The Thaw
This movie made me angry and rarely do films do that. You’d think with a description about a group of scientists discovering a killer parasite that was feeding on a dead woolly mammoth they found thawing in ice would be interesting. Maybe some good action, or at least interesting characters and a cool new kind of creature or maybe some thawing ice age creature that comes to life or something… but no! The cover… IS A LIE. It’s like watch me I’m interesting and action packed when really… it’s just so full of stupid and Hollywood agenda it hurt my brain. GLOBAL WARMING IS GONNA KILL US ALL!!! We must sacrifice to make CHANGE about something we cannot control. ZOMG!!!!!
Bull crap. They don’t even give you two minutes into the movie before it’s screaming about it. Yes movie we get your point, global warming baaaaad. Must kill self now to stop such evils from occurring!!!! This movie disgusts me. The worst movie I have watched this year. I’m sure there will be another movie worse than this soon, the third Twilight, BUT for now this is the worst I’ve bothered to waste my precious time on. I would rather pluck out every hair on my body one by one with rusted tweezers than have to watch this steaming pile of dog poo again.
I already knew after the characters were introduced what was going to happen, it was such a cookie cutter movie. Single dad, working away from home, rebellious obnoxious teen/young adult daughter, four stupids that tag along. The brave one, the dumb one, the chicken, and the black dude. Well we already know black dude’s dead cause that’s how it always goes, though he didn’t go first this time. *gasp* So they find out that this Mammoth that was infected EONS ago with some parasite has been thawed out and it has infected the team of scientists they went up to visit. They get infected and try to stop the coward man from calling people up because it’ll spread blah blah, then they find out oh the girl’s daddy is being a royal douche by trying infect himself and spread it to the world so they gotta stop him now. Huzzah! In the end only one survives to warn the world and then you see that oop it’s too late anyways cause the birds have got ‘em. Golly gee whizz. :B
GARGH I just… words cannot describe how much I HATED the characters. The only enjoyable one was the black man and he had like NO personality in this movie. He was nice, and he sacrificed himself… even though he was pretty much doomed anyways but that’s besides the point. The movie stayed inside this makeshift science complex pretty much 95% of the time and it was BORING. ZOMG the bugs are eating people from inside out. Ok… that’s nasty uhm… where’s the action? Oh yeah scaredy man is running around with a gun, ok.. fun.
Most of the time I just felt like punching the characters. They were so STUPID. The girl, for instance, went around touching EVERYONE and EVERYTHING but she managed to somehow stay parasite free, as does her little bit of a love interest. The time she does come close to being infected he grabs the bug somehow, pulling it outta her would even though it probably would have snapped off its tail or something and still made it in… and just UGH so much stupid in this movie. The scientists are evilz and try to spread the bugs, you got the dumb college kids with no common sense blabbing about melting ice caps…
I dunno what else to say about this movie… it’s just stupid plot, stupid scripting, stupid characters, the idea of it sounded kinda interesting when I read the back but… no it’s just … stupid and boring. It was like watching an hour and half like advertisement by the greenpeacers about global warming. Bleeeeeh I haven’t been so disgusted by a movie since… well ok New Moon, BUT at least it wasn’t screaming at me about global warming!!! In fact I would rather have sat through that crappy movie again than watched this at all. Psh… ok that’s my thoughts for this one. I seen a couple other interesting movies I will post up here but this one… I just HAD to write something now.
