Plot believability

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2006)

Loved the visuals. The special effects are spectacular. The biggest complaint I've ever heard about this movie is that the climatic changes pictured in the film aren't realistic. I disagree. There is a scene in the movie that takes place in a museum. Sam and company are looking at a diorama of a mammoth with a voice-over explaining the circumstances of its death. When I first saw that scene, it reminded me of an actual mammoth found in Siberia. What was remarkable was that the only damage to it was on it's head. The locals who found it were carving it in to steaks. Also, upon closer examination, the mammoth was found to have buttercups in its stomach and in its mouth, meaning it froze to death before it could swallow.
