Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Paris is a city of some 7 million people, and they all evacuated in 10 minutes, leaving the main kids the city to themselves for most of the movie. This movie begs for IMDb to re-insert its message boards, just so we can make fun of movies like this. The dwarf dude from Lord of the Rings provided the only drama when he made the plane wait an extra 10 minute before taking off. How many times could the main kid run into the girl he was checking out earlier in the film?

This is the worst movie I have ever seen in my whole life without any kind of doubt. I actually feel i have been violated after watching all the way through this. Since the effect of the earthquake at the beginning, I knew I shouldn't keep watching, I did, I am angry with myself.Almost all of the scenes are a nonsense. The writing and the acting are appalling. Sometimes bad movies tend to make you laugh, this one is so so bad that just makes you cry with remorse!Seen as though i need to add more text to this review, i will take this opportunity to warn any potential viewers - don't watch it, just go right back where you started and find something else to watch... this is the first review i have ever posted, the only reason i am posting this is to warn the general public of what they are letting themselves in for if they press play...you will not be the same after watching 100 degrees below zero....

I spent most of this film, supposedly set in sub zero temperatures, wanting to do up the jackets of every actor in it (assuming they were wearing one at all) - yes it really was THAT bad.In order for us to be entertained there has to be some degree of believability about the film. Third rate special effects (just not acceptable nowadays) do not make for a disaster movie, more a disastrous film. It didn't help that acting of the wife, or maybe her script, were dire. She had less maturity than her teenage daughter. My husband laughed out loud at the effects when ... well I don't want to give the plot away... just in case curiosity gets the better of you. I have seen some films in my time which had awful ratings and enjoyed them...but not this time.

I wasn't expecting much from The Asylum's 100 DEGREES BELOW ZERO, a Z-grade movie rip-off of the Hollywood blockbuster THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. After all, I hated the original, finding it boring in the extreme, so what could this film do better? The answer is that it's much more entertaining purely because it's so bad. So bad it's good, in fact...The storyline involves a macho pilot (the dependable Jeff Fahey) searching for his offspring, who are lost in Paris during a deadly weather event which threatens a new ice age in Europe. What it all boils down to is a bunch of stock disaster scenarios, some truly horrible CGI effects, and more overacting from the cast than you can shake a stick at.Still, it's far from the worst you'll see (try AGE OF ICE for that). Fahey works hard in his man-on-a-mission role, and underwear model Sara Malakul Lane runs around in a skimpy t-shirt despite the freezing temperatures, allowing the cameraman to ogle her at every opportunity. John Rhys-Davies pops up as a gruff military type, although he has a heart in this one at least.100 DEGREES BELOW ZERO is perfect for fans of bad-but-funny movies and it's one of those ones that demands being watched with a glass of alcohol in hand. My favourite scene is when the kids in Paris hook up with their pop on the phone and tell him "there's nothing left" after an earthquake. This is accompanied with their faces screwed up into expressions of unbelievable horror. And yet, in the background, all the buildings are intact and you can see pedestrians and traffic going by normally. A great goof in a film full of them.
