Although that doesn't make the movie great. 2012: ICE AGE is a typical Asylum disaster flick, heavily copying THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW in its tale of a breakaway 'rogue' glacier that heads towards the Eastern Seaboard of the USA, bringing snowstorms and wreaking havoc as it approaches. The usual bunch of scientists and their assorted family members have to dodge disaster staples while the boffins try to figure out what to do.You know the story here if you've seen any of the other endless Asylum disaster flicks: lots of low rent mayhem involving freezing clouds, sudden snowstorms, and landmarks being destroyed on a very small budget. All of the FX mentioned above are brought to life by very dodgy CGI, which isn't too poor, but the CGI vehicles (planes, cars) are something else entirely; computer game quality, if that.The cast is populated by various non-entities and haggard-looking actresses and despite the constant danger the characters find themselves in there's no real suspense or tension at any point. Thus it's business as usual for The Asylum, and torture as usual for any viewers unlucky enough to be watching. And for the record, 2012: ICE AGE isn't as bad as Miami MAGMA and JET STREAM.

It's hard to imagine a movie worst than this, though if I put my mind to it I can probably think of a few. Everything is bad: the acting, the dialogue, the special effects, and the (lack of) character development. I'm trying to think of something redeeming about this movie. A least it's makes two other movies seem believable (The Day After Tomorrow and Daylight - both of which seem to be borrowed from in the development of this screenplay. In true disaster movie/horror movie fashion, people keep running directly into danger and having both unbelievable and annoying dialogue.That's two hours of my life I can never get back.

Yah, its pathetic, sad, but true. The big studios are so scared of Asylum and other companies like them that they will stoop to any low to badmouth the new competition. Asylum actually makes very entertaining movies and they do it sensibly. I have recently become a fan because after watching a few they got me hooked. They do produce some stinkers too, but compared to all of that superhero Krapola the bigs are shoveling out they still manage to shine.Im not a fan of disaster movies but this one is one of the best I have seen. The cast is competent and the special effects are actually very OUTSTANDING thank you very much. Most Asylum films are fun, escapist yes, but fun. The leading man (sorry, can't spell that name) was very good in a everyman hero type way. He did what he had to do and pretty much kept his family together and safe. When he could he helped others too. The script was fine and the story was easy to follow and relate to. (especially if you have ever been stuck in traffic during a winter storm!) Check this one out and check out other stuff by Asylum. Its enjoyable stuff and ain't that what we look for in a film?

I like natural disaster movies, it's the only reason i wanted to see this one. I have a big tolerance when it comes to this kind of movies but this is too much. i've seen other natural disaster movies more than 2-3 times each so i thought i'd give this one a chance.stopped it after 10 minutes (couldn't take it no more).this movie is joke, an offense to the movie industry and i could go on. the effects were terrible, the actors played their parts like this was a cheap comedy,no reaction when learning such an unimaginable disaster is coming to hit them. this is without a doubt the worse movie i've ever seen, and i've seen a lot. PLEASE Don't WATCH THIS!!
