Unrealistic, corny and wooden acting.

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2004)

This movie was okay. Out of 5 stars, this is a 3. However, the entire basis of the movie was unrealistic. Okay, so maybe the ice caps are melting, but the time scale of the whole movie is really, really stupid. It would take thousands of years for the world to enter a new ice age, not the scale they give.
The dialogue was corny and stereotypical, very predictable and uninteresting. The way they talk has almost no emotion, and the actress who plays Sam's mom doesn't do a lot and delivers her lines in a cheesy way.
The acting was stiff and lame. The real talent came from veteran star Jake Gyllenhaal, the man who played his father, and the English professor in the Scottish weather control center. The rest of the acting was lame and boring.
Overall, the plot line was somewhat predictable. What would have spiced the movie up is if they just killed the people who tried to survive. Or at least a few. It's like a Disney movie, slow motion winning. Of course they're going to survive, so what's the point of making a movie about it?
