Watch Ice For Free

Fantastic!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I have searched for 3 years to find a copy of this movie for sale on DVD or VHS, anywhere on the internet after I could not get it on Amazon. Twice money was taken and then refunded, after nothing was available, does anyone know where it can be bought? I really, really want to buy this movie, I thought it was great when we saw it on ABC when it premiered, it seemed like it was a 3 hour movie, but it was not that long, and a few things really stand out, like the frozen palm trees in L.A. or Ice hard packed buried up to top lines of clay tile roofs. I understand you can view it on the Sci-Fi Channel, but that channel is not offered on our lineup, so I cannot get it from that source.

This made for the small screen movie in the disaster genre may have been full of questionable scientific facts but accepting things as you were given them, then the acting and general tempo were okay. There are some movies where it is best not to ask too many questions just sit back and be entertained - this was one of them. The lack of big star cast did not seem to detract from the effect and though clearly shot on a small budget (the snowflakes were so fake!) it was reasonable nonetheless. A group of miscellaneous stereotypes, the white macho law enforcer, the black criminal with the chip on his shoulder who's not so bad once you get to know him, the mad professor who's not likable at all, the ex and the new lover with the new boyfriend. Plenty scope for character development, though much of it was predictable. As a huge freeze-up almost in no time seems to plunge Los Angeles into Arctic frigidity people seem to die frozen at the wheels of their cars or anywhere else as if completely unexpected. Our super-heros seem to be able to move around with relatively little extra clothing only the occasional leg wrapping or blanket as a token towards the predicament.The general "plot" is that a rescue ship is being sent to pick up our disagreeable scientist and our group seem to think this is the best option they have of escaping from the freeze-up so a purpose and direction is created, however thin and questionable it may seem. We seem to accept much science fiction which is far more questionable, take the Star Wars nonsense for example, yet here we have a plausible scenario. The sun could throw a wobbly and the effects on our planet could be life-threatening, I have no problem with the subject matter. I would not buy the DVD however but have seen a lot worse than ICE.

this is probably the worst disaster movie ever made. You guys are retarded! All there is in this film is land full of snow and ice and a group of retards looking for a hotter place. Gosh, idiots! What were you guys thinking when you made this piece of crap? You're bugging the heck out of me. Gosh, idiots! Why don't you just watch this, see if you can beat yourselves up for making this in the first place. Why make this movie about a country basically a bigger version of the Arctic? It's almost like you guys have to live in Antarctica to make this movie. You writers probably have nothing else to do but to think up a story with selfish people, retarded special effects, and no credibility.

If not mistaken I think this is a Sci-Fi Network original. A story kind of silly, but provoking. Reality is doubtful. The earth becomes a deep freeze in a modern Ice Age after the sun develops numerous sunspots. Sunny California within two days looks more like the South Pole with frigid temps well below zero. LAPD officer Grant Show with the aid of a petty criminal(Flex Alexander)he recently put in jail leads a small group of people that includes his girlfriend, son, ex-wife and her recent husband to possible safety. Joined by the scientist(Udo Kier),who discovered this catastrophe, the small group are hopeful to find safety near the Equator region which seems to be as far south as the frigid temps reach. Snow of course is the main scenery and tempts you to grab a blanket. For some reason my favorite scene is when The President(Art Hindle) is prompted to leave D.C., but only after respecting a painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware.Also appearing are: Eva LaRue, Audie England and Diego Fuentes. Although the story line being quite contrived, ICE none the less is able to hold your interest. Grant Show is still as bland an actor as he was on TV's Melrose Place.
