Overview - After paleoclimatologist Jack Hall is largely ignored by UN officials when presenting his environmental concerns about the beginning of a new Ice Age, his research proves true when a superstorm develops, setting off catastrophic natural disasters throughout the world.

It threatened and promised to be a politically (wooly) mammoth disaster picture. Jack Hall is certain that another ice age is imminent due to the effects of global warming, but the government just will not listen to him. Sure enough the climate changes and the world is at threat from perilous frozen weather, worse still for Jack is that his son is trapped in New York City! Roland Emmerich w...

I gather that climate deniers hate films like this.

74/100 A Roland Emmerich disaster film, this one about the Earth freezing. Despite all the pseudoscience and unrealistic behavior of the characters involved, Emmerich's style of 'damn the realism, full speed ahead' filmmaking makes for some really exciting action and eye candy. This one is not as over-the-top as "2012" but nearly just as entertaining. The pacing is great making the 2+ hour run ...
