Synopsis

Massive earthquakes open the Arabian tectonic plate, resulting in unstable weather and freezing temperatures that will be unsurvivable by nightfall. Attempting to reach safety, a vacationing family in Egypt must battle the rapidly cooling temperatures that usher in a new Ice Age, covering the Sphinx, Pyramids, and Sahara Desert with mountains of snow.

pittmankenneth This started out looking like it might be a good move. Soon it became obvious that it lacked a budget and most likely a script. Scenes seemed to not run in sequence and I'm not sure but it could have been filmed on an iphone... not the latest iphone either. Finished watching it just to count the bloopers. Wandered off a couple of times and lost count. Having watched it, I now feel now like everyone else should have to. It will probably end up being one of those cult classics.
gingerlead-1 This movie was edited poorly, directed poorly and preformed poorly. Was this take one? The dad's acting was arrogant, compulsive, not believable at all and so was the kid and his mom. You can see the silly camera men behind the boulders in their truck when the actors walk across the mountain, so many blunders it makes the movie totally unbelievable though the concept is possible. There are no scenes to prepare the viewer for making the movie connect as believable such as the huge hail, the boy being washed out of the tunnels but yet somehow people 'know' and come to help? Where is the insight to lead to this scene? What kind of parent or person would let a kid get out of the truck after all the dangers they were in and run to something he saw in the snow? COME ON people. Total blunder by the directors and editors along with the poor acting children could have done a better job. Totally disappointed.
Maximillian Excaliber Where do I begin? First let me say that this film does not contain any plot holes... they are all huge, bottomless caverns! As for technical accuracy, well, except for the fact that the country of Egypt actually exists, there isn't any. The film is consistent, consistently bad that is in writing, dialog and special effects. I would love to give some examples but honestly don't know where to start. However, if you are curious and don't mind wasting part of your life that you will never get back, just watch the first five minutes, you'll understand. Personally, I don't think it's worth the loss.My guess is someone either received their tax refund, got drunk and said to the buddies, "Hey, let's make a movie!" or couldn't figure out a better way to launder money. That last comment is a joke so don't sue me; trust me, there are much better ways to launder money. Unfortunately, the best thing about this film is its movie poster/DVD cover. I suspect that's where most of the budget went. In summation let me say that, were Mystery Science Theater 3000 still airing, the folk there would have a field day with this movie. I recommend watching it while inebriated or otherwise impaired, not because doing so will make the film seem any better, you just won't feel so much like your intelligence is being insulted.
suite92 We start with the American Navy in the eastern Mediterranean. All seems well, then a sequence of unexplained phenomena take out most of the USN ships and planes. Sure. This is 'explained' (not) by referring to activity of the 'Arabian plate' which exposed magma to sea water which did something else between unlikely and impossible. Then a blizzard starts. We start following the Jones family. Father Jack, daughter Amber, and son Dylan are on a tour of Egyptian pyramids when the strange weather strikes. They get re-connected with mother Diane before the problems get really serious. Getting a plane out of Egypt fails. The train ride fails because Dylan jumps off. Camels work for a bit. Walking seems a disaster. Trucks were not all that safe either.Since the entire Jones family seems to be good at making bad decisions, will the locals end up helping them? Does anyone get out of this ever-worsening mess?What is supposed to be Egypt was filmed in Detroit, MI, US. Brilliant. The American teen Amber knows more about Egyptian culture than the locals? I don't think so. Either child knowing more than both parents about every issue? No, just no. People jumping off a pyramid 50 times their own height and landing uninjured with unsullied clothing? No.
