Ice Queen (2005)

- written October 2007

Summary: Dr. Goddard has found a frozen body of an ice-age woman. A creature really who he needs to be kept cold so he can do experiments on her. Needless to say she warms up, the plane crashes and lands at a ski resort...causing an avalanches trapping everyone inside. Soon the Ice Queen is trying to kill everyone but Dr. Goddard is trying to save her from dying! Problem is, does she care?           Overall: Surprisingly, a lot of people forgave the film’s brutally awful special effects and though the film was decent. Those are some very sad people. The snow is really tons of colored sand over a miniature field. The avalanche took 7 minutes of screen time, most likely to justify the tens of dollars spent on it. They’re awful effects and the less screen time, the better. But at 7 minutes, it makes it very easy to see how truly brutal these “effects “ are. So bad, I’d have started to fire people!           The acting is just “ok”...but frankly...our main character just cheated on his fiancée and frankly even though the hooker ends up “saving” him, the fiancée never followed up on why he’d get drunk and go to bed with her, anyway. She sorta forgave him...oh but kissing and more than that, was ok honey? I think everyone’s marriages should be that open! And frankly...could she have covered herself up at times...was she “that cold”? Really? The ending was funny...sorta right out of “Jack Frost.” Skip it...nothing to see here!           Comparison: Splash meets Ski School
