The riot of color here brings to mind what the makers of “Ice Age” delivered with “Rio,” which in turn reminds us that these animators certainly aren’t just one-trick talents. Could be time for them to show us some new ones.
Parents will nap, some kids will be amused, and the nerdiest viewers will have good reason to point out flaws in the movie’s not-so-intelligent designs.
Even by the standards of animation, the logic fails here are impressive. But the bigger problem is the lack of charm, focus and original storytelling as the animals suddenly have to save the world instead of just surviving it.
The series is already off the track but it's still a great **** Age : Collision Course is a great animation movie that would make the series come back-to-life, though the story of the movie is quite predictable.
This time the trouble comes finding them.
It was handed over to the two new directors and the result is not so good. This is a most simplest film in the 'Ice Age' series. For the first time, the franchise is in real trouble. Though it managed well at the box office, which is a below par compared to the previous installments. It looks like a short film or it should have been a short film. From the adventures to the locations, everything shrunk in this sequel. Except Scrat, who goes for a lifetime journey into the outer space.
As usual the story continued, but this time Manny and his family and friends do not go anywhere, the trouble comes to them. So they have to find a solution to escape from it. At the right rime, Buck returns from the underground and teams up with his old friends to tackle the situation. Besides, Peaches getting married and all the fun adventures from the earth, as well as from the space in the solar system aims at one direction.
Nowadays the space adventure is a big thing in films, and this franchise always extents its boundary for its new sequels, so this time it was something bigger than ever. I think it won't get bigger than this in a concept wise. Particularly Scrat who has been the backbone for this series donned with a spacesuit. Like Minions and Penguins, I too want Scrat's stand alone film. But I think that would not happen, not anytime soon, since those two films did not deliver the expected result.
If you are an 'Ice Age' series fan or not, it does not matter, you will be slightly get disappointed for sure. Now it has overtaken the 'Shrek' franchise with this fifth film and they are already thinking about the sixth. This is not that bad, just a watchable average film and you need to be updated if you want to continue the series in the future. So that's the reason I suggest to watch this. Other than that, it is totally ignorable one.
5.5/10
I have no clue why the newest Ice Age has such a low rating. First of all let's make things clear. This is a animation mainly for kids... There are in fact some situation which also will be funny for adults but remember - It's for kids! I have to agree that the first releases were more entertaining and simply more fun to watch, but this one is definitely NOT BAD. I also agree that there might be too many characters and not all of them are making you laugh or smile, but still - watching (and hearing!:D) Sid and our favorite squirrel makes us feeling good again. If you have some spare time and other movies seem not so interesting for you you could give this one a chance, especially if you have kids.
It just makes no sense that they have made 6 FILMS ,when they only needed 3, on the same franchise. Whether Blue Sky made the 6th movie is not important, WHY DID THEY CONTINUE PAST DOTD!? There was no point, and the movies get even worse with time. And guess what? They didn’t even make this movie nearly as much of a financial success as the previous 2 instalments and they bothered only with money. Luckily, Blue Sky never made a movie like it again, but unfortunately, they never even made any movies after 2019/20.
