100 Degrees Below Zero (2013)

Director: RD Braunstein
Starring: Jeff Fahey, Sara Malakul Lane, Marc Ewins

Synopsis:
An Air Force veteran and his new wife travel to Paris to visit his children who are studying abroad, but the trip turns into a rescue mission with the sudden onset of a new ice age.

Impressions:
This is an Asylum film. You should know exactly what you're getting into. Credit where credit's due, it's only marginally dumber than The Day After Tomorrow. Actually, because it doesn't take itself too seriously, I'm tempted to argue that it's actually not quite as dumb. There was no running from the upper troposphere and warding it off by closed doors. It's a silly, low-rent disaster flick with a borderline incestuous sibling duo and John Rhys-Davies in a supporting role. It's not great cinema, it's not all that smart, but there are worse things you could be watching. Take it or leave it.

Rating:
50/50
