Good

This is entertaining, though difficult to believe. Basically, the earth's climate changes abruptly (like nearly overnight). While I believe that global warming is a reality, this is too much. However, if you can ignore the fantastic, the film is OK. The acting is adequate, although no one particularly shines. The special effects are pretty decent, although the sudden freezing of everything isn't terribly good. The story is pretty well written, and should be a warning to everyone that our climate is changing because of our insatiable demand for fossil fuels. It's definitely an ecological wake-up call. I almost bought this but decided to rent instead and am glad I did. It's not a "keeper" for me. Others will really enjoy it more than I did. It's definitely not a bad flick, but it misses the chance to be better.
