Age of Ice (2014)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Some movies are so bad that they're good. This is not one of those movies.We all love a good bad movie. The kind that's hopelessly inept, but at least has a heart, or unintentional comedy, or some vitality or misguided ambition. Or some other redeeming quality. Age of Ice has none of that. It's just bad in every way that it's possible for a movie to be bad. How bad, exactly? It's as bad as your mind will allow you to comprehend. It's so bad that it could kill a horse from a 100m distance. I could enumerate the problems with this movie, but frankly I don't have the vocabulary for it. There are only so many ways you can say "horrible", "atrocious", etc. Just imagine a very long list of things that people often (or even sometimes) like in a movie. And then imagine a movie that does the exact opposite - Every. Single. Sime.If you decide to watch Age of Ice, then may God have mercy on your soul.

Other reviewers have complained about the editing, acting, CGI, and science (or lack thereof). I agree with all of them; however, my biggest complaint was how "Mom" was constantly hiding her face in "Dad's" shoulder and clinging to him, ignoring her children, leaving them to get help from others. Sorry movie people, once you become a mother, your "damsel in distress" card is pulled from your deck. If mom had been protecting son, he could not have caused so many disasters. Falling off of the train, jumping off the camel, totally out of control - parents, where are you? Dad, why weren't you protecting your daughter on that bumpy airplane ride? Leaving her to the tender care of a boy you just met? REALLY!?! If you want to see how NOT to parent your children in a disaster, check out this movie!I love the disaster movie genre but this one was really pitiful!

A visionary science fiction epic about catastrophic climate change and the birth of a new ice age. Written and Directed by the gifted Emile Edwin Smith, this is a truly riveting film of incredible suspense and epic in scope. The vast vistas of a frozen Arabia, snow covered pyramids, and an ice encrusted Sphynx are stunning. Smith also incorporates very human, personal stories that give the audience real people to care about as they fight for survival against the horrific natural phenomenon. Barton Bund, Bailey Spry, and Jules Hartley give superb performances as individuals faced with unbelievable terror and overwhelming circumstance that challenge them to their very limits. A special mention should be made of the beautifully realized cinematography as it is supremely effective in capturing the hellish environment in realistic panoramas that are simply staggering.

OK, I had to give it a 1 mainly because the movie is absolutely terrible in every possible way. However, it had me laughing all the way through with its ridiculousness, mainly because it was the absolute worst movie imaginable. Now, having said that, if you are an actor, a director, or a movie enthusiast, I highly encourage you to watch this flick for the same entertainment value I received from it; it literally is a parody of itself, which if only it had been intentional, we would consider it genius. Now I'm thinking... I know a number of producers and industry folk. . . Anyone interested in seeing an apocalyptic parody? Perhaps 'If 2012 Happened' or maybe 'Day After Yesterday'?
