Watch Nature Unleashed: Avalanche For Free

I love this movie so much

hyped garbage

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Is all I could think about during the first 20 min (that's all I could do) is how much wasted money and energy went into this horrendous film. I know there are good screenplays out there being shelved...and yet we have this dog! It did have humor though..Like how they used every previous avalanche ever filmed and combined the footage. Different lighting...different mountain, different snow, but what does it matter when you get a good chuckle. I have three more lines but cannot think of anymore to say about this film. Awful Awful Awful. Oh, the little village is quaint until it gets hit by what seems to be a large cloud of talcum powder and tapioca. This mystery snow does not effect the trees though, they don't move?

But it gets the job done.A bunch of characters including two brothers, the younger brother's lover, her father the developer, and an avalanche watcher start to realize a nearby peak is about to come crashing down. Trying to find a way to keep everyone safe while maintaining profit, all while overcoming their own inner drama and differences, keeps them busy for roughly an hour and a half. We get to tag along too.It basically has mediocre dialog, mediocre directing and editing, some pretty good photography, and bad acting, but it's the story that keeps this little experience interesting. In general, it's a somewhat tense countdown while the weight of the mountain starts burdening the souls of all involved. Can't say it was that bad.Obviously a big difficulty was keeping it going with limited materials, being that a few shots/ideas are re-used several times. It also has a pretty useless side-story about the developer's evil business partner that frankly only worked to use up space, then climaxed in a pretty campy shot that I won't give away. But the fact that it even had side-plots and backstory and character development is kind of commendable for the type of movie it was. So there we go. Entertainment fun-fest and all that.--PolarisDiB

I like sci-fi and the B movie genre so this movie was actually pretty good considering the obvious low budget shots. The acting was palatable the scenes OK except I got tired to the cracking ice shots over and over again. Typical cliché riddled B movie with a few twists. Spoilt daddy's girl is not a whiny brat and actually has some business sense. Greedy Real Estate Daddy Dude actually listens to the scientist and nixes the bottom line to help save the day. Really big whammy, the Hot dude makes it with the homely scientist chick who only has 6 toes. Yep definitely did not see that coming (toe shots either) cool looking ice bar, dumb tourists. Perfect movie if you can't sleep and are stuck home with the flu for Christmas.....again

Seriously. I mean, alienating one's fan-base can't be the wisest business decision to make. And while I'm pretty sure making a genuinely entertaining movie isn't the easiest thing in the world to do, it can't be THAT difficult, either; it DOES get done, after all, at least occasionally. Nor is there a shortage of decent science fiction, horror and fantasy writers--amateurs and otherwise, all of whom would jump at a chance to create an original, intelligent storyline.So why do the "good folk" at SFC continue to spring garbage like "Nature Unchained: Avalanche" on us?Wooden acting. Implausible premise. Illogical plot. So-so CGI's. Incomprehensible interpersonal relationships. Pointless characterizations. Dialog that would have to improve to be cliché.Makes a long-term fan of the genre wanna cry.But all that aside, there is one good thing I can say about this turkey dropping, something that actually made me go, "huh; lookee there". It involves what is laughingly called a "spoiler" (how does one "spoil" something this rotten?), namely: the Lead Young Guy makes it with a HOMELY chick, not the blond bimbo! No, really; and to top it off, the Homely Chick--a scientist, of course--has only got two toes on one foot (the others were taken off by frostbite, I think)! And they SHOW it!Now that's slightly different.
