Sub Zero (2005)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

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

interesting premise to start there is a bomb on top of one of the highest mountains in the world,, the president enlists the help of two top climbers in the world to get their butt up there and disarm it. beautiful mountain scenery,, it's almost like the mountain was a character in the movie. Costas Mandylor and Nia Peeples give pretty good performances as well. some decent avalanche footage in here as well, I went into this picture expecting action, thrills and some suspense, and guess what I got all 3 so anything else would be a bonus, like I said, it's gonna get a 5 because it's not a terrible movie at all, but not a great one either,, it's middle of the road for me.

OK, much has already been said about the ridiculous plot; total lack of research, shopping mall props and general total ignorance exhibited within every facet of this film. Evidently it was directed with contempt for the audience's intelligence. It did occur to me early on that this whole film might be a mis-packaged spoof of all the bad films that went before, but no - they appear to have been serious in their attempt. Although how anyone could think people would not notice the continuity errors (e.g. red rope/blue rope, tarmac outside the mountain-top gun station, Nissen huts suddenly changing shape, etc etc) is beyond me.But the crowning glory for me was:Do the producers really think that there are pine trees at the summit of K2?

Yes, this movie was truly pathetic. As another viewer points out, the mountain did an excellent job. Other than that, embarrassing. Terrible and inconsistent Russian accents, not to mention offensive stereotyping. A doctor who can diagnose "internal hemorrhaging" by touching the outside of an injured climber's parka. The female Russian climber actually looks like she is wearing jeans. The impossibly implausible position of the cube. The RIDICULOUS final climb with the cube--what is he holding on to? It is so clearly shot with them lying down horizontally. Flying effects that looked like a SNL skit.Nevertheless, it was still rather fun to watch how this train wreck of a movie would get worse.

Hard to imagine why a group of people would assemble to produce this. I just watched it on Pay Per View. I was in the mood for a "thriller", and the most skilled artisan involved in this production was the one who made the trailer look like it referenced a passable film. I do occasionally like to watch "rubbish" films, like the random Airline disaster... The ones where someone with the fear of flying lands the airplane with one wing, no wheels and after all the crew die after all drinking coffee spiked by a scorned lover, while callous Corporate overlords cover up the shoddy maintenance schedule of the aircraft.But... not this...Another commenter points out all the flaws relating to mountain climbing. The science is just as daft, the technology even worse and the political scenario's take the biscuit... So the UN sanction the creation of a doomsday satellite network, all controlled by one 4 inch remote control device thats guarded by, maybe 3 guys...I may have seen a worse movie in my life... But I cant think of one, right now.
