Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Nayan Gough 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.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Platypuschow Just as I was getting the smell of xmas spice candles out of my clothes along comes a wintery christmas movie courtesy of the Scyfy channel.This Canadian made movie stars Laura "The Faculty" Harris and tells the odd tale of a snow globe that inflicts natural disasters on the town.Scyfy originals have a really bad rap, I personally find them entertaining enough with the rare exceptions (Sharknado I'm looking at you). I consider them charming dumb fun and this is a fine example.Snowmageddon is slightly above par, yes it has weak sfx and yes the whole thing is head scratchingly stupid in places but there is certainly entertainment to be found.If you like Scyfy's goofy movies then you'll like this, if not then perhaps steer clear.The Good:Some good ideasCast do a great jobScyfy charmThe Bad:Usual ropey sfxThings I Learnt From This Movie:I assume after he threw the globe into the lava the eagle picked him up right Gandalf?

PartialMovieViewer I have decided to cheer on SyFy Channel no matter what. I have come to the conclusion, I don't care what it is the powers-to-be toss out there, I will watch the stupid thing…and like it. Similar to that old commercial with kid who think the cereal given to him is poison and then decides to give it to his clueless brother, I feel SyFy" is TV's version of Mikey. The regular networks won't touch the programs – feed them to SyFy. Firstly, all of these shows have more cheese than Wisconsin; they stink worse than a stopped up Alaskan-outhouse and each script makes less sense than a clowder of unsatisfied, horny cats. But that doesn't matter (in this case at least.) I may sound cruel, but for the most part, they are enjoyable. The makers of this celluloid mayhem are not serious, so why should I be? As long as the laughs at least seem unintentional, I will devour these comedies whenever and wherever. Keep them coming, and feed me more of the "SyFy Koolaide." Oh and about "Snowmageddon", it's pretty much the same as "Ice Twisters", "Ice Quake" and "Piranhaconda." Something happens to a town, people splatter blood and all is good at the end. I will give this cinema-graphic phenomenon a big 6/10.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Well, it isn't going to become any Christmas classic, that's for sure.The story in "Snowmageddon" is about a mysterious snow globe that is left at the doorstep of the Miller family. The snow globe is a replica of the small lazy town of Normal, Alaska. Rudy Miller discovers that the catastrophic events that unfold inside the snow globe once it is winded up also happens in real life, right in their little town.Initially, the storyline is sort of silly, but the movie actually works out well enough, because it is so cheesy. However, what makes this movie bearable to sit through is the acting. People cast for the movie actually pulled off their characters quite nicely, and it could have been much worse, had their acting skills been halting as is the case in most of these type of movies. But luckily, the cast here were able to pull up the movie.As for the effects, well... Let's just say, don't prepare yourself to be blown away by the special effects. The effects in "Snowmageddon" are far from impressive. They do, however, get the job done, and most of the time work out well enough.There are far worse movies of the same genre out there, many of which spewed out from SyFy Channel and The Asylum, so it was a fresh breath of air to have a movie that actually managed to stay a bit more afloat in the pond of otherwise unbearable movies.One thing did puzzle me about "Snowmageddon", though. For a movie with a title such as it did, where was all the snow? I was expecting blizzards and such, but the snow was restricted to the mountain alone. And that sort of took away something from the movie, because the title did hint towards something that unfortunately never took place.If you enjoy cheesy and campy disaster movies, where the story doesn't necessarily have to be 'realistic', then "Snowmageddon" is perhaps worth your time. I do believe, however, that this movie is the type of movie you watch once and then never again.

celestemekent One awful disaster movie, with no explanations poor acting and clearly not worth the two hours it takes to watch it on TV. No connection is ever made to explain the connection between the snow globe and the disasters in the town, no explanation of why it was ever created or who might have brought these on the towns folk.The viewer is clearly in danger of losing whatever intelligence they may have by watch this movie so run, don't walk away from it! Mysterious cracks show up all around the town with fire and yet there is no offer of how or why. Mysteriously trees pop out of the ground in random places that skewer folks and cars. The most frustrating thing about this plot is the total lack of the presence of the creator of this mysterious snow globe and any reasonable explanation why it has appeared who its creator is and why all of these disasters are happening to this tiny town of Normal Alaska. It left me pulling out my hair in frustration.
