Excellent but underrated film
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I think I have never seen a worse film than 100 ° below zero. Unknown actors, absent acting, less bad than at least did not spend money on dubbing studios because they were enough subtitles in Italian ...Special, nasty, useless effects (absurd the ice balls in Paris disappearing from one shot to the other!)I've been really struggling to get to the end of the movie. Do not buy it, do not rent it or watch it online. It's not worth it.
The plot idea was sound enough (after all, it worked well for the blockbuster that inspired it). Sadly the execution was very sloppy - even by The Asylum standards.The caricatures (you can't say that they were developed enough to be characters) never develop in any way that encourages the audience to care about them at all. As usual there is a mentally underdeveloped son in the family. I'm not sure why The Asylum is so keen on this feature. Surely they could either write the part for an older teen or cast a younger actor? They drive to the Channel Tunnel - which is strangely being guarded by Eastern Europeans in US-style combat gear. Some attempt has been made to show a location - by placing a still photo of a Eurostar sitting in the tunnel mouth. It would be still, of course, as there is no electrical overhead wiring and, as we soon discover, no track in the tunnel either seeing as they drive through it in the Eastern European-registered car that they somehow obtained in the UK.Also, it seems that the storm is so bad that all the roads in France have vanished.The RAF also now wear US uniforms and use American ranks (although, at least they used a couple of Brits to play the parts). Really, though, how hard would it have been to use the right uniforms and ranks? Not at all. It just emphasises how lazy the production were being.Now, they chose to film in Hungary. How much extra would it have cost to film in the UK or France where they could have used actors with appropriate accents and uniforms? There is doing a film on the cheap, and then there is producing something so lazily that it really does not deserve to have been produced.It is actually annoying that I know of local actors and directors who can produce films of higher standards than this on a four-figure budget, yet their work remains unbroadcast.
It's so bad it's actually a great film. The plot is a mirror of Day After Tomorrow, just with worse acting and no film continuity. Some great one liners and heartfelt (not) emotion. There was obviously no pre-filming research done by the production team: in the UK we drive on the left, have our steering wheels on the right, and the Channel Tunnel isn't a road link; only rail. They did get the logo right though. Product placement?What was great about this film is the awfulness. It's hysterically funny without being a made as a comedy. It's a disaster movie in every sense of the word. Fantastic. I only didn't give it 10 stars because the sets didn't wobble. That would have been worth the final two stars.John Rhys-Davis gave a star performance as a British Officer whilst wearing an American officer's uniform. Just about sums up this film really...
All I can do know is laugh. The acting was terrible. They should have been lovers instead of siblings! For all the time they hugged and jumped on each other (1/2 the movie) every time one fell, geese; I was waiting for the kiss. They also made the male son character so WHIMPY!! Like COME ON MAN, GROW SOME BALLS! So subtract the acting, & The theme of the movie was not so bad. But the plot was extremely disappointing."The only good thing was that it was suspenseful - whether or not the parents and kids will make it to the Eiffel Towel."It had potential but fell flat on its face.
