Review of Ice Age 2 - The Meltdown (DVD)

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown PLOT Global Warming. Its all over the news, its our fault, right? No, at least, not this time. Hot lava from the core of the earth is rising to the surface, heating things. In Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, everything is melting and there is too much water around; floods on an enormous scale loom. The only chance for Sid, Manny, and Diego (all recurring characters from the first movie) and all the other creatures to survive is ...
...OPINION The first Ice Age was a fantastic movie and it was going to take quite a feat for a sequel for the second movie to draw close to it. I believe Ice Age 2 has achieved that. The world of Ice Age 2 is much larger than that from the first movie. Also in the first movie, everything was quite uniform: the ice age was still going strong and everything was ice and snow. In this movie, the animators had to contend with lakes, grass, mud, trees, ...

Everything is melting, and if they can't get to a safely situated area before the glacial dam bursts, everyone's lives will be destroyed by the Meltdown! Manny (Ray Romano) is the only mammoth any of these creatures have ever seen, and parents pause in the great exodus to point ...

Will Manny and Ellie fall in love and save each other from extinction? ...

...one, or two, but three Ice Age films! I love to watch things in sequence, so of course this was next on my list. By now we were flying from Doha to Jo’Burg, and to be honest after 6 hours plodding around in 30 degree heat, I was a bit tired. I really enjoyed the first film and was determined to see the second two. Sadly due to my tiredness I only just managed this one. Even then I had to keep replaying it! If you’ve not seen the first film yet, I’d ...

Manny the mammoth, Sid the sloth and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger realise that if the animals are to survive, they need to move away from the melting icebergs. Already, the vultures are gathering, sure to pick up any unfortunate creatures that do not survive the journey or get killed in the floods. They know a safer place to go, ...

The Ice Age is coming to a close and Manny the mammoth, Sid the Sloth and Diego the sabre-tooth cat are relaxing in their valley home; a paradise of waterfalls and geysers. But as the ice recedes, they realise their habitat is threatened by a huge flood. A massive ice dam at the end of the valley is about to burst. So they must convince everyone to head for higher ground and escape themselves. But can they escape the rising water and the monsters ...
...than at them. The melting ice allows for a greater range of environments. The backgrounds are superb with almost photo-realistic elements in some of them, whether it's glaciers, rocks or trees. The ice is so convincing you could get cold just looking at it and the water moves in the right way. The eventual slow-motion dam collapse is a sight to behold. In terms of direction, Carlos Saldanha has more tricks at his disposal this time round. He shoots ...

Review of Ice Age 2 - The Meltdown (DVD)

...and absolutely adored the first Ice Age movie, in fact I saw it several times in the cinema. When I heard they were making a sequel my first comment was "I have to see it" I had no idea what the film would be about but I simply had to see it, naturally there was a risk of being dissapointed but I was willing to take that risk. Sadly I missed it when it was released in the cinema(was busy having a baby at the time) and so had to wait until it was ...
...and im not dissapointed. ICE AGE- Some people may not have seen the first movie so I thought it would be a good idea to give a little background information, otherwise you wont understand how the 3 main characters come to be travelling together. Ice Age is set, you guessed it, in the ice age, after the dinosaurs have died out. The prehistoric mammals are migrating in order to avoid the impending ice age. Sid the sloth, who has been abandoned by ...

...when they discover that the Ice is Melting. Unfortuately they are all in a valley, so must head off for higher ground to survive the flood. The flood part of the story opens the film up to some great new characters in the form of Prehistoric Underwater Reptiles, who you can see swimming under the ice waiting for the cracks to appear. These creatures can be quite scary for younger children, so bare that in mind. Other new characters are the Vultures ...
...each other a bit, the Ice gives way and the water floods the valley. Some harsh words are said between the group, and some pride has to be swallowed, as they battle to save each other from the water, and the Hungry creatures below the water. As you would expect there is a happy ending. Well almost, scrat never seems to get what he wants. In short the film is very good. A bit more jokes, and funny moments than the first. This film appeals to all ...
