100 Degrees Below Zero (2013)

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Paris is a city of some 7 million people, and they all evacuated in 10 minutes, leaving the main kids the city to themselves for most of the movie. This movie begs for IMDb to re-insert its message boards, just so we can make fun of movies like this. The dwarf dude from Lord of the Rings provided the only drama when he made the plane wait an extra 10 minute before taking off. How many times could the main kid run into the girl he was checking out earlier in the film?

Wow. This is absolutely the best in family entertainment...if your family surname happened to be Palin or Trump, your IQ is 50 or less and/or your normal idea of wholesome family fun is to try and figure out who just how many "Worst Ever" awards a movie could win the this movie (can we actually call it a movie?) is a handsome winner.Let's just look at the "special" effects alone. This movie features a helicopter that flies without main rotor blades, a twin engine piston aircraft descending from 35,000 feet...an altitude it could not have climbed to within 15,000 feet of and buildings that collapse under earthquakes but are still very patently standing.Audience's should be compensated for their time in watching...or given the opportunity of sticking rusty needles in their eyes as as alternate means of entertainment.For true fans don't miss the sequel "100 degrees above zero Downunder" when a bunch of Australian wildlife band together to eat the excruciating escaping northerners!

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.

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.
