Review of Ice

Ice (2011)
6/10
A bit better than expected

Warning: Spoilers
ICE is a two-part disaster-themed TV miniseries made as a collaboration between the UK and New Zealand. It's set in the former and shot in the latter for the most part, and THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW is a big inspiration. The viewer is treated to three hours of square-jawed hero Richard Roxburgh running around warning of the break-up of the ice sheets in Greenland, while the usual corporate types couldn't care less. This plays out in two distinct halves, with Sam Neill's venal businessman proving the villain of the first, while the second goes into full apocalypse mode. There's a lot of cheesy CGI here and a lot of familiar actors doing their thing; I found it a bit better than I'd expected, with plenty of incident to keep the pace moving along.
