I loved this movie. It was original and very thought out, the plot was great and the actors were brilliant. The movies that are coming out about the same are not the same. This is a one of a kind and I am trying to find a replacement so that I can buy it. I can watch this movie non stop repeatedly. There is thought into it and even though the feelings of the actors to each other may be different, that is what makes the movie better. In the end, it is all that matters is that family is family and they stuck together through thick and thin and made it all together. It just goes to show what people would really do and could do to survive and to help and save their family even if it is not blood family. They stuck it out and saved each other. That is the best part. The movie was well though and the actors were well picked for their part and this is one of my all time favorite movies. If anyone can find it, please let me know.

I have searched for 3 years to find a copy of this movie for sale on DVD or VHS, anywhere on the internet after I could not get it on Amazon. Twice money was taken and then refunded, after nothing was available, does anyone know where it can be bought? I really, really want to buy this movie, I thought it was great when we saw it on ABC when it premiered, it seemed like it was a 3 hour movie, but it was not that long, and a few things really stand out, like the frozen palm trees in L.A. or Ice hard packed buried up to top lines of clay tile roofs. I understand you can view it on the Sci-Fi Channel, but that channel is not offered on our lineup, so I cannot get it from that source.

Although a precursor to The Day After, this movie had little to recommend it. The plot is on thin ice and the cast is continually falling through that thin veneer of that verisimilitude. The premise is that the sun has a major outbreak of sunspots and the earth goes cold. OK, let's accept that. But it seems like only one scientist thinks that's a big deal. Why? Unlike The Day After, when what is happening is quite complex and the results of rising ice melt, which causes falling salinity levels which causes a change in oceanic currents is much more theoretical and opaque...thus it is not "known" what will happen. In this movie only one thing happens, increased sun spot activity. That's pretty easy to spot and analyze. More than one scientist would be clamoring for recognition. So, if you remove the "need" for this one scientist, the plot melts altogether. But for the sake of argument, you say that you just must have Dr. Kistler, might you not send troops to get him as opposed to telling him to drive (an impossible task) to point XYZ where he will be picked up? There is just nothing about this plot that makes any sense.The special effects were not very special and the science was unscientific. You can't just huddle around a fireplace with temps of -50, wind blowing into your house through broken glass windows and survive. You can't wander around in a leather jacket in the same weather (and stay alive.) You'll never get a CAT designed for LA to function in -50 temps. Oh, there are too many flaws to list.As for the collapse of social order, I don't doubt that it might not happen, but not the way this picture depicts it.There was a point to The Day After. The point was that we are not handling our home planet well and that we don't even try to, or at least those currently in power don't try to. That's accurate.This movie's point, if it had one, is that govt. is slow to respond to imminent disaster. No kidding.

This movie, Ice, is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is very exciting. The movie is also realistic, you may not think so, but it is. There are some scientists, they mean that the ice age is coming and that SOON. If you think of that when you see the movie you will be a little scared. The actors are also very good, I think. The special effects are good to. The snow is everywhere in Los Angeles, and in Hollywood, and in London, and in Rome, it seems to me that it is real snow, it is very much snow. And I am living in Sweden, so I know what I am speaking of, here is very cold and often snow.See this movie, you will not be disappointed, I promise.
