Normally you can salvage something nice to say about a movie even if it just something to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Well, it IS a rainy Saturday afternoon and I would have preferred to nail my feet to the floor than watch another second of this ZZZ grade movie. Michael Shanks likes a bit of SciFi but he must have done this one for free. It's a no budget, badly written, badly directed load of rubbish. Science aside, the characters were a thin as the story was bad. The accents were just appalling. The genuine accents stuck out a mile. For the record, the news broadcast that first heralded the cold front mentions the cold front is moving fast=t and has hit the southern coast of Tasmania and will arrive in the Capital of that state (Hobart) in 2 hours so it is odd they didn't look at a map. Hobart is almost ON the south coast of Tasmania. You can drive from one end of the island to the other in a 3 hours. A fast moving front would do the distance from the tip to Hobart in 5 minutes. And when telling his family and friends to shield themselves from from something that snap froze an entire ship in seconds, that a few blankets and a coat in the Evac centre will be fine. The plane crash in Hobart was utterly ridiculous. It's also odd that the mere touch of the edge of the cloud froze the surfer but when dashing from the car to the research station the hero and his daughter are OK when it envelopes them just as they reach the door of the building. To summarise, solar eclipse-hole in ozone-freeezing air- no one heeds warning, lots of people die there! As usual no one listens to Jack and as usual the American authorities don't listen to the expert and do their own thing. But wait, as they decide to try and send up weather balloons more rifts open all over the world and wouldn't you know it, it's the Major cities in the world being struck. It sure is lucky it opened near Australia's smallest Capital city. Phew, we really dodged that one. Oh no what will the hero do? Oh god I can't bear to go on. It's just too horrible. It's a shame the producers didn't freeze themselves rather than subject us to this load of tosh.
