VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
iamtankman This poor excuse for a movie was absolutely horrible. Poor writing and acting. Total garbage. Don't waste your time. I'd rather crawl through 2 miles of broken glass and then roll through the shafts of a salt mine then watch this movie again. R. Lee Ermey is a good TV show host, but a horrible actor. The special effects suck. It's so low budget, they use the same avalanche footage again and again for 3 separate avalanches. The music is terrible. Lets see, what else can I say to express how terrible this movie is? I'm really trying to express to you that this has to be one of the worst movies ever. Will someone please shoot me now? I'm just going to copy and paste this again. This poor excuse for a movie was absolutely horrible. Poor writing and acting. Total garbage. Don't waste your time.

beegeebright It really is about as bad a movie as I have ever seen. It is hard to find a single redeeming thing to say about it. The acting was awful; the romance totally unbelievable. I guess I'd never seen Juneau before in a movie. I would recommend that you watch it only if trapped in a mountain cabin room with a TV but no other furniture, books, people, radios or light and if you aren't tired already because this one will certainly put you to sleep. I like disaster movies and can watch the worst of them, and have, but this one has made me rethink ever watching one ever again. It gave a whole new meaning to the catchphrase disaster movie, it is a disaster to watch, not just about a disaster.
director24F Want one Reason to buy or watch Avalanche 1999? Want it or not it's Hilary Shepard as Annie. Let the non-existent polar bear eat the others, but give me more of that killer babe in those tight spray-on pants. Like the best wines she just keeps getting better with age. Great casting, even better wardrobe, and who cares what she says or doesn't! She looks great doing it !!!!! Stock footage? Who cares???? Hilary forgives a multitude of sins! If she were on the other side of the confessional, I wouldn't miss going! Avalanche is a better view than the nightly news, a credit I'd take, and cash is cash - no pro on the pic has anything to be embarrassed about. Not every pic needs to have or can have a 'billion' dollar budget. It's a watch able film & I'd for one visit Alaska because of it. It's probably more accurate, true to life, etc. than Election 2004. A good film to have on in the background or work to.
myke00-1 I have just watched the movie on late night TV. I think the writers and every other person involved in making this movie should have done a little research and found out a few things about Alaska, Juneau and polar bears. In one scene the two main characters are chased by polar bears. Sorry but there are not any that south around Juneau. The caribou also run way more to the north unless they were trying to say in the film that they were able to get all the way to the north part of Alaska in a matter of a few minutes of flying. I think the next time Juneau let someone come in and film about the city they should read the script first. I do agree that the stock footage is much to be desired.
