Story
Beneath the Alaskan landscape, the melting permafrost is about to
drastically alter the tranquil scenery. As the permafrost thaws,
underground rivers of volatile liquid Methane are created, causing a
succession of violent and destructive earthquakes. It's a race against
time to stop the deadly rivers before they lead to a catastrophic
explosion that threatens the planet.
My Grade
D-
OK I won't waste much time on this review. This was a movie that premiered on TV and is now on DVD. Yes, I do sometimes like to watch these little straight to TV/DVD movies because on a rare occasion you find a nice little gem. Well, I didn't find one here. Ice Quake is a dumb little disaster movie that is more disastrous that I think it meant to be. It kind of reminded me of movies like "Dante's Peak" and "Volcano" just this time dealing with ice and snow. I mean, I feel terrible for ripping a movie like this apart, but how can you not right? Everything about it is just so silly. Why did Victor Garber (TV's Alias, Titanic) agree to do this? I know he's no big time star or anything, but I thought he was better than this. All the scenes in that military control room were so funny to watch, and not in a good way. They sure no how to tell us when tremor's were happening and doing nothing about it. I didn't care about any of these people in the movie, I wanted them all to die (except for the kids though). I don't have much else to say, it was just stupid.
