stevepat99 Review of Christmas Icetastrophe

Christmas Icetastrophe (2014 TV Movie)

Break out the popcorn, kick back and have some scenic, icey FUN!

[8/10 · 19 October 2019]

I am thinking back to the hokie disaster films of the 70's, 80's, 90's and have to say this was as good or better then some of those more claustrophobic (caught in a building by flames or earthquake) films. The lead actor was 'manly' and did a fine job. The student 'scientist' was okay when she was not risking her life to get proof that would give her professional 'fame.' Scenery was one of the major highlights of the film. The relentless 'ice' onslaught had me drinking several hot chocolates. Action and body count was as good as many other, more highly rated films. Someone correctly compared the film to Dantes peak, a much more highly rated film, whereas this film had a similar location but much more unique space born disaster theme. There was the teen girl ranting "I'm freeezing" all the while failing to wear the beautiful furry hood on her jacket. No other issues once I suspended all notions of science. So, popcorn in one hand, hot chocolate in the other and I totally enjoyed this low budget disaster flick!
