I was expecting the movie to be similar to "The day after tomorrow" or "2012", but the actors are horrible, the script is bad and the storyline isn't new.
You get irritated by the characters right off the start. Some movies are bad in a way that it become fun to watch, but this one is just bad.
Overall, I didn't enjoyed it because I didn't like you but merely because the movie itself is an empty shell. Characters were badly developed making you wanting them to die at the beginning. Also they focus too much on the characters rather on the actual event. So for those wanting to see The Day after Tomorrow style of movies, you be very disappointed.
You being warned.
+1 for effort +1 for video quality +1 for sound quality

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*

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.
Within the first five minutes the father establishes himself as the single least likable person on earth. A few minutes later we learn this out of shape obnoxious jerk is married to a former Playboy Playmate (MCCullough), so we know we know we are deep in male fantasy territory here. We then learn he has the know-it-all son and estranged teenage daughter required in all Asylum movies, implying he had sex with said Playboy Playmate at least twice. Our worst fears are confirmed. This isn't merely a teenage male fantasy, but a cartoon.
What follows is cartoon level idiocy of the highest order. The coyote and roadrunner is more believable. I won't spoil the ending, but if the "actors" lived through it you wouldn't know it by their reactions. I cannot imagine what a casting session for these films must be like. Where do they find these people?
No stars.

This has got to be one of the worlds worst movies of all time
The main characters specifically the dad and mom have got to be the worst actors ever
.and the director needs his a** kicked..so many screw ups and the editing is a nightmare
one minute the family is on a snow covered road with no traffic then they get a phone signal and pull over on a non snowy road with traffic going by them
.just one of the many many things
....I mean the storyline is a good one but the they should at least cast actors that ...well....can actually act......
I think I could have edited this better with Windows movie maker.....complete trash!!
