Description of Ice Age - The Meltdown [Blu-ray]:
The love life of a woolly mammoth--handled with G-rated delicacy--drives this sequel to the first computer-animated romp in the age of prehistoric mammals. While the first Ice Age took a delightful premise and suffocated it with a formulaic plot--in which a mammoth named Manfred (voiced by Ray Romano, Everyone Loves Raymond), a sloth named Sid (John Leguizamo, Moulin Rouge!), and a sabre-tooth tiger named Diego (Denis Leary, Rescue Me) helped an abandoned human infant return to its tribe (basically, Three Mammals and a Baby)--the sequel takes the now-familiar setting, gives it a shapeless, episodic storyline, and yet somehow becomes pretty darn entertaining. Faced with the threat of a flood from melting ice, our heroic trio are on the run to escape from their blossoming valley. On the way, they meet a female mammoth (Queen Latifah, Bringing Down the House) who thinks she's an opossum and get menaced by some freshly defrosted carnivo! rous fish. Add into the mix a herd of lava-worshipping mini-sloths, some Busby Berkeley-style vultures, and more ingenious slapstick featuring the acorn-crazed Scrat, and Ice Age: The Meltdown will amuse even jaded adults. -- Bret Fetzer

Ice Age - The Meltdown [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Made a long plane ride fun!
2008-07-06 - On a long 17 hour plane ride to Rome this was one of the available in flight movies. I had not seen Ice Age 1, but I watched all of the available films because I had plenty of time! I enjoyed this film so much, when I got home I bought the first one immediately! The characters are fantastic and the actors they chose to voice this film are simply amazing! What a perfect cast! I really enjoyed this story. I had no idea how this gang of animals came together (you learn that in part 1) but I really enjoyed them, they are so different and make hodge podge of a family that is just a joy to watch. The little guy who chases the acorn is hilarious and a nice break. I'm looking forward to the next one!

Ice Age
2008-06-18 - I love, love, love this movie. I laughed so hard the first time I watched it. John Leguizamo is so funny as the voice of Syd the Sloth. Ray Ramono was great as the voice of Manny. Great kid movie, or for the whole family.

Great graphics, very nice resolution. Shows Blu-Ray well.
2008-06-09 - Contrary to the first Ice Age, this version has much improved Computer Graphics capabilities, and you can see the details in the hairs, feathers, and even teh forests, lakes and glaciers. It is a great showdown for BluRay capabilities, and it's a world of difference from the standard res DVD.
Worth the extra cost. My son was glued to the screen the moment I put it on. Although he's only 4 1/2 he did notice something was very different with this movie. Also the 5.1 recording and mixing is very well done.

Good, not Great
2008-04-28 - While I still want to see the first Ice Age, having seen the second one first, I must say I am not so impressed with what the media and friends have said. Don't get me wrong, this was surely an enjoyable movie, however it simply did not meet my expectations.

The whole film is a retreat from melting ice. Since the characters live in a sort-of-bowl, they have to escape from it to survive an inevitable rush of water. Their journey is to a boat made from what appears to be a giant tree. I have to admit, as I look back at this film a few days after having seen it, I must say that the general plotline is not so exciting. However, the interesting characters met along the way are delightful and bring this movie some life. This is not to say that the main characters were lifeless. In fact, they all had unique and interesting personalites.

I guess after seeing "Flushed Away" I just have a gneral feeling that "Ice Age: The Meltdown" was good, but not as good as "Flushed Away".

love it, great movie
2008-04-06 - Good for all ages, funny and great animation, the kids like and the adults do too!
