Having read the reviews before actually watching it, I noticed how many felt it was a bad movie. I'm glad I still decided to watch it. Yes, it's a B-movie and the special effects weren't good. There's little else to say about that, the special effects just left much to be desired. On top of that some things happened that didn't make much sense or were just unneeded filler. If you look past that, the story itself is a decent one and not too cliché. While there are things that were expected to happen, there were still some unexpected turns of events and some questions that were only answered at the ending. The characters are decent, some are a bit cliché, but they were put down decently and it's easy to sympathize with the main character. The overall ending may not be much of a surprise, one aspect of it hits surprisingly hard, even if it's one you see coming from the moment the scene starts.Overall, if you can look past special effects and the inconsistencies, it's a movie worth watching.

There is some part of me that always reminisces about watching 'Lois and Clark'...I loved that show.Which is why I keep watching every stinker put out by Dean Cain...some part of me still sees him as Clark Kent, and wants to like him.But this is another example of a terrible acting job by Mr. Cain. I mean, he was terrible! The other actors in the movie weren't much better. And you kinda lose respect for his character about 10 minutes in, as he screws some woman he doesn't even know, knowing that his wife is still out there, waiting for him.All in all, a thoroughly terrible movie. The writing was bad, the directing was bad, and the acting was TERRIBLE!

Did you ever read "Time of the Great Freeze" by Robert Silverberg or go see "Damnation Alley?" If so, then you've seen this film before--only this time, it's a post Tunguska-like comet impact instead of World War III and no giant cockroaches this time. Dean Cain and a husky named "Sasquatch" lead a team through Ice Age Europe to rescue lost scientists trapped in Berlin in Landmaster-like vehicles. A B-movie science fiction film with all of the associated trappings. Not too bad digital special effects.Turn off your brain and enjoy, then go get "Damnation Alley" for a (slightly) better performance.

This movie starts off with a decent premise: a meteor has hit the Earth in Europe and cast the world into a perpetual winter.The Northern Hemisphere is in an ice age and the equatorial areas are in a state of perpetual gloom and rain. Three years after the event, its determined that someone is controlling a satellite that has the capacity to destroy what remains of the Earth's population. A "crack" team is sent in to the impact zone in Germany to determine where the signals controlling the satellite are originating.So far so good, right? Wrong.The producers of this movie decided to destroy the promise of this movie by inserting terrible dialog, huge and obvious plot holes, glaring continuity errors, and so many logical and factual inconsistencies that the movie makes your head spin.Plot changes occur without any rhyme or reason; its as if they fired and hired writers but had already shot the scenes from the original writer and decided to leave it in the film.Heres a few clunkers: When the team is initially inserted via a special cargo plane carrying some weird airborne tank thingy, there appears to be about 8 crewmembers including the 4 main characters, but as they run into difficulties later in the movie, there always seems to be a couple extras who magically appear to be shot or garroted from behind, etc.When they meet with the subterranean denizens of Berlin, they all speak English, and are relatively unconcerned by this arrival of the first outsiders in three years. They are all wearing spiffy new ski jackets, yet burning trash in barrels like a bunch of Bowery bums.Dean Cains character takes several shots from a 9mm glock, yet is able to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and avoid falling from a catwalk by hanging on with one arm. During the same scene, he applies a tourniquet to his arm, (the same one he uses to dangle from the catwalk) and it disappears just before his second fight with "The Bitch who Wouldn't Die".Later, we see Cain in the closing shots wearing the same parka, which has miraculously had its bullet holes and bloodstains removed.All in all, I can only recommend this film to film students as a caution on how not to make a movie.
