And I have some questions:
Is it possible that such an instant-freeze effect could happen?
I mean, I know that in a tornado, the air pressure is dripping and so cold air is rushing from the high atmosphere down to the water surface, causing the warm water to go up and heat the air, which again causes cold air to drop, and all this evetually causing a stable tornado to form in warm tropical areas.
But how can such an effect be created over land, where there are no warm water to go up and cause more cold air to go down?
And how can such a system, which only brings cold air from above but do not take heat from the surface, be stable?
This is simply impossible!

aww shoot, that's out already?
**leaves to go bug daddy til he takes me to see it**

good movie, good movie, saw it yesterday, and i loved it! good movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since we had an ice age once, its possible, I'd guess, for a flash freeze effect to occur, and if one of the major factors of the earth's relatively stable climate were affected dramatically, other phenomenon could occur, but I doubt the lead-in or build up to it would be quite so rapid and go undetected, and I personally think it would take more than one thing being affected, as we still don't have absolute knoweldge of WHAT happened during the prehistoric periods, ice age, etc.

I was sorta dragged against my will (a friend paid) to the movie - I'm just not one on disaster flicks, they don't interest me in the least, though it wasn't bad, and the effects were pretty good. I was surprised to see it was "based on the book, The Coming Global Superstorm by Whitley Streiber and Art Bell" - I had recently listened to some of Art's shameless shilling and Whitley's "abductee/contactee" global warning rhetoric, but didn't know this movie was based on it, though I had beforehand though "oh great, another movie trying to cash in on this".

I really liked it appart from when all the people in Glasgow, Scotland started saying 'For England' just before they die

... Thats like Canadians toasting the US or the US toasting Canada, just before they die!! It just doesn't happen!

you think the instant freezing was unbelievable?

what about the RUNNING AWAY FROM COLD AIR!!

caman. loved it tho.

I always cringe when I hear those clichéd over the top ‘British’ accents in films, but I thought the movie was entertaining barring the rather anti-climatic ending. Good to see Adrian Lester from Hustle in there too, making his film debut.

Was I the only one to spot the blatant rip in the opening sequence to the opening in Ice Age.
