This is the main reason why writers, directors and producers need to consult professionals and the need to hire technical advisors.Is it about pumping out crap for the almighty dollar with no realism? A 10 year old learns enough science and "know how" to shake their heads at the bad direction, realism and science.*EMP - does not blow things up...lol go back to school *Learn military protocol - this is a joke. *The rock climbing techniques demonstrated by the actor demonstrated a willful disregard for accuracy.I am sick and tired of "the powers that be" producing crap just for the sake of a story to put on TV. Put more effort into it-Learn something from Ridley Scott...

This is worth seeing, if only to provide a floor for rating all other movies. Worst of all time? Probably not. laughingly, shockingly horrible? Definitely. I was embarrassed for the actors in the movie, who must have been randomly recruited from a Greyhound terminal. I was also embarrassed for the movie Vertical Limit, which, though it is also a terrible movie in it's own right, actually made an effort, and has some entertainment value including a couple of Point Break-esquire one-liners. Sub Zero lifted almost all of it's action sequences and mountain scenes from Vertical Limit. When I say lifted, I don't mean they borrowed ideas, but rather cut-and-pasted footage. Another person wrote that one scene looked like an SNL skit, and I agree. Sub Zero is so pathetic, it is almost entertaining. But not quite.

This film is a waste of digital imagery! Imagine, the hero ventures up K2 in a K-Mart parka with a fur edged hood no less. In one scene one "climber" (I say that oh so tongue in cheek) belays another by just standing there (he is tied onto the rope though)while his buddy holds a hundred feet or so of loosely coiled rope in his hands between the "belay" and the prospective climber.Oh man, this flick is sooooo bad, I almost wept. Oh, the aforementioned climber falls down a crevasse, is hanging there wearing his crampons, then is hauled out without them. I mean, these things are strapped to your ankles so you can't loose them. The ice axe technique and cramponning (no front pointing at all) is pathetic, and crawling up, no, along snow slopes reminded me of a drunk in the gutter finding his way home. Speaking of axe technique, when a guy fell down a slope, instead of using the appropriate technique of rolling over and gently applying the point as a brake by applying ones weight, he lies on his back flailing helplessly at the snow. If that axe had gripped, it would have ripped his arm off.All those really great mountaineers now sadly perished, will be rolling over in their graves (if lucky enough to have one).'Nuff said, this film should be burnt! It's a disgrace!
Comeuppance Reviews
"Sub Zero" is very entertaining. It's a silly spin on "Cliffhanger". The plot is about six climbers who have to deactivate a bomb on a mountain. The bomb looks like a Rubik's cube. If it goes off it will destroy the world.You don't watch a Jim Wynorski movie (the alias this time is Jay Andrews) and expect a masterpiece.The acting is above-average for this type of film, the performances that stand out are Linden Ashby and Nia Peeples. The cast looks like they are having fun with the script. The special effects aren't the greatest, but who cares.In the end: If you want to laugh and be on the edge of your seat, you can't go wrong with "Sub Zero".For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
