Solid Geological Movie
I'm a geologist and a Sci Fi Channel movie fan. And I found Polar Storm to be a solid geological movie. In fact it's one of my favorite natural disaster movies! It's got solid scientific substance even though some of it may have been stretched a little, and it's entertaining and keeps you hooked in. As a geologist, I enjoyed all the geological references, and yes, there was some stretching of the truth, but there was still quite a bit of solid science!I don't know how many of you know that most Sci Fi movie concepts come from real life scientific facts and the concepts are not as out there as we think they are. Next time you are watching a Sci Fi movie that you think is out there, look up the general concept on the internet and see if there is any truth in the real world. I would be willing to bet that 90% of Sci Fi movie concepts are based on real life things. Just about all the virus movies, space movies and geological movies are based on things that are already a reality or could happen and scientist are concerned about.Anyway, Polar Storm is a good movie considering it's a Sci Fi Channel movie and it's worthwhile to see. You can't beat the price either!
