Absolutely Fantastic

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

We saw this at home on DVD from our public library. About halfway through my wife commented "This is not as good as the first one." True, nor as good as the second one, or the third one, etc.Part of the initial enjoyment was the novelty of the various wild animals getting along in prehistoric times, during the Ice Ages. Never mind that the actual chronology is inaccurate. In fact there is an 8- minute "extra" on the DVD where Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson addresses a number of the "scientific" points in this animated movie and explains why they might be grossly different from reality. All in fun of course. He even voices one of the characters.Where the other movies featured a short segment of Scrat getting into a bind, the story here in essence features Scrat's bind within the core story. Because of Scrat's ineptness he accidentally sets in motion events that created the Solar System as we know it, forming Jupiter's giant red spot, formation of the asteroid belt, the moon's orbiting around the Earth, and a few others.The big one amounted to an asteroid that would hit Earth soon and result in another mass extinction, all because of Scrat's ineptness. So all the animals on Earth have to pool their wisdom and strength to divert the asteroid.It runs 90 minutes and often gets tedious, the core story interrupted by sight gags and short vignettes. I laughed a few times but if I had never seen this movie it would not have been a significant loss.

'ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)The fifth installment in the 'ICE AGE' computer-animated movie franchise (which began in 2002). This one tells the story of Manny, and his Paleolithic mammal friends, trying to stop a meteor strike from destroying the planet. It once again stars the voice talents of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Simon Pegg, Seann William Scott, Josh Peck, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Lopez, Wanda Sykes and Chris Wedge (all reprising their roles from other movies); while newcomers Adam DeVine, Keke Palmer, Nick Offerman, Max Greenfield, Stephanie Beatriz and Neil deGrasse Tyson all join the cast. The film was directed by Mike Thurmeier (who also co-directed the last two 'ICE AGE' movies) and Galen T. Chu; and it was written by Michael Wilson, Michael Berg, Yoni Brenner and Aubrey Solomon (all mostly experienced animated film writers, some working on other 'ICE AGE' movies). It got mostly horrible reviews from critics, but it was a big hit at the international Box Office. I think it's about as good as I expected it to be. Scrat (Wedge) is still trying to catch that acorn; and in the process he accidentally launches himself into space (in an abandoned alien spaceship). While in space, he then accidentally causes several asteroids to head towards earth. When Manny (Romano), Sid (Leguizamo), Diego (Leary), and the rest of their mammal friends, learn of their coming doom, they set out to stop the asteroids. A trio of angry dromaeosaurs then set out to stop them. The movie is about as good as the rest of the 'ICE AGE' sequels; maybe not quite as good (but I can't really remember the others). I know I enjoyed the original quite a bit, and I think the entire franchise is decent. There's definitely a lot of silly jokes in them, but some of the humor is kind of funny; you also have to like the voice cast, and Scrat is definitely always amusing. This film also has a really insightful line about veganism (some positive social commentary in a kids movie)! I liked the film, but of course I didn't love it.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://vimeo.com/193849869

It seems like all people behind Ice Age movies just got bored of coming up with new stuff and decided to do whatever because of popularity of franchise will bring them people and that's it. There are couple of new and entertaining scenes in the movie but they get so overthrown by those that are just bad and try to imitate other movies dialogues and in doing so just being sloppy. After 30 minutes of movie it was already so bad, boring and lame that almost became not watchable but then they throw one good scene at you just to keep you there and then continue like before. Predictability of movie and annoying characters with bad dialogue that led to some of outrageous scenes that are totally irrelevant and filling up movie time so it would last at least 90 minutes. Movie is just bad and if you liked this franchise this is going to be a torturous experience. 1/4
