I was looking forward to this film and although I could tell what was happening, this film is full of inconsistencies and unnecessary parts which have no bearing on the disaster in hand. There are tangents all over the place with no context to explain what is going on. Emotions occur out of nowhere seemingly without any cause. There was a lot of over use of big, scientific words that the average person won't necessarily understand which I have never seen in any other film in this genre. It felt like the story was poorly written and overall, probably the worse film I've seen. The acting wasn't even that bad, in fact I would say it was fairly good.

Great, the first thing that came onto the screen was the two words: The Asylum. And that pretty much sets a certainly low expectation to the movie, doesn't it? Yet, I still opted to sit down and watch the movie, given it was a natural disaster movie that I hadn't already seen.

Writer Marc Gottlieb put together a script and storyline that was very, very generic and predictable for a natural disaster movie. And trust me when I say that there are far better natural disaster movies with subzero temperatures out there. And there really is no particular reason to sit down and spend 85 minutes on watching "Ice Storm". So many things throughout the course of the bland narrative just makes you shake your head in disbelief.

The cast ensemble in the movie was relatively unfamiliar to me, which is usually something I enjoy in movies. However, the script in "Ice Storm" was every bit as frozen and rigid as the natural disaster was supposed to be, so the actors and actresses virtually had nothing to work with, and it showed on the screen. I was only familiar with William Baldwin.

Visually then you're not in for anything great here. But on the upside, then the effects weren't as bad as you might expect from a movie from the dreaded The Asylum movie company. However, nor was it among their best of work. It was, for a lack of better words, mediocre and bland.

"Ice Storm" was a struggle to sit through, and your eyes will probably freeze solid from boredom long before you get through the 85 minutes it runs for.

My rating of director Jared Cohn's 2023 movie "Ice Storm" lands on a generous two out of ten stars. Quite amazing that such laughable movies get made still.

Honestly think it was written by a child and my dog could have created better special effects. Random emotional responses from the actors that had us in hysterics they were so ridiculous. I thought I'd already seen the worst film ever. I was wrong. This is it. If the acting, story line and visual effects were bad, this was only surpassed by the horrendous score. We're still trying to work out whether this is actually a serious film or whether it was made as a joke. Am guessing William Baldwin lost a bet and was forced to do this. Oh and I forgot to mention the ridiculous neoprene suits with the lights making them look like extras from a high school play reenacting Star Trek.
