Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com I've always had a soft spot for B-level disaster movies, but Absolute Zero is so silly, so wooden, and so stunningly inert -- I'm kinda surprised it didn't launch a new TV series. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 28, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A low-budget, crappy version of The Day After Tomorrow. Their depiction of the cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis is not believable, and neither is the fact that the star climatologist of the film predicts *to the second* when Miami, FL will reach absolute zero temperatures, or the fact that the climatologist repeatedly outruns the air itself, in spite of pausing for dramatic effect,. There were many other serious issues with believability. The graphics were okay, until the car sequence, wherein a tree flies through the windshield, a tunnel of absolute zero air flies down toward the car, and clouds from the tunnel overturn the car; all of the above was so poorly rendered that it looked like a homemade video. The story and acting also had serious issues. Only two characters, both minor, where at all likeable; the newly widowed and newly orphaned characters seem to forget to grieve their husband/father's death, and when they do remember, they act very wooden; and the villain is completely ridiculous, dumber than the vast majority of Americans and very, very stupid with money (in spite of boasting early in the film that he's *so good* at obtaining a steady income for their lab). The acting is just horrible. Only a couple actors, again playing minor characters, are any good.

So cliché-ridden one wonders if it is pure self-parody. It features the longest swimming pool evacuation ever committed to screen. Bizarre but an oddly entertaining terrible film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member The special effects were...pretty "special" Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was so bad I was embarrassed for the people in it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Truly appalling made for TV movie. However if you're looking for something to cheer you up, the flying palm tree scene is hilarious!
