drystyx I read the reviews just after watching the first 15 minutes, and didn't think they were good reviews at the time, because the film had a very good start.Then the rest of the movie sunk in.While I don't agree with this being the worst, or even one of the worst, ever, it was very disappointing after a start that looked like it had potential.We begin with three chief characters, a young couple who are protecting wildlife in Alaska, and their handsome pilot friend. They aren't Grizzly people. They're tagging and watching the cute little animals.It all begins rather well. They are likable, and their friends seem fairly real. After an avalanche changes the status quo, two years pass, and the pilot has lost a lot of his confidence, which made this look like it was going into a fresh direction.Well, then it looks like they brought in a new writer named Joe Cliché. It got very trite after that. You would have to watch it to know how trite it became. Unbelievable, after what looked like a decent beginning.This made the movie more disappointing than everything. I still liked the two leads, because they were worth liking, and that salvaged the movie for at least "treadmill or elliptical" viewing, but it was very corny.And while I liked to see them survive their brushes with death, I would prefer those escapes to be at least partially credible. We cross over all lines of credibility. And that's disappointing.I'm too flabbergasted by the clichés to even begin to mention them. If you scratch the first 15 minutes, it might even look like a comic farce.It's one of those movies in which the people involved probably think they either made something much better, or much worse, than they actually did. When you're involved in a project like this, you don't see the glass as half empty. It's either full or empty. Truth be told, it's less than half full, but still passes for mild entertainment.

iamtankman This poor excuse for a movie was absolutely horrible. Poor writing and acting. Total garbage. Don't waste your time. I'd rather crawl through 2 miles of broken glass and then roll through the shafts of a salt mine then watch this movie again. R. Lee Ermey is a good TV show host, but a horrible actor. The special effects suck. It's so low budget, they use the same avalanche footage again and again for 3 separate avalanches. The music is terrible. Lets see, what else can I say to express how terrible this movie is? I'm really trying to express to you that this has to be one of the worst movies ever. Will someone please shoot me now? I'm just going to copy and paste this again. This poor excuse for a movie was absolutely horrible. Poor writing and acting. Total garbage. Don't waste your time.

director24F Want one Reason to buy or watch Avalanche 1999? Want it or not it's Hilary Shepard as Annie. Let the non-existent polar bear eat the others, but give me more of that killer babe in those tight spray-on pants. Like the best wines she just keeps getting better with age. Great casting, even better wardrobe, and who cares what she says or doesn't! She looks great doing it !!!!! Stock footage? Who cares???? Hilary forgives a multitude of sins! If she were on the other side of the confessional, I wouldn't miss going! Avalanche is a better view than the nightly news, a credit I'd take, and cash is cash - no pro on the pic has anything to be embarrassed about. Not every pic needs to have or can have a 'billion' dollar budget. It's a watch able film & I'd for one visit Alaska because of it. It's probably more accurate, true to life, etc. than Election 2004. A good film to have on in the background or work to.

myke00-1 I have just watched the movie on late night TV. I think the writers and every other person involved in making this movie should have done a little research and found out a few things about Alaska, Juneau and polar bears. In one scene the two main characters are chased by polar bears. Sorry but there are not any that south around Juneau. The caribou also run way more to the north unless they were trying to say in the film that they were able to get all the way to the north part of Alaska in a matter of a few minutes of flying. I think the next time Juneau let someone come in and film about the city they should read the script first. I do agree that the stock footage is much to be desired.
