Editorial Reviews

INTER SCI climatologist David Koch (Jeff Fahey) has evidence that a shift in the Earth's polarity triggered the last Ice Agein a single day. Now, it's happening again, and there's no time to escape. As the temperature plummets, Miami is blasted with snow and ice. Evacuation routes are jammed. The only chance David, his old flame Bryn (Erika Eleniak), and a few other hopeful survivors have is to hole themselves up in a special chamber at INTER SCI. A desperate race for survival is ignited as nature's fury rages and the temperature plunges toward -459.67° F...ABSOLUTE ZERO!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Awe Cheezed", January 6, 2007

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Absolute Zero (DVD)

This movie reminds me of the first science fiction movies produced in the 50's when cardboard props swung from visible strings. It is, by far, my favorite film. From phony looking props, backgrounds, and atmospheric phenomena, to award-removing scripts, soundtracks, acting, and production, this film is, by far, the best warm pile I have ever stepped in. My favorite scene is when the older scientist falls on the soft snow in a cave during a tremor. The ground shifts just enough to make him lose his balance, he gently falls to the floor, and he is left sitting upright with a small scratch on his forehead that suprisingly enough, kills him a moment later. Then, the main character, in a feable attempt to express his utter devastation over the loss of his best friend, an otherwise undeveloped friendship until this moment, puts on his most insincere facial expression as he says, "Awe cheezed" or was it, "Awe geeze", or maybe "I cheezed", all of which seemed as inappropriate as the massive head injuries sustained by his beloved friend, and mentor. I would like to thank the producer for missing this flurb, for it has given my girlfriend and I a stress relieving catch phrase we use in response to life's many aggrevations. So America, when life throws it's worst at you, curl your nose and form the most unattractive facial expression you can muster up, and say, "Awe cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezed" hahahaha.....

3.0 out of 5 stars Good choice for "Bad Movie Night", February 8, 2007

This review is from: Absolute Zero (DVD)

I love end of the world disaster movies. This one ranks as the most scientifically inaccurate one I've ever seen. My husband, a former 8th grade science teacher, decided if he ever goes back to teaching, he'd have his physics class watch this movie as a final exam and write everything that's wrong with it. I think they'd need a full 24 hours... (Someone freezes as the "absolute zero" cold approaches, yet someone else maybe 30 feet away is perfectly fine?) It's good for a laugh, and the acting isn't as bad as a lot of these movies. I'd recommend this to a group of college friends who plan to have a couple drinks and make fun of the movie. This ranks about equal with Solar Attack, and I'd say it's better than Dean Cain's Post Impact.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Boredom., July 5, 2007

This review is from: Absolute Zero (DVD)

Absolute Zero is a disappointing ripoff of The Day After Tomorrow. The characters are insufferable. The hero scientist spent the first 1/3 of the movie discovering the oncoming ice storm, the middle third trying to convince people it was coming, and the last 1/3 outrunning it.

While trying to warn Miami of the pending big freeze, the scientist meets his long-lost love, who's married to someone else. Her husband conveniently gets knocked off. How better to provide the proverbial "happily ever-after" ending? Neither the daughter nor the wife shed a tear for his death, but they do stop running long enough to say, "Gee, I miss Dad", to which the wife replies, "Me too, honey." This is followed up by some serious, heartfelt sniffles and a painful narrowing of the eyebrows.

And the tension keeps on mounting...

Every movie needs controversy...so, the writer tossed in a nasty tempered corporate executive who values money over human life. No cliché there, right? For extra romance we're given two college students who exchange boring and obnoxiously unfunny quips with the other.

Ho-Hum. Who needs sleeping pills?

Maybe I missed something. Within moments after the killer storm put Miami into the deep freeze, a rescue helicopter appears in the building's skylight. It's come to save the scientist and his group. Two questions. Why didn't the skylight and the helicopter freeze like everything else outside? How did the helicopter know where to find them? Maybe I dozed off when that part was explained.

Oh, well. I really don't care. I didn't care that those who died, died, and those who lived, lived.
