Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie was so bad in so many ways that I wouldn't even know where to begin.It is 'amazing' how some people can completely freeze to death and then shatter to pieces when the ice type avalanche hits, yet others can survive it countless times.The acting of MOST of the people in the movie was atrocious! Who in the world wrote the dialogue because that was horrendous! Two of the kids are 'stranded', survived two avalanches which come straight at them, the ice is meant to be sooooo cold that it freezes you on touch, yet they don't even flinch. The girl just screams annoyingly throughout and the fact that she has no hat and is wearing flimsy clothes (not for that kind of snow) she seems to be fine. Then at one point when the boy makes a fire he says something like "tannen is just over the hill, we can make it" and her response is so pathetic "you promise?". errr... what the heck?The meteor has apparently split into 2. one is extremely cold and the other extremely hot. So two heroic figures (surprise surprise) are going to put the meteor back together, LOL!! literally LOL! so one would think that since one side of the meteor is extremely cold the other would be extremely hot, right? WRONG! apparently it can be picked up by a human being wearing a mere heat resistant glove! LOL!it was just so bad, acting, dialogue, the movie, storyline, etc.

This movie has no real story, a total lack of directing talent, bad acting, and mediocre effects. Did I mention the story is pretty bad? This movie is a total waste of time. The people that pirated it should demand the producer refund the cost of the blank DVD. I expect movies of this type to have some degree of unbelievably odd concepts, but this is more of the same genre of those space movies that would be good if not for the lame premise, which is sort of the level of a beginning middle school student. Some of the recent disaster movies have depended quite a bit on CGI, but even that could not save this disaster of a disaster film. Watch it if you want, but don't say I didn't warn ya. Promoted from a 1 because I managed to make it through the thing. There are other disaster films that are not so good and totally science free, but would make for at least a fun evening. 2012, The day after tomorrow, the core, and several other "just fun" movies come to mind. I could see a cult following, but I doubt if it will become that well known.

This movie will honestly leave you wondering why anyone would ever look at this as a finished piece of film. First of all, lets talk about the title, "Icetastrophe" .....? Is that really the only title a group of adults could come up with? You could have named it "Cold at Christmas" or "The Mysterious Meteor" or literally ANYTHING would have been better than "Icetastrophe". The plot is very underwhelming with actors who look almost as disappointed to be in this movie, as I looked while watching it. There is pointless and ridiculous flash freezing of random people, who happen to be standing ONLY steps away from other people who are miraculously untouched by the cold. Pieces of meteor keep falling and somehow slicing through cops, which would have been funny, had it not been so sad that the movie was really that level of unrealistic and stupid.The way in which the plot and dialogue describe the meteors state and behavior is in no way possible... nor is it even likely in reality for a meteor to ever behave that way! It's as though a child with no understanding of physics or astronomy, wrote the entire plot and then, directed the movie, from the point of view of a very small, very male , child like mind.The entire movie is completely cliché and predictable right down to the little love bird teenagers getting a stupid, yet happy ending.The one good thing I can say about this movie, and probably the only reason I watched it, is because the protagonist/ lead character actor, was very attractive. In closing, I honestly think this movie would have made a great parody disaster movie, had the actors been allowed to actually express in their dialogue, how terrible they truly thought the plot was, maybe throwing in a few jokes or some satire. The sad thing is, they actually meant us to take it seriously.

In a nutshell.....asteroid hits town starting to celebrate Christmas, Santa gets flash frozen, people scream, people flee and good looking lead actor and actress save town just before everyone is flash frozen. Too bad Mystery Science Theater is not still on TV, because this movie is perfect for it. There is no story line, no character development, no acting of note, no anything other than wall-to-wall things/people being flash frozen. There is not even a point to who is/isn't flash frozen. But trying to find something positive to say, it does have a lot of actors who were in other shows/movies that were much better. Its just a classically bad sci-fi movie and the kind of movie for people who are into such things.
