Gordon M Scientists discover something they weren't expecting, and now they have to deal with the consequences. In so doing, they discover a humanity that they've ignored, buried, and transformed until it is unrecognizable. Taken on a metaphorical level or just enjoyed for what it is, the film provides that emotional satisfaction brought from connecting with an ancient past. I didn't think it would be possible to make something like this. But they did, and it is a beautiful thing.

Maybe it's just my nostalgia talking, but I always thought it was great. Watched it several times in the 80s. Looking to find a place to stream it free right now. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Leonardo F Beautiful movie and very emotional. The settings, the photography, the performances and the music, everything is a perfect combination that fills the senses and brings us a sad story of this prehistoric man and his encounter with the current world. Pure cinema, Recommended! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Cork B Has a great premise, but the execution is lacking. There is a bunch of extraneous science stuff thrown in for effect that is just dumb - teams of scientists monitoring a 40k yo corpse for vitals? Yelling at each other like this is Stargate? yikes. The movie moves glacially slow (pun intended), and the iceman acts exactly like an anthropology textbook from 1984 would suggest he should act. On the up side, it has its cerebral moments, and the acting and filming is decent. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review matthias s "Iceman" had all the ingredients for a chilling cinematic experience but somehow managed to leave me cold. The film boasts well-acted performances that add depth to its intriguing concept. The idea of a thawed-out caveman in modern times is undeniably captivating. However, "Iceman" squandered numerous opportunities to explore its premise fully. The plot seemed to meander, with many missed chances to delve into the cultural clashes and fish-out-of-water comedy potential. Instead, the film often plodded along at a glacial pace, leaving me checking my watch. Despite its commendable performances, I couldn't help but feel bored by the time the credits rolled. The potential for humor and social commentary in this unusual scenario was largely untapped, and the movie left me yearning for more excitement and engagement. "Iceman" could have been a frozen gem, but it sadly melted away into mediocrity.
