A friend of mine found this movie in the 49 Baht (US$ 1.70) bargain bin at the local big-box mart... and that's about all this atrocity was worth.
Disaster movies, but definition are cliché, but at least movies like "Day After Tomorrow" have a budget, some scientific merit and decent acting. The cliché here is the scientist who no one believes, and his quest to save his family by locking them into a pressure-locked laboratory to ride out a nasty cold spell.
Even a movie with a budget as low as this one had, they could have at least concocted a more plausible weather scenario. We all know movies of this nature are rife with scientific inaccuracies, but this was just ridiculous in its hilarity. I won't go into the details on how the earth's magnetic poles do not govern climate, or how absolute zero (0°K) causes all molecular activity to stop, hence turning all liquids and gasses solid, or how the temperature of 0°K has not been attained naturally in the known universe or in a lab. The producers of this dreck could not even consult a scientist - or at least a 5th-grader before coming up with such a scenario? My concern is that there are people out there that watch a movie like this, and believe the science is true.
Nevertheless, after the first five minutes of this movie, I realized why it cost what it cost, and turned in to "comedy" mode, pretending that the mistakes, bad acting and horrible special effects were intentional. Having done that, I enjoyed watching the movie just to see how many things I could find wrong with it. It was like a bad car accident - you know it's gruesome, but you can't turn away.
