Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
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.
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Neil Welch Acorn-loving rodent Scrat inadvertently puts a comet on a collision course with Earth (don't ask!), following which our mismatched mammals have a world to save. And, all the while, dad Manny is having to deal with daughter Peaches' plans to go travelling with idiot boyfriend Julian. Assuming mammoths have boyfriends, of course.The fifth entry in the Ice Age saga once again finds a potentially earth-shattering disaster sharing centre stage with the soapy shenanigans of the main cast (as well as Peaches and Julian causing Manny heartache, Sid the Sloth actually has sufficient love-life for it to be causing him problems).The impending cometary collision is caused by Scrat pursuing acorns onto a flying saucer, frozen in ice, and then inadvertently piloting it into orbital disaster (fortunately, all the planetary bodies in the solar system are within about a hundred yards of each other, but it's a bit foolish of me to sarcastically make this point about a film featuring a cast of friendly talking mammoths, sloths, and sabre-tooth tigers). Scrat's stuff is, as always, comical knockabout humour and, for me, it was the best part of the film.The disaster plot fell a bit flat, as did Manny's concerns - these elements felt like little more than revisiting the difficulties in Continental Drift, and set me to wondering if these characters have now reached the end of their shelf life. They are pleasant enough company, but do they need to break new ground and, if so, how?Something else which seemed problematic to me was the CGI. The original character designs, of necessity, were blocky and relatively low on detail (CGI has moved on a lot in 14 years), and I've got used to CGI movies looking a great deal slicker than Ice Age 5 - which needs to share an aesthetic with its predecessors - does. Oh, it has moved on, but it has a tricky line to tread.The voice cast does fine, as always, and I suspect that this will sit happily in a 5-movie set but, to me, it felt as if this series has reached the end of the road.
Paul Magne Haakonsen "Ice Age: Collision Course" is easily the best of the entire franchise. And that is not only because the technology has gotten much better since the first "Ice Age" movie from 2002, but also because of the storyline and the comedy.I sat down with my seven year old son to watch "Ice Age: Collision Course" and I think we ended up being equally entertained and amused with this 2016 addition to the "Ice Age" franchise. Personally, I sat down to watch this because of Scrat, as he is just hilarious, despite him only being a supporting character.The story in "Ice Age: Collision Course" starts out with Scrat accidentally managing to trigger a cosmic event that comes to threaten Earth in his constant quest to acquire his precious acorn. With doom fast approaching it is up to the ragtag group of friends to come together with a plan how to save everything they love and hold dear.The animation style and art style is just lovable, as it has been in all of the "Ice Age" movies. But of course this becomes improved with each movie as the technology becomes better. And the level of detail and finesse the animators manage to come up with never cease to amaze me. It is visually stunning to sit through "Ice Age: Collision Course", no doubt about it.And it is also always a treat when they get the same voice actors and actresses to return to revisit their characters, as it gives a good continuation to the characters and you easily reconnect with the characters from that recognition of a familiar voice.As for the voice acting, then they really managed to get an all-star ensemble of voice acting performers together for this movie. And aside from Scrat, whom is relatively unvoiced, then my favorite is Denis Leary as he puts a voice to Diego."Ice Age: Collision Course" is filled with lots of laughs and really funny situations that are so nicely animated and brought to life on the screen. And it is especially great because they continue on with the type of comedy established in the first movie and seen throughout the entire franchise, but also manages to add something new to each movie.If you enjoyed the previous "Ice Age" movies, then you definitely do not want to miss out on "Ice Age: Collision Course".
TxMike We saw this at home on DVD from our public library. About halfway through my wife commented "This is not as good as the first one." True, nor as good as the second one, or the third one, etc.Part of the initial enjoyment was the novelty of the various wild animals getting along in prehistoric times, during the Ice Ages. Never mind that the actual chronology is inaccurate. In fact there is an 8- minute "extra" on the DVD where Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson addresses a number of the "scientific" points in this animated movie and explains why they might be grossly different from reality. All in fun of course. He even voices one of the characters.Where the other movies featured a short segment of Scrat getting into a bind, the story here in essence features Scrat's bind within the core story. Because of Scrat's ineptness he accidentally sets in motion events that created the Solar System as we know it, forming Jupiter's giant red spot, formation of the asteroid belt, the moon's orbiting around the Earth, and a few others.The big one amounted to an asteroid that would hit Earth soon and result in another mass extinction, all because of Scrat's ineptness. So all the animals on Earth have to pool their wisdom and strength to divert the asteroid.It runs 90 minutes and often gets tedious, the core story interrupted by sight gags and short vignettes. I laughed a few times but if I had never seen this movie it would not have been a significant loss.
