Vincent Black None of the characters have any depth, back story, or motive. The dialog was written by a child. The entire movie lacked any action. It was like watching a rock and waiting for it to move.1. Dr. David Kotzman returns from the expedition where he and Dr. Aldaron found some cave paintings. He walks into Dr. Veet's office and asks him, "What happened down there?". Really? Dr. Veet didn't go on the expedition, how would he know anything more than Dr. Kotzman?2. Nerds in love, AJ Carmichael and Phillip (no last name) sit in a truck and ask each other, "You got any family?". Not only are they both without living relatives, they both are dirt-bags when it comes to pets. 3. Both Sophie and her daughter Bryn show no remorse for the dearly departed spouse and father. I suppose they knew Dr. David Kotzman was replacement dad. Also Bryn is said to be 8 but the actress at the time of filming was 12 and it really shows. 4. Pointless, dull, and dimwitted is the only way to describe the action or suspense. At the beginning some lifeless characters are tossed about in a quake. One man falls into the crack after warning others to stay back. The climactic ending is people running for a door as a timer reaches zero. Dull conversation and news stories cover events without disaster.5. Science is never wrong, is said too much in this movie. Almost as much as the title is mentioned. Science is not wrong or right. The line isn't used to make any point other than, to tell the audience, "This movie is never wrong.". To illustrate; I have issue on one scene, where the nerds are typing on a PC in a building without power to restore the power. I don't know how to restore power to office buildings, but I don't think you run upstairs and type on a PC. I would think it requires maintenance men to go fix and repair fuses and wires in someplace like the basement?I watched this on Netflix because I was bored. I need to remember to cancel my Netflix account.

TheLittleSongbird And one where the hilariously ironic title is the only good thing about it and the most inspired it gets. Even for low-budget, Absolute Zero is very amateurishly done with editing as far away from slick as you can possibly go, tacky scenery with the beauty of Miami completely lost for obvious reasons, drab lighting and special effects that look as though they would belong in a disaster movie from 30+ years ago(even high school students have produced better than this). The music is sluggish and over-dramatic and at times it feels very misplaced and the muddied sound quality doesn't help it. The dialogue is horrendous, the jargon sounded like total gibberish to the point of incoherence, the dramatic parts were written in a hammy fashion and not in a while have I seen a movie with romances written as goofy as this one. The story verges on tediousness too often and riddled with ridiculousness and logic lapses. The science is completely unbelievable and sounds like it was made up on the spot, yes I am aware this is science fiction but this was a number of stretches too far, it was intelligence-insulting. If you're looking for fun, thrills or suspense, Absolute Zero is not for you as there is absolutely none of those three in sight. The characters are not engaging in the least bit and none of them seem to give a damn about their situation, like a woman's husband dying tragically(in a very clumsily executed way) and she barely grieves and the lead scientist certainly isn't that concerned about the Earth if he drives around in a Hummer that emits a huge amount of carbon. The acting is just as awful, Jeff Fahey yells his way through his role and Erika Eleniak looks bored out of her skull(don't blame her). Jessica Amlee manages to be the least bad, but that is not saying an awful lot. All in all a terrible movie with zero entertainment value. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Martin Meenagh This film is so bad, it was fascinating--almost completely predictable, but in the fashion of a close competitor (The Evil Under Loch Ness), the writers or directors would at some points get bored and just veer off on a mad, inexplicable and obviously unexplained tangent. I love bad films and B-movies, but this...it hypnotises like the worst of car crashes. The production values were also just strange; Jeff Fahey looked like a sort of Liberace lovechild, Will Ferrell dropped in a pot of ink, the greedy administrator belonged in Jud Suss or something, and, well, Elena looked like she was crying off-set at the memory of under siege for most of the takes. You know you're in trouble when Steven Seagal movies are a past high point, and my advice to her is to maybe do something to rebuild--say organic farming--and buy gold coins with the royalties. They can be got very cheap.Not even Leslie Nielsen or Bill Murray could have deadpanned their way through this to save it. Watch if only to learn what not to do, or, alternatively, get drunk and set the audio to German or something central European.

sschiavone OK i just saw this movie because it was so boring at work and it was the only one that would download...having said that i read the reviews of other people and agree it was a terrible movie bad writing bad acting bad effects...but i cant get over the fact that people are commenting on the fact that the shifting of the poles is impossible...well lets see now how many movies out there have a script or plot that is improbable or impossible just like the big budget star packed Armageddon where they send a group of oil well drillers to an asteroid do drill a big hole to blow it up...right because that happens every week...i just had to get that off my chest.
