid this movie like it was your mother-in-law.

I was expecting the movie to be similar to "The day after tomorrow" or "2012", but the actors are horrible, the script is bad and the storyline isn't new.

You get irritated by the characters right off the start. Some movies are bad in a way that it become fun to watch, but this one is just bad.

Overall, I didn't enjoyed it because I didn't like you but merely because the movie itself is an empty shell. Characters were badly developed making you wanting them to die at the beginning. Also they focus too much on the characters rather on the actual event. So for those wanting to see The Day after Tomorrow style of movies, you be very disappointed.

You being warned.

+1 for effort +1 for video quality +1 for sound quality

This is without doubt the worst of the worst films ever. I have never laughed so much, my eyes were streaming with laughter tears all the way through it.

When the big 6'6" guy full of muscles tried mugging the 5'0" skinny runt guy for his coat I just fell to pieces with laughter, what was he going to do, blow his nose with it.

To be honest I think the director has hit on a great format for future entertaining films, it was so bad I couldn't stop watching it. I didn't think it was possible to act that bad, the actors are either amazingly brilliant or absolutely the worst ever, it is quite hard to make up my mind which.

I thoroughly recommend this film to anyone that has a good sense of humour and is in need of a really good laugh.

It is without doubt the most entertaining film I have seen in a long time but not for all the reasons that the director would have hoped.

I just don't understand is this film had such a small budget or what ??? Special effects??? I can make almost the same on my home computer with the free programs. Casting? Very bad select of actors and i don't want to start about story! After all, writer's could came with a much better text line. There is a lot of mistakes, incredible snow storm the building are crumbling, people freeze, but the roads are mostly clear. Scenes with the technology are simply the last century and skip the unrealistic future, not to establish a telephone connection but can be monitored through GPRS - FAIL Having seen this movie and the director's name in the end I do not want to see any movie that he directed. No matter how reviews were good, my personal opinion is that this movie done great harm to all people who have played in it or were part of a team who had made ​​this movie This is a really disaster movie, but not disaster what you want to see... Simple as that i want 1:31h time of my life back!

I kept thinking, this has to be a student movie. Definitely a first movie for the director. Yes. So far his only movie. Acting poor. But the actors have form, so it comes down to the director. Special effects so so. Shots of F16 aircraft look like stock footage of the Thunderbirds in a formation fly past, interspersed with F15s and even F22. I don't think that the movie was made with USAF help (😊). Script definitely not by a experienced writers. Why did I watch it through to the end? It was so bad that it was fun to watch. 😅

Not ICE AGE. Not 2012. Not good. The film starts out in high gear with Irwin Allen time right from the start. No exposition, no character development, no interest at all. Just glacier madness. The plot is standard issue apocalypse stuff: "Let's get the hell outta here!". The special effects feel so very computerized, down to the snowflakes. This makes the characters feel just as computer generated, and although the actors aren't horrible, the script is so non-supportive they feel like they are adrift (pun intended) waist high in...well, snow. And they are. Not worth a look, unless it is on cable, late, and you have insomnia. It may cure it.

This was shown on the SyFy Channel in the UK so I had a pretty good idea it was going to be a low budget piece of made-for-TV entertainment... what I didn't realise was just HOW low budget it actually would be.

From the outset, the film sets its standards low with poor quality special effects and over-acted bad acting, and it doesn't really improve from there.

Throughout the movie, which follows the age-old ethos of all B-movie disaster films, so many questionable decisions are made by the stars, who manage to narrowly avoid disaster at all points in their effort to make it across to New York to find their daughter as a glacier destroys the whole of North America.

Sci-fi movies do require the viewer to release their grip on reality just a little bit to make the script ring true, but in this the acting is poor, the special effects even more so, and the plot line so full of holes even somebody with the wildest imagine (my 12 year old son, for example) struggled to find the story even in the slightest bit believable.

Instead, we chose to find entertainment in spotting the continuity errors (of which there are many), the low-rent graphics (at one point the car they are driving becomes a CGI version in order to get away with an otherwise-impossible J-turn at a junction) and the clichéd plot, which struggles to hold your attention.

Worth watching if the battery's expired in your remote control and you can't be bothered to get up and turn the TV over...

For a cheesy disaster flick, I have to give this 6/10. Bad acting, bad science, major goofs, predictable plot. Highly entertaining and humorous for a disaster flick, if you enjoy poking fun at major plot holes and mishaps.

I won't give away any plot details, but this movie had me giggling and shaking my head through the whole thing...not to mention yelling at the screen over certain errors and waving goodbye at predictable moments.

*Please note: My rating is based off of how well it lives up to a 'cheesy disaster flick' rating. The movie was really horrible overall, but my rating is based on how entertaining I found it, based on criteria I look for in a cheesy disaster flick.

I gave this movie a 2/10 just to be fair with how much I enjoyed...turning it into a drinking game.

I originally rented this to watch during our B movie night with the kids. It was so horrible they begged me to shut it off after the first 30 minutes of horrible graphics, corpse-like acting and a storyline that didn't bother to have any dialog with other characters when one line yelled at random seemed to suffice. Later, when my husband got home, I had to show him the hilarity...he suggested beers to ease the pain.

1- Drink when Patrick Labyorteaux (the dad) ignores any conversations, questions or information screamed at him and just stares into the camera.

2- Drink when stock footage barely related to the current place in the story line is used.

3- Drink when the stock footage reveals the family is driving a different vehicle than the one shown in the previous scene.

4- Drink when Nick Afanasiev (the son) freaks about something. If this happens within the same 30 seconds of the dad staring into the distance, finish your drink.

We ran out of beer long before the movie was finished.
