INTER SCI climatologist Dr. David Kotzman has evidence that a shift in the Earth's polarity triggered the last Ice Age...in 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, 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!

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
sinsic i saw this movie with no expectations , and i enjoyed it... it's a funny movie.. full of all the cheese you would expect from a low budget film.. i'd prob watch it again too.. on one of my less sober nights... .. ............. sad thing is i have had this movie for quite some times... i forgot where i got it from... but it's just been sitting there waiting for me to watch it... to be honest, i watch this movie while waiting on a download to finish... by the time the movie was over i still had an extra 34 mins left so i decided to write a review about it... it's a pretty interesting movie.. and i don't think that it's trying to copy any other movie... it's pretty original...
whisperhog I can't tell you how amusing it was to see downtown Vancouver being passed off as Miami, Florida. As Fred Ewanuick (of "Corner Gas" fame) put it: "This place is starting to look like Canada." To be honest, there were too many ridiculous errors to count. Obviously, this "film" was slapped together with a minimum of funding, even less background research, and NO talent. Hard to imagine what they were thinking when they put this grotesque farce on celluloid.Of course, the stock news footage of winter in Canada was a big help; No need for special effects there.The background paintings on the sound stages were positively amateurish, looking for all the world like something you might see on the wall of a Days Inn motel room.Bad acting, bad plot, bad special effects... Well, this movie is just plain bad.I think that this cinematique train wreck is aptly dubbed a disaster movie, coz it sure as heck is one big disaster.Besides, Miami could never freeze over because of all the hot air generated by the Cubans.'Nuff said...
Amy Adler David Koch (Jeff Fahey), a climatologist working for Miami-based Inter-Sci, is suddenly sent to Antarctica to investigate a change in climate. Some scientists on the icy continent were killed when there was an abrupt spike in temperature, resulting in shifting ice flows that sent them into the icy waters below. When David arrives down under, the remaining crew tell him that a "cave" has appeared, one that was not noticeable before, and which may have answers to the current phenomena. David leads a group to the cavern but, despite finding prehistoric "cave paintings" that suggest the climate on Antarctica was once warmer, the unstable weather creates death traps. Only David makes it out alive, natch. Back in Miami, David hooks up with a science colleague and his wife, Bryn (Erika Eleniak) who run data and come to the startling conclusion that the earth's "poles" are shifting and that Miami will become the new Antarctice in less than 4 days. Of course, the scummy, money-grubbing leader of Inter-Sci locks horns with David and insists to the United States military that the change in climate will evolve more slowly and that, in any case, the company has it covered. Ho ho, what fun is ahead! David, it turns out, is correct and soon folks sunning by the posh hotels' pools are being pelted with snow and sleet. With only a limited time to get everyone evacuated from Miami and into "warmer" New York and other upper regions, what will be the result? Actually, as far as "B" movies go, I thought this one was pretty entertaining. The cast is not stellar by any means, with Fahey and Eleniak, longtime B stars, looking older and tired and the others not doing Oscar work either. Then, too, the script veers off into silliness from time to time, as it tries to recount a long ago love affair between David and Bryn. But, when it gets down to science and special effects, the film fares much better. The whole premise is fairly interesting and the "chilling" of Miami is fun to watch. Yes, it takes a few pages from The Day After Tomorrow, with its rolling deep freeze frames. But, what the heck, if you love science fiction and chaotic weather situations, you would probably get a kick out of this one, especially on sweltering summer nights when re-runs are the only other options. Go for it.
waynermasters Honestly, this was without a doubt one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I don't know what was worse - the fact that it was a pay per view movie on Cox, or the movie in general for being so terrible. I think it would save time to point out the good parts of the movie... simply put, there are none. It was a nice touch though - Ontario plates for a movie taking place in Miami... like I said - absolute trash. I admire the fact that Canada lends itself to the motion picture industry. But for God's sake, can you try and round up some people that can act? Honestly, Tim Hortons isn't necessarily the place to find actors for a movie that you've invested time and money into. I can't fathom what the producers were thinking to allow this trash to be released to the public. It should have been rated "F" for failure.
