Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
CinemaClown Far too juvenile to appeal to anyone other than kids, the fourth instalment in the Ice Age series is a clear evidence that the studio should've stopped after the last chapter instead of inflating the saga mindlessly for the bubble finally bursts with this latest entry that is as dull & lifeless as sequels get.The story of Ice Age: Continental Drift follows Manny who along with Sid & Diego is separated from his family following the breakup of their continent, inadvertently caused by Scrat during his pursuit of the prized acorn, and soon find themselves captured by sea pirates while trying to return home.Co-directed by Steve Martino & Mike Thurmeier, Continental Drift begins well but the story fizzles out of gas way sooner than expected and for the most part, it is a chore to sit through. The plot is just meh, the original characters feature no interesting arcs while the new additions are a tad too annoying.The animation still retains its crisp quality & sharpness but the camera is more focused on the 3D experience than the story or characters, Editing is lame, most of its attempts at humour fall apart, and the only thing that manages to stay consistent with its predecessors is Scrat's stroke of bad luck.On an overall scale, Ice Age: Continental Drift is an uninspiring, uninvolving & unnecessary entry in the saga that takes little elements from the first three films but fails to execute the winning formula this time. Exhibiting signs of weariness & massive downgrade in pretty much everything, it is an absolutely bland & empty experience that easily goes down as the weakest chapter of the series, thus far. Skip it.
jameslinton-75252 Honestly, I was disappointed by Ice Age 4. It is such a shame, as I loved the first few films of this series when I was younger, but now I think it is suffering from franchise fatigue. The jokes aren't funny and the entire film just felt like an exhausted affair. I'm just glad that they still included Scrat. He is by far the best thing in the film. I just love the idea that he is responsible for Pangea breaking apart and for also the sinking of Scratlantis. Also I don't think that the villains were well-realised. I get that this is a kid's film, but the villains seemed like they were right out of a pantomime. They were two-dimensional and not very interesting.Read my full review for more: http://goo.gl/tkl2Nu
claura833 I am a huge fan of the first Ice Age movie. It made me cry. You might say that this was an unnecessary sequel but having said that it's just great fun for both the adults and the kids. This is the fourth frosty installment of the popular Dream Works series, and I do have to say that although this is so far, the weakest of the movies, the simplicity and the comedy are still great to watch. Yes OK I know that maybe some of the gags are running dry, and some critics have said Ice Age has had it's day, but it's still really top notch family entertainment and what more can you ask for? I really loved it and so did my kids. Who doesn't love a woolly mammoth? Plus there are decent morals thrown in to the plot. Very nice animation and constantly entertaining, I really hope they keep them coming! This was very funny and good like all the others.
Sandeep Gupta Ice Age 4 was obvious to arrive after Ice Age 3 was accepted universally as the funniest in the series. But that's where the problem starts. Ice Age 4 is adventurous like its predecessors but not funny like Ice Age 3 nor subtle like Ice Age 1. Most of the new characters fall flat and most of the situations are pretty predictable and pinch like clichés. It's not like everything was bad. Granny character was funny and complimented our adorable and crazy Sid. There are fun moments too but only here and there. It felt like the lead characters are getting tired of these adventures so is the loyal audience. Even the most liked character Scratte did not have enough fun this time. If they are thinking on Ice Age 5, I just hope they reinvent the series with some original idea.
