"100 Degrees Below Zero" is one of the latest Sci-Fi disaster flicks released by The Asylum production company. They are best known for disaster movies, such as, "500mph Storm," and "Super Cyclone." (source: www.imdb.com/title/tt2538128/)

100 Degrees Below Zero is a chiller of a movie. After a volcano in Iceland erupts, it sends an ash cloud into the atmosphere. The ash cloud collides with a "freak" storm, causing the climate to turn colder. Several volcanoes in Europe begin to erupt, and the continent is plagued with large earthquakes. The climate in Europe begins to deteriorate and temperatures nose dive to well below zero. Snow falls all over Europe, and ice cyclones destroy the Eiffel tower.
A man from America and his new wife are eager to reunite with his children in Paris. However, with conditions turning dangerous, the journey becomes a race against time. Will mother nature prevent this family from reuniting?
Those who know me know how much I love disaster movies. The storyline was consistent. However, the acting was sub par. At certain points of the movie, the acting was cringe-worthy. The camera was shaky. It almost gave you the feeling that 16 year old "Dawson Leery," from "Dawson's Creek," was filming it with his camcorder. Actually, he probably would have done a better job at filming the movie.

There weren't any "A-list" stars in the movie, but, if you like indie flicks, or made-for-tv movies, you may know who Jeff Fahey is. John-Rhys Davies also stars in the movie. If you are a seasoned Sci-Fi disaster movie fan like me, you may also recognize Sara Malakul Lane.

Anyways, if you can let the sub par acting and rookie filming mistakes slide, you might actually like the movie. Like I said, it was a pretty good storyline.
