5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Movie, May 26, 2006
I saw this movie on TV, it was under the name Avalanche. I tried to find it everywhere. One day a stumbled across it at a movie shop in the mall. I was sooooo happy. The special effects in this movie are far from today's standards, but the characters I believe are worth it. I am happy to have it in my collection.

Average Fare With Caroleen Feeney, January 28, 2005
Some good photography of Alaska and the native wildlife. The acting is 3 stars and the scenery is 5 stars. There are exciting special effects and exciting flying in a two-seater airplane. A large avalanche is very dramatic in the second half of the film. Most of the action in the film in total is in the second half.

1.0 out of 5 stars
1.5 for the story idea..., October 29, 2002
Let me start by saying I rented this from the local video store with high hopes based on the back of the DVD. The story line is very interesting and pulled me in. The scenery was really nice (which gives it the 1.5 stars)
But, and I do mean BUT it was painful to watch! The special effects were so bad that I have seen local kids produce better things. The snow scenes where the avalanche goes through the town were obviously scales as they looked like models.
The premise is that there is a new pipeline being built over the tundra and into Juneau, which is in a valley and the main character thinks that there is just to much chance for something to go wrong and a giant avalanche to bury the town. You see she has a past experience with avalanches as she has lived through one from years ago. So now she is with the EPA and out to stop the project, almost reluctantly with the help of a former friend. There is even a scene with a wild wolf cub... (Cute but not real believable)...
On top of that the acting was just ok. I didn't believe the characters though I have seen some of these same actors in other movies, do well. There were just way to many unbelievable scenes to enjoy the movie.
Don't spend your money on this one if you must then rent it.
