I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

ABSOLUTE ZERO is an absolute pig of a film; conceived as a zero-budget, made-in-Canada rip-off of THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The modern-day disaster movies made by the SyFy Channel and The Asylum look like masterpieces by comparison.The storyline sees part of a glacier breaking off to bring winter to Miami. Soon enough the whole of Florida is at freezing point so it's up to the usual renegade scientist and his extended family to do something about it. Everything imaginable about the movie is horrid: the script, the dialogue, the almost entire lack of believability throughout. The CGI effects of snow drifts and storms look like they've been drawn onto the camera with a child's pencil. The constant melodrama is laughable.Hardworking B-movie actor Jeff Fahey is the gruff lead here, but even he looks flabby and tired by the whole thing. BAYWATCH actress Erika Eleniak plays his estranged wife, but there were only ever a couple of reasons why she was popular and they've long since headed south. As usual, a couple of annoying teenage children turn out to be the cleverest ones around.

I can't tell you how amusing it was to see downtown Vancouver being passed off as Miami, Florida. As Fred Ewanuick (of "Corner Gas" fame) put it: "This place is starting to look like Canada." To be honest, there were too many ridiculous errors to count. Obviously, this "film" was slapped together with a minimum of funding, even less background research, and NO talent. Hard to imagine what they were thinking when they put this grotesque farce on celluloid.Of course, the stock news footage of winter in Canada was a big help; No need for special effects there.The background paintings on the sound stages were positively amateurish, looking for all the world like something you might see on the wall of a Days Inn motel room.Bad acting, bad plot, bad special effects... Well, this movie is just plain bad.I think that this cinematique train wreck is aptly dubbed a disaster movie, coz it sure as heck is one big disaster.Besides, Miami could never freeze over because of all the hot air generated by the Cubans.'Nuff said...

OK so the acting, dialogue and all the other stuff isn't as bad as people said it was; it wasn't good. The thing I will say is that the science is all wrong. They said that science is never wrong. Well unless their talking about some other kind of science, either they're wrong or science is wrong. If you haven't seen this movie then it's about the magnetic field is acting all goofy and north is south and south is north. And somehow that's going to bring in a new ice age. Tropics are icy, icy is tropic, dry is wet and wet is dry. So Miami (where it's mostly taking place) will somehow get so cold that the temperature will be absolute zero (- 273C).Now this has never happened because if it did, the atoms themselves would stop moving and collapse on themselves. Why? Because atoms cannot get any colder. But if this would happen there would have to be any light for billions of light years. This will not happen on earth because the sun isn't that far away. And also oxygen will solidify at -218.4C. If it got at like -200C we would be literally be swimming in liquid oxygen for a split second and then freeze to death. So if your breathing your swimming.

David Koch (Jeff Fahey), a climatologist working for Miami-based Inter-Sci, is suddenly sent to Antarctica to investigate a change in climate. Some scientists on the icy continent were killed when there was an abrupt spike in temperature, resulting in shifting ice flows that sent them into the icy waters below. When David arrives down under, the remaining crew tell him that a "cave" has appeared, one that was not noticeable before, and which may have answers to the current phenomena. David leads a group to the cavern but, despite finding prehistoric "cave paintings" that suggest the climate on Antarctica was once warmer, the unstable weather creates death traps. Only David makes it out alive, natch. Back in Miami, David hooks up with a science colleague and his wife, Bryn (Erika Eleniak) who run data and come to the startling conclusion that the earth's "poles" are shifting and that Miami will become the new Antarctice in less than 4 days. Of course, the scummy, money-grubbing leader of Inter-Sci locks horns with David and insists to the United States military that the change in climate will evolve more slowly and that, in any case, the company has it covered. Ho ho, what fun is ahead! David, it turns out, is correct and soon folks sunning by the posh hotels' pools are being pelted with snow and sleet. With only a limited time to get everyone evacuated from Miami and into "warmer" New York and other upper regions, what will be the result? Actually, as far as "B" movies go, I thought this one was pretty entertaining. The cast is not stellar by any means, with Fahey and Eleniak, longtime B stars, looking older and tired and the others not doing Oscar work either. Then, too, the script veers off into silliness from time to time, as it tries to recount a long ago love affair between David and Bryn. But, when it gets down to science and special effects, the film fares much better. The whole premise is fairly interesting and the "chilling" of Miami is fun to watch. Yes, it takes a few pages from The Day After Tomorrow, with its rolling deep freeze frames. But, what the heck, if you love science fiction and chaotic weather situations, you would probably get a kick out of this one, especially on sweltering summer nights when re-runs are the only other options. Go for it.
