Title: a couple of movie suggestions Post by: David Ray on January 26, 2008, 04:50:14 PM A couple of movies I would reccomend are as follows:
1. Absolute Zero (from the back of the box)INTER SCI climatologist David Koch (Jeff Fahey) has evidence that a shift in the Earth's polarity triggered the last Ice Age...in a single day. Now, it's happening again, and there's no time to escape. As the temperature plummets, Miami is blasted with snow and ice. Evacuation routes are jammed. The only chance David, his old flame Bryn (Erika Eleniak), and a few other hopeful survivors have is to hole themselves up in a special chamber at INTER SCI. A desperate race for survival is ignited as nature's fury rages and the temperature plunges toward -459.67 degrees F...ABSOLUTE ZERO! this movie is specifically notable for two things: first, there is all of 1 piece of actuall science in the film; second, the catchphrase "Science is never wrong." 2. Sinbad of the Seven Seas, starring Lou Ferrigno. Harder to describe how bad it is, but suffice to say that it contains rubber suits, a Chinese Samurai (!?), and a villain who never blinks, as well as more plot holes than even Mario could jump over. enjoy!

Talk about the blind following the blind. "The Day After Tomorrow" drives me nuts when I try to rationalize any part of it.
There is a Reader Review on the site for "Sinbad of the Seven Seas." http://www.badmovies.org/othermovies/sinbadseas/ Title: Re: a couple of movie suggestions Post by: darthchicken on January 27, 2008, 10:48:11 PM Absolute Zero does seem like a cheap rip-off on Day After Tomorrow and it raises the question "why would someone make a cheap rip-off of Day After Tomorrow? I hated that movie. Maybe it isn't I only read your little write up, it just seems like one.

It kind of felt like they tried to combine a bunch of different, half finished screenplays. Like, at the begining, they find an ancient frozen body in Antarctica, but then they never do anything with that. There's a bunch of stuff like that, that just comes up, then they get bogged down in "characterization".
