this is probably the worst disaster movie ever made. You guys are retarded! All there is in this film is land full of snow and ice and a group of retards looking for a hotter place. Gosh, idiots! What were you guys thinking when you made this piece of crap? You're bugging the heck out of me. Gosh, idiots! Why don't you just watch this, see if you can beat yourselves up for making this in the first place. Why make this movie about a country basically a bigger version of the Arctic? It's almost like you guys have to live in Antarctica to make this movie. You writers probably have nothing else to do but to think up a story with selfish people, retarded special effects, and no credibility.

Although a precursor to The Day After, this movie had little to recommend it. The plot is on thin ice and the cast is continually falling through that thin veneer of that verisimilitude. The premise is that the sun has a major outbreak of sunspots and the earth goes cold. OK, let's accept that. But it seems like only one scientist thinks that's a big deal. Why? Unlike The Day After, when what is happening is quite complex and the results of rising ice melt, which causes falling salinity levels which causes a change in oceanic currents is much more theoretical and opaque...thus it is not "known" what will happen. In this movie only one thing happens, increased sun spot activity. That's pretty easy to spot and analyze. More than one scientist would be clamoring for recognition. So, if you remove the "need" for this one scientist, the plot melts altogether. But for the sake of argument, you say that you just must have Dr. Kistler, might you not send troops to get him as opposed to telling him to drive (an impossible task) to point XYZ where he will be picked up? There is just nothing about this plot that makes any sense.The special effects were not very special and the science was unscientific. You can't just huddle around a fireplace with temps of -50, wind blowing into your house through broken glass windows and survive. You can't wander around in a leather jacket in the same weather (and stay alive.) You'll never get a CAT designed for LA to function in -50 temps. Oh, there are too many flaws to list.As for the collapse of social order, I don't doubt that it might not happen, but not the way this picture depicts it.There was a point to The Day After. The point was that we are not handling our home planet well and that we don't even try to, or at least those currently in power don't try to. That's accurate.This movie's point, if it had one, is that govt. is slow to respond to imminent disaster. No kidding.

This movie is beyond comment. So, i don't waste my time anymore. Neither should you, don't watch it. You will be sorry. Someday it will appear on TV or you'll get it gift rapped as a present, just like me. Of course you are a bit curious. You never heard of this title.There is a good reason for that. Nobody in their right mind, will tell you about it when they watched the movie. Nor shall you, believe me.Maybe there should be a law against these kind of films. I am dutch, so I live in the most free country in the whole world (Yes, including the USA). But still this movie makes me doubt if there shouldn't be some censorship to protect innocent watchers.

Well, after the relative fail of a marketing bluff such as The Day After Tomorrow, I think it is time to concede some merit to this cheap, earlier movie that, in my humble opinion, developed a much more convincing story about a new Ice Age. Just wonder what could have be done with THIS script and The Day After Tomorrow resources? I simply must say that I felt much colder watching at this movie. The loneliness of the characters, some believable fights for the survival... all of this made the characters convincing and the whole story acceptable. Besides, this movie just was interested in COLD, and not in POLITICS. Quite entertaining. I rated it a 7
