Ice Planet (2001)

Sets the standard for SCi-Fi Channels regular lame-regurgitations while leaving even the most skeptical Fan breathless with amazement! And perfectly leaves the door open for a part 2 which we are ready to kill for!!! I won't to act in part 2 and I'm not taking no for an answer..Extrasonly.com Andrew David Ford.Those who don't care for it and are blind I got news for you...you blind natural-born-loser ingrate who wouldn't no your ass-hole from a Gay-club glory-hole go and judge your worthless blood line as in bred before you even try and judge anything higher ... like this superb Sci-Fi Blockbuster!

I have to agree that this was not the most technically advanced film I have ever seen, but it was made 5 years ago and we are used to seeing great effects today, but it is a good story. Wes makes for a very interesting lead and the plot leaves clues and questions that only the planned series could have answered. It was unfortunate that the series was not picked up at the time, but it has left the door open for the remake that is currently in production in Canada/Germany. And with todays CGI, and an industry first from VICON, there are only good things destined for this show. I can see Ice Planet (2001) quickly becoming a new classic in sci fi. thefoxcub . ice-planet.TV

I viewed this last night and it was simply a horrific script, direction, budget and acting. There was almost nothing original in the script, it seemed to take old ideas from about 3 generations of Star Trek and was utterly confusing. It appears by the ending that it was supposed to be a pilot for a continuing series but I don't think any networks would take this up. It could have been promising since the only thing really going for it were the CGI action sequences but the acting was sooo bad that it destroyed the film. The worst actor was the commander. His entire crew were close behind. I'd like to say something positive but I can't. The plot? Basically the earth, and all it's outstations/colonies are under attack by an alien race. They can destroy worlds and earth has nothing that can stop it (kind of like the planet eater in the original star trek or star trek the movie (i think #2 or 3, the one with the dolphins!!). The script had potential right there but tanked from that point forward.

Well that about says it all. I couldn't agree more with the other commentators on this movie. After watching it for 10 minutes the first thought of pressing the "STOP" button on the remote was triggered.But being a big SCI-FI buff and not wanting to jump to conclusions after the first minutes of viewing I decided to show mercy and watched it to the end, thinking it might become better as it went along.Big mistake..It didn't got better. After the ending I had absolutely no idea what this "movie" was about. The characters are as thin as cardboard and the storyline.. Well, if any of you figure it out feel free to drop me a line.On second thought let's forget about this movie and speak of it no more.<Conclusion>Don't:A) waste your money buying it.B) waste your time watching it, andC) don't say I didn't warn you... I thought I could digest just about any SF movie, until Ice Planet came along.
