Ice Planet Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Paul Magne Haakonsen Odd how this movie managed to score such a low rating, as it actually turned out to be a rather good Sci-Fi movie. I found it to be much better than I had expected it to be due to the low rating. I still did give it a chance because I had the chance to sit down and watch it.The story is about the human space fleet coming under a sudden attack. And after suffering massive losses, the remaining fleet flee for their very lives, ending up at an unknown ice planet where the fate of mankind will be shaped.As for the story, well, it was adequate. Not the most captivating, thrilling or innovative of stories, I will give you that much. But it was still enjoyable.What impressed me was the atmosphere of the movie, the costume designs and the special effects. As for the atmosphere, then I really enjoyed that frozen tundra feeling, always have since "The Empire Strikes Back". The costumes in "Ice Planet" were nicely designed and crafted, and had a very unique sense of authenticity to it. And as for the special effects, while they were not blowing-you-away-impressive they served their purpose and came off realistically enough.The acting in "Ice Planet" was good, although I can't claim to pint out any single one to be outstanding or memorable for that matter.An adequate Sci-Fi movie which genuinely surprised me and turned out to be entertaining. If you like Sci-Fi you should give "Ice Planet" a chance.
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews It's after a war between two factions that are not mentioned again(so don't worry about remembering their names), and the Magellan, a new spacecraft is on a mission so secret that it's apparently not known to even Captain Badass(Wes Studi... and no, that isn't really what he's called, but it is what he's good at being). When they're attacked by a Black Hole Fart, that kills... some... people... yeah, it's not properly established, and it's not the only thing in this. Anyway, they stand no chance, so they activate the hufrgmh in their craft, which transports them... somewhere, sometime, to the titular Ice Planet. If this sounded confusing, that's just the beginning. This hardly explains *anything* at all. Mostly, when it tries, it just raises more questions(someone call Hermes). Maybe it's trying to outdo Lost. And this, by the way, is a failed TV pilot. How they figured this would successfully launch anything other than the audience from their seats, I have no idea. It doesn't draw you in. Heck, the first dozen or so minutes, this shows these fragments of scenes that are supposed to, I guess, establish characters, environment and technology, and do none of the above, as they are so short and full of new stimuli that we don't know who, what, where or when before it moves on to the next one. FX vary between being so poor that you can't tell what's going on(that giant cloud? It attacks with strobe-lighting... does it hurt anyone? Dunno, you'll have to ask that guy trying to swallow his tongue whilst bathed in a green glow, as the budget evidently didn't allow to *show* if it does or not), and being fine. We do get a brief, kinda cool action sequence near the end of the 80 minute running time, featuring the Interceptors that Protoss Carriers use. Acting is poor. Armor and props in general tend to look goofy. Sets are decent. This has no ending, and with the TV series still not in production after nearly a decade... yeah. There is a little bloody, disturbing and violent content in this. I recommend this to those who gotta see for themselves how confused it is. 1/10
Altuniverz Even if this is not a perfect movie, it's packed with powerful ideas (isn't that what sci-fi is supposed to be) and some spectacular effects and Special FX locations. After an attack by an unknown alien entity on a series of human outposts in the solar system, a crew is thrown thru a time-space portal in an alien world where ancient alien conflicts set the agenda - what's cool (besides really great special FX battle scenes), is how haunting much of the film is, and how different the new world is.The acting isn't the greatest in all places although some of it is just fine. Wes Stdi seemed not to have a director -probably there could have been a better choice for the lead. Still, independent pictures that have ambition are the heart of an exciting time in movie-land. This film meets that test.Great concept, great originality.
midnight1138 Well that about says it all. I couldn't agree more with the other commentators on this movie. After watching it for 10 minutes the first thought of pressing the "STOP" button on the remote was triggered.But being a big SCI-FI buff and not wanting to jump to conclusions after the first minutes of viewing I decided to show mercy and watched it to the end, thinking it might become better as it went along.Big mistake..It didn't got better. After the ending I had absolutely no idea what this "movie" was about. The characters are as thin as cardboard and the storyline.. Well, if any of you figure it out feel free to drop me a line.On second thought let's forget about this movie and speak of it no more.<Conclusion>Don't:A) waste your money buying it.B) waste your time watching it, andC) don't say I didn't warn you... I thought I could digest just about any SF movie, until Ice Planet came along.
