In "Ice Age: The Meltdown," our sub-zero heroes from the worldwide blockbuster CGI film "Ice Age" are back -- Manny the woolly mammoth, Sid the sloth, Diego the saber-toothed tiger and the hapless sab...( read more  read more... )er-toothed squirrel known as Scrat. In the new film, from the Academy Award winning creators of "Ice Age" and "Robots." the Ice Age is coming to an end, and the animals are delighting in the melting paradise that is their new world. Manny, Sid, and Diego quickly learn that the warming climate has one major drawback: a huge glacial dam is about to break, threatening the entire valley. The only chance of survival lies at the other end of the valley. So our three heroes, along with a mammoth named Ellie (Queen Latifah) and her two 'brothers' -- possums Crash and Eddie -- embark on a mission across an increasingly dangerous landscape towards their salvation.

    More funnier & edgier than the first movie.
  • October 1, 2009
    An irritatingly inferior sequel. Shame.

    I thought it would be way better, disappointing.

    I watched this on Christmas day with my 9 year old nephew. It didn't do anything for me but he sure loved it!
  • October 24, 2008
    Definitely as good as the first, with new and old characters, this movie is a great watch for both kids and adults alike.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

The film feels visually richer than its predecessor, but has the same brand of uncomplicated all-ages charm. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

Ice Age: The Meltdown crosses familiar territory but does so with exceeding sweetness and no shortage of visual imagination, bolstering what is, in essence, a fairly simplistic road movie with an eco-... full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Ice Age: The Meltdown is pure sequel product that should make children and undemanding grown-ups happy even as it lacks anything resembling storytelling inspiration. full review

March 30, 2006
Claudia Puig, USA Today

With its appealing combination of humor and endearing characters -- many of whom are back from the first film -- it is at least as good as the original Ice Age, and possibly better. full review

March 30, 2006
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The first Ice Age movie more or less exhausted these characters and their world, and the meltdown doesn't add much. full review

    The first movie was the best out of the two, even though this one was still good.
    However I feel as if the characters/plotline was too humanised for my taste, whereas they had the natural separation of humans and animals in the first film. I definitely preferred/liked that.
    I felt there was a little too much of Scrat the squirrel, but also wished that they'd integrated him into the storyline, like they'd done in the prequel.
