Its a rather poor film, quickly shot, below average special effects and some bad science. Victor Garber lends respectability as the Colonel trying to locate Fehr. The mountain is releasing sub zero methane gas via earthquakes which causes avalanches placing nearby towns in danger.īrendan Fehr is up in the mountains with his family looking for Christmas trees but ends up battling for survival as ice geysers spew and quakes occur unleashing avalanches leading him to deal with various problems. Two geologists (one dressed as Santa) investigate tremors on a mountain when a deep crack appears with some shimmering effects indicating some kind of gas escaping which freezes one of the geologist jumping over the crack. Ice Quake is another SyFy Channel film so as always keep expectations low. You do not have to pay close attention to grasp the plot. This is the kind of film you can enjoy with a friend, a beer and a pizza. It is not award-winning, it is not the best film of the year (or even the month). I would still recommend this… to a point. So you have to give a little bit of credit to Fehr and co-stars for picking up the characters quickly, knowing the lines, working against events that are not really there… and not getting paid much to do it. Methane apparently does not dissipate after causing cracks to the surface and can be directed by explosions…Īs far as preparation, Brendan Fehr explains, “We have about two weeks max and usually about a week before the whole thing gets rolling.” So it is a very quick process from landing a role to filming.

That being said, it has some questionable aspects.

I see too many films that take themselves seriously and just end up being boring (most recent example - “Don’t Let Him In”). I appreciate that they seem to know the film will be cheesy and try not to make it more than it is. But I want to say that despite all the bad things, it was still enjoyable and used far less CGI than typically seen in a SyFy film. I could make lots of complaints about this film (and will shortly). They seem to be moving, and if not stopped could cause great peril for the families on Christmas. Geysers of ice are erupting in Alaska near the city of Fairbanks.
