100 degrees below zero, directed by R.D. Braunstein, is a low budget film and you can notice. Through-out the film you notice that when they are going up the Eiffel tower in the middle of a very, very bad snow storm you can see on the ground there is no snow and there is free-flowing traffic. The film is very unrealistic for instance when there is an earthquake the way the actors fall looks fake.
The story line is about a father who has just got married is trying to reach his teenage son and daughter who have been studying in Paris. But there is a problem, a volcanic eruption in Iceland has caused a series of other eruptions and earthquakes across Europe. This results in there being so much ash in the air that there is a modern ICE AGE… With the help of a few friends along the way, they try to reach an military base, which will enable them to escape in a cargo plane to Australia. Will they get there in time?
This film is quite good and over all I would give it a 8/10.
