Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
What a SHITE film.
** SLIGHT plot spoilers, don't read if you intend seeing it ** (HA ! PLOT ! who am I kidding ?)
Yes, great effects etc, but they should only supplement the story, not attempt to carry the whole thing. So the entire Northern Hemisphere is plunged into a new Ice Age over the course of a couple of weeks due to a large shift in the Atlantic Flow (or something). OK, thats totally implausible, but I was prepared to go along with it for the sake of a decent bit of action and drama. Except, in my haste, I completely forgot the Number One Safety Tip whenever visiting the cinema (apart from DO NOT eat the hot dogs) - any film with Dennis Quaid in it will, without exception, be utter, utter GASH.
So after the initial "ooh's" and "aah's" over the special effects in the first half of the film, we are then treated to about an hours worth of half a dozen people trapped in a LIBRARY. And, errr, thats pretty much it. Hero Quaid decides to risk his life and limb and walk to the library to save his son...although quite what it was he intended doing once he got there isn't quite clear, but he told him on the phone "stay where you are - I WILL come for you, do you understand ? Do you understand ?" Except he needn't even have bothered, cos 5 minutes after he finally arrives, there's a swarm of helicoptors airlifting everyone to safety anyway. Throw in a couple of dangerously contrived set-pieces (a pack of wolves, for crying out loud) and you have one of the most stinking, putrid slab of faeces ever dressed up as a "summer blockbuster".
Its too late for me now, but if you were thinking of going to see this cack, take my advice and spend the money on a jumbo-sized bag of Kitt-e-Litter from Petsmart instead. You'lll get far more entertainment out of it.
