Deserves everything bad that has been said about it

Before people start protesting that this is low-budget and not to take it seriously, I always take these into account before watching a movie from The Asylum or any other low-budget movie. The thing is, low-budget movies can have limitations but still be entertaining in some shape or form but then we have movies that are so amateurish and illogically stupid that they are difficult to defend. And the latter is the case with the worst of The Asylum, which as of now is where Age of Ice belongs.

Even for low-budget Age of Ice looks poor, while it constantly looks lifelessly drab, has limited settings and has camera work that at times can't stay still it is the editing and the special effects that are especially bad in this regard. The editing is incredibly sloppy and has more continuity errors enough to fill a book the equivalent of the longest Stephen King novel, Age of Ice really has to be one of the worst-edited movies not just in recent years but ever too. To say the special effects are appalling is being too kind(like the editing they're some of the worst I've seen),they look as though the production team had forgotten about doing them until late in production and worked at breakneck speed to complete them with no attention whatsoever to detail, size, colour or blend. In fact, they even look unfinished and even the worst designed video game effects look better than the effects in Age of Ice. The music is forgettable at best and is poorly recorded, sometimes too loud and sometimes too soft, while the direction is flat and screamed of inexperience.

Age of Ice is dreadfully written and enough to make you want to tear out your ear-drums. It constantly sounded awkward and with a complete lack of depth or emotion, coherence was hardly a strong suit either. The story was so thin structurally, so poorly developed(very little that needed to be is explained) and laboriously paced that if you were sure there was not a story here you can't be blamed. There were so many scientific and logic lapses too, and very obvious ones most of the time, that it was intelligence-insulting and there is the sense that even the writers had no clue what they were talking about hence the lack of coherence. If you're looking for any fun, thrills, suspense or emotion, find another movie because Age of Ice is lacking in every single one of those things. The characters are so annoying and cardboard that it is impossible to connect with any of them and judging from the acting the actors sure didn't connect with them either, almost all of them delivering lines like they were in pain. Only the actress who plays the daughter seemed to show any signs of trying and even she wasn't very good.

To conclude, dreadful in every single way imaginable and among The Asylum's all-time worst by far. 0/10 Bethany Cox

The worst of a bad bunch

I was lulled into a false sense of security after watching 100 DEGREES BELOW ZERO and AIRPLANE VS VOLCANO, two Asylum-made disaster movies that turned out to be relatively entertaining given the paucity of their budgets. I was expecting more of the same in AGE OF ICE, a disaster flick in which mankind is threatened by a new ice age, but what I got was one of the worst films imaginable.

This is a truly horrible movie and I can't think of a single decent thing to say about it. Gone are the cheesy, over the top effects of the other movies in favour of having a bunch of characters wandering aimlessly through a snowy field. The script was written by somebody with a tin ear, somebody who manages to create a bunch of the most annoying characters and plonk them into the dumbest situations imaginable.

Seriously, these are people you'd never want to go on holiday with. The American characters are racist and obnoxious and the foreigners are just there to get wiped out (apart from the 'token' guy, a decent Jordanian). The character of the wife was the most horrible of the lot, I was praying for her death throughout but no such luck. There are no special guest stars here, just a load of badly-acting nobodies. Barton Bund (who he?) is particularly wooden.

AGE OF ICE's storyline goes nowhere and none of the action has impact or drama. It's just silliness after silliness. Watch out for the worst car accident I've ever seen on film, involving a guy spinning the camera to simulate a car spinning in the air, oh and two or three CGI cars thrown in for good measure. Godawful indeed and it sums up a worthless viewing experience.

JACK! IT'S A DAM!

I am a fan of Asylum bad films, however this one didn't pass the smell test. Due to plates shifting, magma causes heating and steam creating pockets where there is ice and snow. As typical in an Asylum disaster film, it concentrates on one family in their struggle to survive in the heart of Egypt (see DVD cover). The family was a bit annoying. Dad (Barton Bund) was anal. The daughter (Bailey Spry) kept making eyes at the Jordanian (Owais Ahmed). Young son Dylan (Joe Cipriano) was a real pain and they would have been better off leaving him behind when he fell off the train. The truck overturn scene did bring a laugh as did the CG drum oil scene.

The big joke of the film was that the US was conducting games with the Jordanian Navy which in reality consists of 27 patrol boats in this nearly landlocked country.

Asylum has made more enjoyable "bad" films. My advice is to watch "100 Degrees Below Zero" instead. It too is a stinker, but one that is more enjoyable.

Guide: No f-bomb, sex, or nudity. A couple SOB and a JC tossed about.
