Product Description

INTER SCI climatologist David Koch (Jeff Fahey) has evidence that a shift in the Earth's polarity triggered the last Ice Agein a single day. Now, it's happening again, and there's no time to escape. As the temperature plummets, Miami is blasted with snow and ice. Evacuation routes are jammed. The only chance David, his old flame Bryn (Erika Eleniak), and a few other hopeful survivors have is to hole themselves up in a special chamber at INTER SCI. A desperate race for survival is ignited as nature's fury rages and the temperature plunges toward -459.67° F...ABSOLUTE ZERO!

Terrible - Reviewed on 2008-12-14

Terrible Movie...I Wish I could return it and get my 5 dollars back. The fact that it's low budget is not even an excuse. The acting is beyond bad and the story line is terrible.

-One of the main characters loses her husband in a phony... unreal tragic scene and she barely sheds a tear. I stress {A TEAR} literally.

-The main scientist/lead actor is in some ice cave at one point that is several hundred feet below the surface and his friend is killed...At this point you figure the main character is trapped with ice falling and the cave that he was in was caving in. You'd think the director would use this window to thrill us on how the scientist managed to get out of such a tough situation. Nope. As soon as the friend dies, they cut to the next scene where the scientist is in some lab doing test. This left me wondering for the rest of the entire movie.. HOW DID HE GET OUT OF THAT SITUATION?

It's like if you were watching a movie based on a plane and the bad guys were killed, but the plane is flying unmanned. You would want to know how the hero landed the plane. It would be a huge let down for the hero to kill all the bad guys and then the next scene is the hero at the hospital receiving minor medical treatment. You want to see how the hero landed or escaped the unmanned plane scene.

- Irony- The lead scientist is concerned about the Earth's polarity, the temperatures, and global warming. His concerns are so great and deeply rooted that he drives around in a Hummer (H2) getting 9 mpg while emitting 3.4 metric tons of carbon emissions per year. Yes this scientist is really concerned about the earth.

-As temperatures reach absolute zero--The cast is running towards a safe room that is suppose to protect them. Well, On the way to the room, the lead scientist's boss stops running and decides to collect some contract papers or something and dies as the ice freezes him. Pretty realistic... The entire Miami area is being frozen and the boss is worried about contracts.

Please do not buy this movie..Unless you like laughing at bad acting, terrible plots, and terrible animations. I'm pretty sure you could find all the explosions used in this film by searching for "explosion gif" in any search engine. I can not believe this movie came out in 2006 or at all for that matter.

Great movie! - Reviewed on 2008-07-02

Sure, it's a low-budget, campy movie...but that's what makes it great! Good acting, bad dialogue, and special effects. Definitely a must see if you like low-budget sci-fi movies.

This movie lives up to it's name, in fact the writers are probably still laughing at not only coming up with the title but getting paid minimum wage to write the script. This movie is pure garbage, your time is better spent watching weeds grow than viewing this "masterpiece" Erika Eleniak, the only reason, most people watched this, looks like she gained 40 pounds for this movie. Don't waste your time!
Actually, pretty decent once you get past the title - Reviewed on 2008-03-25

OK, the science is nonsense. And winds at absolute zero? Winds=friction=heat, so nonsense. Still, it's nice to see Jeff Fahey (an amazing actor; note how different he is, vocally, posture, etc., from his role on The Lost). "Science is always right" he says. Nope. One could argue the opposite. Still and all, the script is very good, with some great lines, and there's lots of action. The FX aren't up to Day After Tomorrow, but aren't totally hokey. It's a B movie, but a good B movie, and definitely not a D movie (like Sunshine!). For the price, a real bargain, and a great addition to your disaster film library.
One little oddity: I guess the script called for Fahey's character to be David Koch, and the DVD case repeats this. But everyone calls him David Kotchman (or Kotzman).

This has to be the funniest movie I have ever seen. The sad part is it was supposed to be serious. It had to be the most ridiculous movie I've seen, from the awful actors to the idiotic story line that includes an iceberg in the Miami harbor, the very predictable reunion of two old lovers made convenient when the present husband of the former girlfriend gets taken out by a virtual palmtree thru the windshield, and the scattered bursts of below zero weather sandwiched between otherwise 80 degree weather. One of my favorite parts was when the scientists had to go outdoors to get to another building when the temperature was already like 355 degrees below zero and still dropping dressed in paper thin looking spacesuits. Another favorite was the helicopter showing up about 5 minutes after the temperature hit minus 459 and flying directly over the shelter the scientists had sought refuge in. I guess they put Prestone in the fuel to keep it from freezing solid, as the same must have been done to the window on the roof, the only two things in the whole city that somehow went unscathed by the absolute zero cold. The boy and girl attempt at romance was goofy beyond words, and the money hungry executive was the worse job of over-acting this side of James T. Kirk.
