Movie Reviews of Absolute Zero
Movie Review: You Don't Watch This One for Scientific Accuracy
Summary: 2 Stars
It is easy to poke fun of ABSOLUTE ZERO. It is an end of the world as we know it film, full of scientific implausibilities and impossibilities. Still, there is just enough human drama that somehow manages to fizzle through the generally low level of scripting, FX, and hamminess. Jeff Fahey is a scientist who discovers that the earth will soon encounter a phenomenon called Pole Reversal. Under this scenario, the earth's poles exchange relative position, an occurrence which has happened many times during the earth's 4.5 billion year history. Exactly what would happen to the planet is still unclear but it is unlikely to result in a capsizing or tilting of the earth on its axis. ABSOLUTE ZERO is a weird blending of a deep freezing America from the film THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW with a capsized earth from the novel THE HAB THEORY. Much of ABSOLUTE ZERO is full of teasers that lead up to the climax. The opening scenes of a melting Antarctic ice cap are truly interesting. The long dead remains of a frozen human being dated from just before the last capsizing further pique the viewer. Jeff Fahey gives a competent performance as one who tries to convince his disbelieving boss that it is already too late to do anything but evacuate any area near the equator. Erika Eleniak is his erstwhile girlfriend who has since married another, had a child by him, and now must care for both despite the oncoming upheaval. The FX are third rate, which one expects from the shoestring budgets of the SCIFI channel. The last few minutes are no more than the ticking clock of most disaster films that do not get decided until the very end. Even viewers not well versed in science will undoubtedly gape in disbelief at the implausibility of events. What emerges from watching ABSOLUTE ZERO is the realization that it could have been a much improved film had director Robert Lee focused more on the drama and less of the melodrama of a truly monstrous catastrophe of biblical proportions.
Summary of Absolute Zero
INTER SCI climatologist David Koch (Jeff Fahey) has evidence that a shift in the Earth's polarity triggered the last Ice Agein 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? F...ABSOLUTE ZERO!Horror DVD Video
