Storyline

INTER SCI climatologist Dr. David Kotzman has evidence that a shift in the Earth's polarity triggered the last Ice Age...in a single day. Now, it's happening again, and there's no time to escape. As the temperature plummets, Miami is blasted with snow and ice. Evacuation routes are jammed. The only chance David, his old flame Bryn, and a few other hopeful survivors have is to hole themselves up in a special chamber at INTER SCI. A desperate race for survival is ignited as nature's fury rages and the temperature plunges toward -459.67° F...ABSOLUTE ZERO!

Goofs

While the head of INTERSCI is stuck in an elevator, a helicopter is hovering above the building waiting to pick him up. However, the indicators inside the building state that the outside temperature is negative 100+ degrees Celsius. At that temperature, the fuel in the engine would have long frozen.

AJ Carmichael: [covering Sophie's ears] I don't think we should talk about D-E-A-T-H in front of the K-I-D.
Bryn: The K-I-D is the Miami County spelling bee champion.

User Reviews

One of the worst movies I have seen.

This movie is horrible. I mean the graphics are bad, the acting is bad, the logic behind it is bad, the small bits of humor are bad, the whole movie just sucked, enough said. I can probably draw better special effects on a piece of paper, and the acting could have been better done by a bunch of retarded monkeys. This movie can be one of those cheap school videos they show in science class that are either outdated by 30 years or have extremely badly done ones made by kids of the age they are showing the video to. If anyone voted more then a 2 on this video I feel sorry for you, you must be one very confused human being. I am going to end my insults because I am sure anyone who reads this gets my point.
