In a nutshell.....asteroid hits town starting to celebrate Christmas, Santa gets flash frozen, people scream, people flee and good looking lead actor and actress save town just before everyone is flash frozen.
Too bad Mystery Science Theater is not still on TV, because this movie is perfect for it. There is no story line, no character development, no acting of note, no anything other than wall-to-wall things/people being flash frozen. There is not even a point to who is/isn't flash frozen. But trying to find something positive to say, it does have a lot of actors who were in other shows/movies that were much better.
Its just a classically bad sci-fi movie and the kind of movie for people who are into such things.

Okay, so I'll say this...the movie was nice but I could have done without all of the lead girl's screaming. She was a little annoying and I did not like her brother at all so I was glad when he was out of the picture. Other than that, I'd say that it's worth the watch. Side note: Her love interest, the young guy with the dark hair reminds me a lot of Edward (Robert P.) from the Twilight series. He's kinda sexy!!!
Everybody kept saying they was freezing but didn't bother to pull their hood over their heads. The girl constant screaming was very so annoying. The flash freeze froze some people to ice and skipped the rest as if they wasn't there, just get up and walk away. Wasn't much thought written into this movie.
Is it incredibly stupid? Yes, and to its credit it knows it. Though we start in a university, any science accuracy is soon disregarded, for the bettter i think, it wouldnt have been half as fun if it had tried for seriousness or listened to science, no it is sdumb sure but like a knights tale, choosing to run on rule of cool, adding a bit of plot armor to its protagonists as they defy science magic and everything in between.
It also has a familiar cast if you watch canadian-filmed scifi which adds to the enjoyment in mt opinion.
I particularly enjoyed the line 'it isnt magic it is science' when the movie completely ignores science for the other 99.9% of the film.
And i must say i appreciate the lack of forced romance that is so damn common otherwise.

The *only* good thing about this movie was the science lab scene with a rather holiday-enthused astronomer played by the brilliant Jonathon Young. Otherwise, this was the type of movie you only finish because you've already wasted so much time on it you have to keep watching to see JUST HOW BAD IT WILL GET... The story was ridiculous, the other actors were terrible and the special effects were worse than pathetic. I love a good sci-fi movie, but this was just a cheesy thriller with a crappy plot and nothing remotely convincing.
