First of all I have to start out by stating that this particular movie is a production from The Asylum, so any avid movie fans should by now already know what they are in for here with this movie.
And yes, it delivers as expected, just as most other productions that is spewed out by The Asylum. This movie have all the trademarks that usually comes with their movies; questionable acting, thin storyline, two-dimensional characters that you don't really get much around to actually care about, and of course horrendous CGI effects.
So why do people watch these? Well, I watch them because they are so bad that they are actually fun to watch. I like to see in just what way do they manage to come up with something even more bad than in previous movies. And they never fail to amaze.
The story in "100 Degrees Below Zero" is about the volcanic ash cloud that spread from Iceland some years back, so they take point in an actual event, but just take it a notch beyond. This cloud quickly spreads to abnormal proportions and threatens to cover most of Europe in a perpetual layer of ash, blocking out the sun and bringing about with it a new ice age. Steve (played by Jeff Fahey) and Lacey (played by Judit Fekete) have to race to get to Steve's children in time before the dreaded winter claims Europe.
Well, story-wise, then it is a fairly 'straight-from-the-script' press as far low budget disaster movies go. There is nothing innovating or breathtakingly new to be seen here.
The effects in "100 Degrees Below Zero" were bad, yes, but not actually amongst the worst I have seen in this particular type of natural disaster movies. However, you just never for a single second bought into the destruction and mayhem that was supposed to take place in Paris, where most of the movie took place. It was just not very convincing or believable.
As for the acting in the movie, then it was a rather dull experience, even with semi-famous names like Jeff Fahey and John Rhys-Davies to the cast list. And the acting by the two playing the children was just laughable, and I kid you not that they were actually spending more time rolling around on the ground than they did standing up. I was laughing so hard at this, it took no more than a mild gust of wind to knock these two over. It was so bad!
I will give the movie some thumbs up though, as it, unlike so many other disaster movies, didn't have a pathetic ending where the main characters end up saving the entire world by thwarting a natural disaster.
If you enjoy bad natural disaster movies, then you will definitely find some enjoyment in "100 Degrees Below Zero", otherwise you might want to stay clear of this and find something more enjoyable to watch.
