Review of 2012: Ice Age (2011) by Robert H — 31 Aug 2013

2012 Ice Age borrows from the title of one Emmerich film and combines it with elements of another Emmerich film to create something that will just blow your mind!!!

Normally when you watch a Roland Emmerich film you had to turn off your brain and just enjoy what's going on. Trying to think too much about what you see on the screen can give you a headache. With 2012 Ice Age... you have to go even further. I'd suggest removing your brain completely cause there is absolutely nothing remotely believeable happening in this film. There is plenty of terrible CG work, a myriad of stock footage combined with digital snow, poor attempts at location ghosting, nothing realistic, and lost of actual footage of snow storms to form what has to be seen to be believed.

Do not see this film as a serious natural disaster flick. Do not see it as a fun and entertaining adventure film. Do not see this film because you think it shows any kind of skill, has any kind of artistic merrit, or any semblance of a good movie. See this film for pure jokes. This is camp beyond camp. God I wish it was played more straight and with better FX cause it could have been brilliant... in its current form, enjoy it for what it is but don't expect much. If you're in the right mood the film should make you laugh but if you like to nitpic details, 2012 Ice Age will leave you pulling your hair out.

Truly is a film that plays better with friends... and perhaps after a few alcoholic beverages.
