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

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

When this movie is discovered by aliens races they will take notice. Opinions will be created. Discussions will be made. Wars will be fought. Cults will unify multiple species.Because of this movie waring species will join together in peace. They will form an alliance unified with one goal- the total and complete extermination of the Human species. Not only will the human species that created this movies be exterminated they will decided to sterilise any planet the humans are on in atomic fire just to be sure.Just to be sure.The glowing planets will be left as a stark reminder that some species truly deserve not enslavement, not consumption as food but the total and complete erasure from the universe

Geysers of ice are erupting in Alaska near the city of Fairbanks. They seem to be moving, and if not stopped could cause great peril for the families on Christmas.I could make lots of complaints about this film (and will shortly). But I want to say that despite all the bad things, it was still enjoyable and used far less CGI than typically seen in a SyFy film. I appreciate that they seem to know the film will be cheesy and try not to make it more than it is. I see too many films that take themselves seriously and just end up being boring (most recent example -- "Don't Let Him In"). This one is a fun movie.That being said, it has some questionable aspects. You have a father far too young to be the parent of a teenager. You have methane gas causing people to die just by touching it. You have Alaska, on Christmas Eve, with bright green grass. Methane apparently does not dissipate after causing cracks to the surface and can be directed by explosions...As far as preparation, Brendan Fehr explains, "We have about two weeks max and usually about a week before the whole thing gets rolling." So it is a very quick process from landing a role to filming. So you have to give a little bit of credit to Fehr and co-stars for picking up the characters quickly, knowing the lines, working against events that are not really there... and not getting paid much to do it.I would still recommend this... to a point. It is not award-winning, it is not the best film of the year (or even the month). But it is a good party movie. This is the kind of film you can enjoy with a friend, a beer and a pizza. You do not have to pay close attention to grasp the plot. And sometimes that is okay.

Ice Quake (2010) CATASTROPHIC is a gross understatement for this and all of these super cheesy uninteresting productions that are filmed here in British COLUMBIA. I too am discussed with this 'club' that uses public tax money too present this garbage to the movie viewing public.I for one can not get enough of 'disaster type or mother nature ruling the earth. when I come across a movie like this my first instinct is too look it up on IMDb. TO see the what and where etc. It is almost instinctive now when I read a title, that the movie may be another crappy unbelievably poor attempt at entertainment. when I see filmed in British COLUMBIA,I GET READY FOR THE WORST CGI on this planet. I have seen movies from decades ago with much better imaging that we get here in regards to this sci-fi crap produced here in British COLUMBIA. one could only imagine this is some kind of 'old boys club' who is the moron approving our money to go to these parasites called >PRODUCERS< what a laugh.I want in on our money also. 1 million Canadian lost their homes and jobs,in recent years and some arrogant slob is handing out our cash.one can only conclude some type of payola is going on, maybe not in the material way, but someone is laughing all the way to British Columbia. how many times have I said too myself and friends, why don't theses jokers write some thriller type script ..stay with the movie line, but show us some intelligence , stop the gross slap in our face.and show some pride, instead of this crap. CGI is the worst as usual

This contains spoilers.ICE QUAKE is NOT a movie for flashlight geeks. I am not sure if I have ever seen such poor and unrealistic use and handling of flashlights in a TV show or movie anywhere close to as bad as the flashlight handling in ICE QUAKE. The actors "aimed" the flashlights at least 90º away from where any normal person would find it helpful. Often in rescue movies actors are seen yelling at distant search planes or at helicopters thundering over head. This silly behavior is seen often in movies and TV shows. Sadly, ICE QUAKE finds a new level of unrealistic behavior.Even when the actors are waving the lights around with spastic thrashing arm movements, the beams of light do not once even accidentally point in a useful direction. Perhaps cast and crew were all suffering from 100% snow blindness during the filming of this movie???
