This film was almost unwatchable. The only reason that I stayed awake while it played was the people sat next to me who were laughing every so often and also the fact that I knew I could watch something better afterwards.

With every single minute of the first 30 minutes being one prat fall after another, this one showed me it was not going to be very good...To make it even worse, the CGI was way too bright, and just didn't project the same color as the originals...it felt fake, period...while it had 3D depth, otherwise it wasn't impressive...I'm having a tough time continuing on with this review, it isn't bad per se'...but in no way does it have the same magic we have grown to expect from Ice Age...

Some animated movies cry out for sequels...'Finding Nemo', 'Toy Story', even 'Shrek' are but a few. But 'Ice Age', now with its FOURTH sequel, is definitely not one of them!The premise is moronic, even for a children's movie. Scrat, looking for someplace to bury his acorn, activates an abandoned alien ship that launches asteroids destined to collide with Earth. At the same time, Manny is worried about his daughter Peaches upcoming wedding, Sid is dumped by his girlfriend Francine, and Diego and Shira want to start a family - but are afraid their appearance might be too scary for kids. And there are several other ridiculous plots going on at the same that do nothing but confuse little viewers.Although I loved the original "Ice Age", and even the first sequel or two, this fifth submission was obviously made just to exploit a few more bucks out of movie go-ers pockets. Note to studio: NO NUMBER SIX!!!

Scrat's hunt for the acorn leads him into a spaceship buried in the ice. He accidentally flies into space and sets asteroids on a collision course with earth. Back on the ground, Peaches and Julian want to get married. It's Manny and Ellie's anniversary when some of the asteroids start crashing onto the ground. Buck the weasel explains a prophecy set in stone about an asteroid destroying the world. The gang sets off to stop the forewarn catastrophe opposed by a family of dino-birds.The Ice Age franchise has always played fast and loose with facts and reality. This goes way too far and makes less sense than anything from before. It is sound and fury signifying nothing. The story rambles on and on. The squirrel is still the funniest part of the movie. If they want to go into space, why not have aliens take the whole gang and have some fun with that. This is a lot of unfunny non-sense. It's only saving grace may be its brightly-colored wackiness which may delight the youngest crowd. The story is too much of a mess for anybody with a developed brain.
