The *only* good thing about this movie was the science lab scene with a rather holiday-enthused astronomer played by the brilliant Jonathon Young. Otherwise, this was the type of movie you only finish because you've already wasted so much time on it you have to keep watching to see JUST HOW BAD IT WILL GET... The story was ridiculous, the other actors were terrible and the special effects were worse than pathetic. I love a good sci-fi movie, but this was just a cheesy thriller with a crappy plot and nothing remotely convincing.

A meteorite brings ice and freezing temperatures, which threatens to harm the residents of a small Montana town at Christmas.It would be nice to be able to say good things about this film, but there really is nothing nice to say. The script is nonsense, the science completely made up (remember when SyFy had heart?) and none of the actors seem anything special. The romantic aspect is garbage, with two overall pale kids pretending to be cold... and not trying very hard, because the girl never even puts her hood up.Someone thought they were being clever by naming the rival families Ratchet and Crooge, an obvious allusion to "A Christmas Carol". The head of the Crooge family is Ben, clearly a shortening of Ebenezer. But the problem is that the name "Crooge" sounds so forced coming out of the characters' mouths... there had to be a better way.

This movie has no real story, a total lack of directing talent, bad acting, and mediocre effects. Did I mention the story is pretty bad? This movie is a total waste of time. The people that pirated it should demand the producer refund the cost of the blank DVD. I expect movies of this type to have some degree of unbelievably odd concepts, but this is more of the same genre of those space movies that would be good if not for the lame premise, which is sort of the level of a beginning middle school student. Some of the recent disaster movies have depended quite a bit on CGI, but even that could not save this disaster of a disaster film. Watch it if you want, but don't say I didn't warn ya. Promoted from a 1 because I managed to make it through the thing. There are other disaster films that are not so good and totally science free, but would make for at least a fun evening. 2012, The day after tomorrow, the core, and several other "just fun" movies come to mind. I could see a cult following, but I doubt if it will become that well known.

The science made no sense but the special effects were a lot better then I expected.The plot was interesting, not the typical fair. The idea of a meteor splitting in two, one half cold and one half hot was a little far fetched.I liked the action in the movie, the boat scene and the snowmobile were the best. Out running the ice storms was a little over the top. This movie did not spare the bodies. A lot of good people died in this movie.One part that did not make a lot of sense to me was that every once in a while there was a gigantic ice crystal popping up out of the ground that could destroy a car or helicopter and would cause the cold to dissipate in all directions freezing every thing in its path.
