I think I have never seen a worse film than 100 ° below zero. Unknown actors, absent acting, less bad than at least did not spend money on dubbing studios because they were enough subtitles in Italian ...Special, nasty, useless effects (absurd the ice balls in Paris disappearing from one shot to the other!)I've been really struggling to get to the end of the movie. Do not buy it, do not rent it or watch it online. It's not worth it.

Paris is a city of some 7 million people, and they all evacuated in 10 minutes, leaving the main kids the city to themselves for most of the movie. This movie begs for IMDb to re-insert its message boards, just so we can make fun of movies like this. The dwarf dude from Lord of the Rings provided the only drama when he made the plane wait an extra 10 minute before taking off. How many times could the main kid run into the girl he was checking out earlier in the film?

The plot idea was sound enough (after all, it worked well for the blockbuster that inspired it). Sadly the execution was very sloppy - even by The Asylum standards.The caricatures (you can't say that they were developed enough to be characters) never develop in any way that encourages the audience to care about them at all. As usual there is a mentally underdeveloped son in the family. I'm not sure why The Asylum is so keen on this feature. Surely they could either write the part for an older teen or cast a younger actor? They drive to the Channel Tunnel - which is strangely being guarded by Eastern Europeans in US-style combat gear. Some attempt has been made to show a location - by placing a still photo of a Eurostar sitting in the tunnel mouth. It would be still, of course, as there is no electrical overhead wiring and, as we soon discover, no track in the tunnel either seeing as they drive through it in the Eastern European-registered car that they somehow obtained in the UK.Also, it seems that the storm is so bad that all the roads in France have vanished.The RAF also now wear US uniforms and use American ranks (although, at least they used a couple of Brits to play the parts). Really, though, how hard would it have been to use the right uniforms and ranks? Not at all. It just emphasises how lazy the production were being.Now, they chose to film in Hungary. How much extra would it have cost to film in the UK or France where they could have used actors with appropriate accents and uniforms? There is doing a film on the cheap, and then there is producing something so lazily that it really does not deserve to have been produced.It is actually annoying that I know of local actors and directors who can produce films of higher standards than this on a four-figure budget, yet their work remains unbroadcast.

I spent most of this film, supposedly set in sub zero temperatures, wanting to do up the jackets of every actor in it (assuming they were wearing one at all) - yes it really was THAT bad.In order for us to be entertained there has to be some degree of believability about the film. Third rate special effects (just not acceptable nowadays) do not make for a disaster movie, more a disastrous film. It didn't help that acting of the wife, or maybe her script, were dire. She had less maturity than her teenage daughter. My husband laughed out loud at the effects when ... well I don't want to give the plot away... just in case curiosity gets the better of you. I have seen some films in my time which had awful ratings and enjoyed them...but not this time.
