Excuse me, can I have that hour and a half back?
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.

The only thing worse than the writing is , , ,
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.

Shaking my head
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.
Day After Tomorrow... Wannabe
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*

One of the worser movies i've seen
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.

- GoofsThe glacier was traveling at 200 mph against the ocean currents. Even assuming all the oceans currents instantaneously reversed direction, the glacier should have collided with Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador before ever hitting Maine.
