Sadly Over-hyped

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

My granny always said, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything. That's a pretty tall order for this movie. If you can get past the incomprehensible plot, the ridiculous costumes, the cheesy sets, the 1990s looking "special effects," the awful dialogue, and especially, the terrible acting, you will eventually reach the end. So the best thing I can say about "Ice Planet" is that it does end. BUT - be warned - that's 83 minutes of your life you'll never get back.Happily, this was not the swan song of the late director, Winrich Colby, who did direct some quality and memorable episodes of Star Trek (TNG, DS9, Voyager). Rest In Peace.

This is obviously an attempt for a scifi series pilot. While the acting leaves a lot to be desired and the script is full of ideas that are neither explained or appealing, the movie does have its good parts. One of it is the way the aliens are perceived, as weird light and matter beings which was rather original, the fighter were also pretty cool. The second would be that it opens nice possibilities for the series. Wait, there is no third good thing :)OK, let's take this deeper: 1. Plot Really confusing. A rule in script creation states that all the things that you put in the script must be references for future scenes, else it's just a waste of time. There are a lot of things that have no explanation, they are just put there and I am sure as hell that they will not be used ever again, even in the series. Characters are not developed. At all! They are just there, doing silly things, completely disconnected from reality (theirs or ours). 2. Acting You may recognize actors playing secondary villains in Hollywood movies, and that says it all. But there's more: lots of European actors that nobody heard about, with terrible accents are found all over the place. Some of them die, but that doesn't help, there's lots more. While I can respect the lead's actor attempt for better casting, you can see that it failed especially when you notice that the series has veteran Michael Ironside planned for the part. 3. Sound and music First I thought it was from my head set, but no, from other users comments I understand that this is how the movie sounded for everybody. The only right word to describe it is "Whooshy". There are lots of things whooshing. From weapons and engines to doors and even voices (yes, there are alien controlled people in the film and yes they talk funny).All in all it felt like an anime film that somehow got drawn with real actors in it. "It's not me acting bad, I was drawn that way". Lol! Considering the load of crap that came my way lately disguised as scifi series, this is average and I do have hopes that it can get nice.

This was bad. Really bad. Extremely bad. Let's start with the most important element of any movie: the plot. Or actually, the lack of any. If anyone sees the plot, please return it to the filmmakers. Questions... questions... where are the answers? Isn't a movie supposed to give at least one answer? Ah wel... The SFX. Now those were quite good, for a B-movie. Don't really have to complain about those (except perhaps the use, which they don't have) The actors. This movie was poorly acted, the characters stayed as flat as can be. But hey, there was no room for character development, they had to move the 'story' along! The overall feel. If you watch the first three minutes and feel like pushing the 'stop'-button, do it. You won't regret it.So, my conclusion: a one-way ticket to the trashbin for Ice Planet.

Oh my God! I have never seen anything like this before. The actors are the best thing about this movie - and they perform like high school kids on too much caffeine. The plot is quaint and dosn't really lead anywhere. The whole movie progresses slowly with lots of pointless chit chat and keeps feeding the viewer with questions without ever providing any answers. Big parts of the story makes no sense and seem to be there only to show off special effects - which BTW would seem outdated 15 years ago. This movie is a complete and utter waste of time!
