100 things we learned from Age of Ice


1: If the co-pilot dies while getting out of the plane, no one cares or even mentions it.
2: If your daughter is "getting worse" and "needs immediate medical attention" she will be fine as soon as you stand her up.
3: Special effects can me made REALLY cheap... or at least we all hope they were cheap.
4: When climbing down a cliffside on a wire, the cliff will look like pure snow from afar but pure dirt from up close.
5: A man with a wife and 2 kids will need to hug his son and wife frequently, when in peril, but he is content that his daughter is curling up with a total stranger, no need to check on her or even look at her.
6: Actually filming from inside of a fighter plane's cockpit in the beginning of a movie is cheating, since it will lead the audience to believe this level of effects will be there throughout the rest of the movie.
7: At no point were anyone actually fooled to believe they were in Egypt, which can be an acomplishment in itself.
8: Bailey Spry is cute but couldn't save this movie.
9: Snow in "Egypt" apparently looks like big chunks of polysterene and plastic.
10: Having a scene where a dark beauty looks at Bailey/Amber in the car, for a long cute-face moment, doesn't save the movie but makes it longer.
11: When you drive and face a cliff, never bother to see if you can go around it by car, just leave the car and go on foot... after all, the shortest route between two points is a straight line.
12: Pilots in a big plane can see tiny mobile phone lights on the ground, even in snow.

13. Even though water freezes instantly (the water falling from the dam), they are still fine walking around with exposed skin.
14. And for the few that are wearing gloves. WhereTF did they find gloves in EGYPT? Work gloves...I could see....but winter gloves?
15. Walking 50 feet through a cave will take you out of the arctic area and onto a beach.
16. If you aren't part of the main cast, you are going to die.
17. The scene in which "a dark beauty looks at Bailey/Amber in the car, for a long cute-face moment" may be long, but is nothing compared to the time wasted watching 5 people go down the side of a hill on a cable. A hill they could have just driven around as proven 15 minutes later in the film. than god for smart phones!
18. You can be in shock but instantly cured when the missing boy is found. Also, the daughter's shoulder is cured at the end, too. One can't one of my boys have this super power?
19. Every woman fleeing to the airport is wearing purple.
20. A dusting of snow on the tarmac and the airplanes makes them crash.
21. Egypt has a lot of trees.

17: I fast forwarded that part with the cable, it was agonizingly long! :D

22. US Airways flies to Cairo even though they really don't.

23. It's super smart and safe to roll down a 500 foot high pyramid.

24. It's appropriate behavior to laugh when standing at the base of a 300 ft tall dam as it's cracking to pieces.

25) snow under a blue sky



Smoke me a kipper. I'll be back for breakfast

1. Egyptian tour guides look like south Asians
2. Anubis tours translates in Arabic to anubis rounds
3. Arabic signs in Egypt are written from left to right (Arabic is right to left) and the letters are d e t a r a p e s (separated).
4. All airplanes in Cairo are American Airlines single aisle that can't reach the US
5. Trains from Cairo all go to Italy
6.Egyptian taxi drivers keep on repeating the same phrase over and over while addressing a female like you address a male.
7. Jordanian C130's are available whenever minister of defense sin is on vacation to rescue him.  It can get from Amman to Cairo in 20 minutes?
8. The Jordanian pilot reports to the American father rather than the Jordanian vip
9. The copilot didn't bother jump out of the plane
10. Dillan fell off a train, almost drowned in icy water, disappeared in a volcano, rolled down a pyramid, almost gets blown up...someone must put some reigns on the boy
11. When sliding down a snowy super steep hill, you reach the bottom very slowly with no injuries, no scares...
12. It's a good idea in this scenario to trash the only first aid kit you have
13. Arab man who finds them speaks *beep* non-Egyptian Arabic. The Egyptian lady speaks lebanese Arabic.
14. The Jordanian vip can't speak Arabic
15. You can avoid giant hail and it stops when you have an accident
16. Dillan wants to switch cars in a hall storm to ride with the captain
17. You have to go outside the trick to see in the distance
18. Extreme snowing still allows you to recognize natural landmarks from phone maps
19. When someone is rappelling from a car tow cable, it's a good idea for the man to hold the cable rather than use the machine.  The cable will remain loose
20. If you are upset with your son cursing, it would be good parenting if you curse all the time
21. It's a good idea to stay right in front of a crumbling dam and laughing about it
22. I started this list 26 minutes into the movie, I knew this was that kind of movie.  Can I make it to 100?
23. You can easily climb an icy ridge
24. ...but you will be swallowed by a tornado!
25. It's a great idea to slide down an underground river in what might be a volcano
26. I'm hoping that no one survives this movie
27. Military paramedic seats makeup in emergency situations
28. Dillan can heal shock!
29. Jordanian military have no concern on what happens to anyone except the Jordanian VIP
30. The movie finished with only 30 of these.  That was horrible!

Sorry for the sequence but I really started this while watching...I was bored!

I feel yer pain mate ! Fortunately I was working on my computer while this was on TV, so I escaped the worse. But thanks, I felt there was something wrong with the arabic spoken, but my knowledge of the language is unfortunately not good enough to put a name on it (I gather it's your native or second language ?) Too bad those stuff are usually dubbed version, I'd like to see one where they try MY native language. That might be a blast. Or not…

reply

Arabic is never good in movies. They think no Arabs watch them. I reviewed my last... a 100 typos! Lol
