Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Ice Age the Meltdown: Passes Time Mostly Painlessly Comment: This movie has almost everything a good children's movie should have: nice visuals, memorable characters, life-lessons, and some humor. What it doesn't have is much of a story. The visuals are padded to make up for the lack of dialogue and suspense, and there are only so many CG-drawn images you can look at of ice-glaciers and marching animals before they lose their appeal. The story is very weak, and could have been told over 45 minutes. The children I was with all enjoyed the movie, but not one of them enjoyed it more than the original. Customer Rating: Summary: Made a long plane ride fun! Comment: On a long 17 hour plane ride to Rome this was one of the available in flight movies. I had not seen Ice Age 1, but I watched all of the available films because I had plenty of time! I enjoyed this film so much, when I got home I bought the first one immediately! The characters are fantastic and the actors they chose to voice this film are simply amazing! What a perfect cast! I really enjoyed this story. I had no idea how this gang of animals came together (you learn that in part 1) but I really enjoyed them, they are so different and make hodge podge of a family that is just a joy to watch. The little guy who chases the acorn is hilarious and a nice break. I'm looking forward to the next one! Customer Rating: Summary: Ice Age Comment: I love, love, love this movie. I laughed so hard the first time I watched it. John Leguizamo is so funny as the voice of Syd the Sloth. Ray Ramono was great as the voice of Manny. Great kid movie, or for the whole family. Customer Rating: Summary: Great graphics, very nice resolution. Shows Blu-Ray well. Comment: Contrary to the first Ice Age, this version has much improved Computer Graphics capabilities, and you can see the details in the hairs, feathers, and even teh forests, lakes and glaciers. It is a great showdown for BluRay capabilities, and it's a world of difference from the standard res DVD. Worth the extra cost. My son was glued to the screen the moment I put it on. Although he's only 4 1/2 he did notice something was very different with this movie. Also the 5.1 recording and mixing is very well done. Customer Rating: Summary: Good, not Great Comment: While I still want to see the first Ice Age, having seen the second one first, I must say I am not so impressed with what the media and friends have said. Don't get me wrong, this was surely an enjoyable movie, however it simply did not meet my expectations. The whole film is a retreat from melting ice. Since the characters live in a sort-of-bowl, they have to escape from it to survive an inevitable rush of water. Their journey is to a boat made from what appears to be a giant tree. I have to admit, as I look back at this film a few days after having seen it, I must say that the general plotline is not so exciting. However, the interesting characters met along the way are delightful and bring this movie some life. This is not to say that the main characters were lifeless. In fact, they all had unique and interesting personalites. I guess after seeing "Flushed Away" I just have a gneral feeling that "Ice Age: The Meltdown" was good, but not as good as "Flushed Away".
