It may be a slight entertainment in the grand scheme of things, but it’s been made with a busy, nattering joy that is positively infectious Read full review

Like the very asteroid that is hurtling toward Earth in the movie, Ice Age: Collision Course is chunky, clunky and bulky. Unlike the asteroid, the film seems to move at a glacial pace. Read full review

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. Read full review

More Pegg, please. Less of everything else. But then, it’s too late for that. “Collision Course” is already a bomb. Read full review

There’s plenty of fart jokes, forward motion and bright colors to engage easily-entertained children, but their parents will be subjected to yet another movie that has all the zing of watching evolution in real time. Read full review

The series is already off the track but it's still a great movie.Ice 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.

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.

Impressive visuals? Yes. Cartoony and stupid? Also yes. I like Ice Age movies, but Collision Course really wasn't that great. At least it was better than The Secret Life of Pets.

It follows the acorn-addicted squirrel Scrat in his epic pursuit that launches himself to the universe, setting a series of unfortunate cosmic events, leading to threaten the mammals of the Ice Age world.

To serve as the earth's last hope, our mammal squad must embark on an adventure that leads them in discovering scientific theories and introduction to a bunch of way too many characters, all of whom are either under-written, half-baked, useless or even quite annoying for some parts. There are a lot of physical humor, conventional yet colorful animation and themes of love for the family, that kids would at least probably enjoy.

As a science-fiction flick, "Collision Course" ultimately suffers from its unbelievably hyperactive and exaggerated premise. Also, the third act seems to be rushed and forced with a twist that feels out of place.

VERDICT: What we totally get from Ice Age: Collision Course is included in its tagline: One Giant Mess.… Expand

Why? Just...why? You know what happened to the Ice age franchise? It melted!

Horrible, just horrible! Too much comedy, its like they're making fun of what was actually meant to be interesting back then! So here's what i want to say about all the Ice age movies! Only the first two ones have actually something to do with the franchise! Bringing the Dinosaurs back from the dead?Well... strange but was fun. Jungle pirates and mamoths dancing to dubstep? Wtf?! And now... a **** squirrel who travels to space and sends asteroids to Earth?!...Okay, enough.… Expand

This installment of the franchise was one that proved that Ice Age should have ended at the third movie. The story is so predictable, you can guess how it ends just watching the trailer alone.

The story is so predictable, you can guess how it ends just watching the trailer alone. They focus way too much on the humor, and I mean WAY TOO MUCH TIME. I'm not joking, there are about 10 characters attempting to be the comic relief. And the funny thing is, none of them are funny. Maybe a small chuckle came out because of Buck, but everyone else relies on their idiocy, moving around like they're in a Sony Pictures Animation movie, or just making bad puns. However, even if it is Blue Sky's worst film, it doesn't mean it can't offer anything good. To its credit, the end song is really good, the animation is stunning, especially in Geotopia, and I'll admit it, Scrat is kind of funny. Just not as much as the previous films. But they can't make the film anywhere near passable. And word on the street is they're thinking about making a SIXTH ICE AGE MOVIE! Why can't they make more films like The Peanuts Movie, or even Horton Hears a Who?… Expand
