Arctic Blast Audience Reviews

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
alanclarke-78565 I watched it because of all the jokes and "worst ever bad movie" claims.However I found this one quite decent and gripping and the cold fog more menacing than what other disaster movies come up with. I normally find disaster movies tedious, but this worked for me.As for those who feel 'suspension of disbelief' (required for virtually every movie ever made!) is beneath them, they end up writing reviews that are almost troll like.And as for the scientists writing here, um, you're not supposed to think that Darth Vader and Jedis or Wonder Woman or Superman actually exist....or might be capable of existing...My only criticism is the gratutitous moralising "Man did this!" when it was supposed to be solar flares (yes, pick holes, that's fun, but don't make out you're such an amazing sensible person compared to the film makers).
Sam Thompson An utter disaster that somehow found its way into British Netflix. A shameful attempt at continuing on where 'the day after tomorrow' left off.The acting is beyond atrocious, you needn't look further than the 'chocolate bar' scene to see this. In the scene, a character (the names are impossible to recall through the sheer rage this film induces) states she'd like some chocolate bars. Our main character then asks her when she last checked her blood sugar which, given that it is a totally spontaneous comment, tells us there will be issues later in the films regarding her having diabetes and not being able to leave the building due to the weather. This, shockingly, is revealed a mere 20 minutes later. Oh, if you got that far, I'm impressed already. The acting when it comes to 'freezing' is so cliché that it's embarrassing. Must be seen to be believed.The point that I turned the film off (after giving it multiple chances to redeem itself) comes after the emergency alert. All of Australia is being told that a deadly cold front that kills instantly is about to take the land into its icy tendrils... and nobody thinks to suspend aircraft from landing. As if that wasn't a poor enough blunder, when trying to tell a landing plane that they are experiencing 'dangerous weather' (which does it no justice at all), the pilot ignores the warning and lands anyway. Because pilots are well known for ignoring the instructions given by ground control right? Anyway, I turned this film off immediately following the shoddy explosion CGI. Not only is this a below freezing area which would presumably interact with flames in a very negative way, but the animating throughout is dated and poorly executed.Kudos to anyone who managed the entire film. That's time you'll never get back, but your persistence is admirable. Among the worst films I'be ever seen (and while my views tend to be controversial sometimes, watch it and you'll see the ratings are being kind).Do not subject yourself to this.Edits: Autocorrect...
juneebuggy As far as low budget, B-grade disaster flicks go this was about what you'd expect. I've seen way worse Sy Fy movies for sure. Decent enough premise (basically borrowed from 'The Day After Tomorrow') and an enjoyable lead in Michael Shanks who even gets a bit of a back story revolving around his teenage daughter and impending divorce.The story jumps around (a lot) between Philadelphia (actually Ottawa) and Hobart Australia (actually Hobart), following a renowned physicist trying to figure out how to stop a sudden climate shift which has opened up a hole in the ozone that threatens to engulf the world in a new Ice Age and wipe out mankind.Of course initially none of the higher up government dudes believe the hero scientist when he tells them that bad things are happening until, well, worse things happen. Taking the form of deadly ice fog (-90deg) killing in seconds and presumably able to chase cars. Airliners also crash, a research vessel runs aground full of soggy dead scientists, there are frozen surfers, general panic and running in the streets. You know all the stuff that makes for an "awesome" B movie.Some of the insta-freeze scenes are unintentionally hilarious, the budget is low so the special effects are all lame and of course none of the science works but I still had a good time with this. I am a fan of the good (bad) disaster flicks though. 12/27/14
transient-2 My initial response to this film was unfairly snide, searching the lead actor's face in vain for simple change of expression. But although it took some time, I was finally able to find redeeming value in this tepid disaster film; this apparent new sub-genre of divorced dads winning back their families by saving them from natural disasters might have some worth if you take a drink every time you see someone on the phone. Of course having a character talk on the phone does not contribute any sense of urgency or suspense. In fact watching people talk on the phone in films is as annoying as watching them talk on the phone in real life - but this film is annoying enough to leave you falling down drunk. Three sips for speaker-phone, two sips for a headset, this film promises a good time.
