I watched this movie with my friend because she wanted to watch this s*it. She didn't even read the plot just liked the poster. I lost 1 h 30 min of my life i better watched porn. I have watched a lot of movies that i thought that were garbage but this... Acting and special effects were 'the best' i laughed so hard.

R.D. Braunstein directs this exciting and near epic motion picture depicting European volcanic eruptions creating dust clouds sending the continent into another ice age. A visionary screenplay by Richard Schenkman and H. Perry Horton tells the moving and suspenseful story of an American couple trying to escape the catastrophic freezing by returning to Paris before there is nothing left but a massive waste of ice. The imagery is haunting as the camera pans across vast vistas of Antarctic proportions upon which humanity must somehow survive. Jeff Fahey gives another superb performance, portraying a average man in extraordinary circumstance, forced to heroic dimensions by the compulsion to save loved ones. The distinguished actor John Rhys-Davies is amazing in his role as a military officer literally trying to save civilization and brings added gravitas to this stunning film. With superior special effects, brilliant writing, and superb direction, there is no denying the staggering power and overwhelming excitement that is 100 Degrees Below Zero.

I checked the description on the sci-fi channel and I thought that this was just my kind of film. Unfortunately it appears that no thought was put it into it at all.The whole premise of the film is based on the fact that it is really cold. And yet it takes half the film's duration for our two main protagonists to even think about finding a jacket. And when they do, the don't even bother to button or zip them up. No one cares to wear gloves or get a cold-weather hat. And so the threat of dying from extreme cold just doesn't exist at all.In my head, I couldn't get past the fact that no one actually appears to be cold. So when our two Americans get pushed into a car by the military, and in there meet a mini-skirt wearing uber-babe, the remote control channel button was being primed. Moments later their car had exploded in flames, and when no-one bothered to huddle around the fire for warmth, I was done.There are numerous comedy falls however, the best one being when they are running down a corridor and suddenly fall through the floor. There are no signs of the floor remnants in the room below at all. Classic.

Shoddy acting is the least of this pictures shortcomings. I would soley blame the director, but it is obviously far beyond that. The only department that didn't utterly botch their job was the costume department. Though I did find it odd that all of the soldiers wore cameo-patterned pajamas.In fact, it would be more at home being the Literary Arts homework of a third-grade boy. The writer, director, and producer of this film ought to be charged under Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 113C, Section 2340 of the US legal code. I have been more entertained mowing my lawn than watching this insult to the industry. Dry pasta has more taste and my vomit has more character. I pray that these men never again work in the industry. This film is too terrible to even be considered for a "bad movie night".
