A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Gripping science fiction film that doesn't let go until the stunning climax. Jack Coleman gives one of his finest performances as the one person that can stop the horror of a polar storm that threatens human life. With surprisingly good special effects and a script that is both intelligent and insightful, this film offers a plausible scenario where the terror depicted brings out the best and worst in humanity. The tension builds and the suspense becomes unendurable as the film's story takes us on a spectacular thrill ride. Let the audience judge if this motion picture is actually a cautionary tale regarding global warming but the suggestion is hard to ignore.

A piece from the passing comet Copernicus hits the Earth and causes the planet to go off of its axis. This in turn unleashes all kinds of lethal disasters that will bring about the end of the world. It's up to scientist Dr. James Mayfield (a fine and likable performance by Jack Coleman) to realign the Earth's axis before it's too late. Writer/director Paul Ziller relates the engrossing story at a brisk pace, maintains a serious tone throughout, grounds the fantastic premise in a believable everyday reality, generates a good deal of tension, handles the dramatic scenes in a tasteful and restrained manner, and delivers several nifty mondo destructo moments. The solid acting by the capable cast keeps the movie on track: Holly Dignard as Jack's no-nonsense science teacher wife Cynthia, Tyler Johnston as Jack's sullen teen son Shane, Terry David Mulligan as Jack's hard-nosed father General Mayfield, Roger R. Cross as the pragmatic President, David Lewis as chipper TV reporter Lo Vanetti, and Emma Lahana as the perky Zoe. The CGI effects are decent and acceptable. Michael Richard Plowman's spirited score hits the stirring spot. The slick cinematography by Mahlon Todd Williams gives the picture a pleasing crisp look. A fun flick.

I do dislike a vast majority of SyFy's films, though in all honesty I don't revel in tarnishing them no matter how much some of them deserve it. Polar Storm is not their worst, either The Apocalypse or Alien vs. Hunter, but it is down there. Visually, it looks alright at first, but then from the half-way mark to the end, the special effects look slapdash and done with no heart and the editing becomes increasingly half-hearted. The story is another problem, for its running time like I've said with a few SyFy movies it is very thin and the ending feels like a farce more than anything else and a very predictable one at that. The script is trite complete with illogical lapses and scientific factual errors, and the characters are clichéd and I didn't care for any of them, and my guess is the actors didn't either. And the acting was so wooden from across the board. Overall, as much as I liked the theme that they tried to tackle, Polar Storm is a mess. 1/10 Bethany Cox

which made me laugh all the way through - which I doubt was one of the Producers' intentions.The Budget for POLAR STORM is Low, but then again being an SYFY channel production you have to expect that, but the FX are very poor by 2010 standards.What made me laugh all the way through is the appalling dialogue - which is unintentionally hilarious, The acting is only adequate at best, the plot holes are many and there is very few people actually in the Film - ALL expense spared on extras it seems.The 'star' of the film is Jack Coleman (No - I haven't heard of him either) although he will be known to fans of NBC's drama HEROES.Written and Directed by Paul Ziller who has made dozens of B-Movies - none of which I have seen or now intend to see given how rubbish POLAR STORM turned out to be, even with my very low expectations.BUT, having said all that - POLAR STORM was still cheesy enough to be just about watchable.
