"Ice Queen" is an enjoyable and entertaining entry without much wrong with it.**SPOILERS**Attacking a military transport, Dr. Goddard, (Daniel Hall Kuhn) manages to recover the Ice Queen, (Ami Chorlton) a specially-preserved woman from the Ice Age. Working at the nearby Snowshed Lodge Ski Resort, Johnny, (Harmon Walsh) and his friends Devlin, (Peter Wyndorf) and Jessie, (Demone Gore) manage to spot the creature's transport plane crash-landing nearby while finishing work for the resort, and it soon traps them together with his fiancée Tori, (Noelle Reno) Audrey, (Tara Walden) and Elaine, (Jennifer Hill) other workers at the resort. With most of the area destroyed in the resulting avalanche, they try to find a way out of the situation, only to realize the reanimated creature is loose on the property and killing them off one-by-one, forcing them into a race for survival against the deadly creature.The Good News: This was a fairly enjoyable and entertaining entry. One of the better features is that the film is far more accomplished with it's big action scenes. This one has several of them in here, and all of them are very good and really fun. The start of it, with the attack on the military transport being quite fun. There's a lot of fantastic action, with some nice gunfights, a great crash that leads into some nice explosions, and throw in a helicopter attack as well as the mystery over what's going on, and in the end it becomes rather fun and exciting. There's also two big skiing scenes that also serve rather well. The first is a rather exciting chase from a resulting avalanche through the valley and finally getting trapped by the rush of snow out on the course, which is a pretty thrilling scene and comes in the middle of nowhere and has no real horrific parts about it, making it work even more. The biggest one, and what is perhaps the highlight of the film, is the second one, which is the crash that sets the whole thing motion. It's a simply spectacular scene, and is far better than what is normally held in these kinds of films, which is where the main impression comes from. Having a scene like this isn't in many other films, so to watch it unfold as it does is a spectacular sight. The best part of it is the length, as there's a lot of stuff in here to get excited over in a five minute extended action sequence. From the crash into the snowbank that sets off the events, to the site of the never-ending snow crashing down and forcing the witnesses into a thrilling chase down the mountain all the way to the way it crashes into the station at the bottom, causing just a ton of damage to everything and forcing it all into a realistic scene by trying to get away from the damage caused. It's exciting and incredibly fast-paced, with a lot of damage and destruction caused to the building and making it all into an exciting and perfectly-placed sequence. There's even more action in here from the multiple encounters with the creature in the hallways to the frenetic moments at the end where the creature is attacking them through the buildings. The look of the creature is pretty good as well, with the fangs, snarled look, blood-red eyes and wild hair make a lasting impression, and the behavior issues put on display do serve the film well. There's even some nice blood and gore in here, what with the wounds from the survivors, scratches across the face, a great impaling through the stomach with a clawed hand and an arm ripped off, though this is far from what should've been in the film. Add in some nice nudity from those well-off to deliver it and an effectively creepy atmosphere, this one was pretty entertaining.The Bad News: There wasn't too many flaws in this one. One of the most noticeable flaws is that the film tends to move along very steadily during it's middle portion. After the plane has crashed, it takes a long time for the film to even get over to the creature and make it out into the slash-fest it eventually becomes, leaving a lot of time to feel quite dull. It never really feels quite as dull or boring as it should've been, because it does stay interesting, but it just doesn't have any big action scenes during that time to keep the momentum going after the incredibly exciting sequences that came before it. The other flaw is the film's rather bland and mostly-bloodless kills. The low body-count notwithstanding, the very few kills here aren't that bloody when initially done and feel more like it's aftermath is the main thing that makes it feel graphic, but when it actually transpires and plays out at the time, it really doesn't have much and really could've used some more, as that would've made it feel a little more complete. These here are what's wrong with the film.The Final Verdict: While not featuring much of anything too wrong, the few minor flaws don't diminish how outright entertaining this one is. Recommended to those who enjoy these B-level kind of movies or who find this one interesting, while those who aren't fans of the style should heed caution.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a mild Sex Scene

I don't even think that this movie should deserve 1 star. I wish they gave the choice of .5 rating. anyway, the movies plot has less substance than a 1st graders creative writing paper. It is horrendous. I've seen better acting by Steven seagal. He would have made this movie at least a 2/10. The worst part I think was the special effects, I mean this movie was made in 2005 and uses TOY cars and fake model houses and power poles in avalanche scenes. The ICE QUEENs costume looks like a spandex suit from the consignment shop, covered in rubber tubes and grey spray paint. I estimate the budget of this movie was probably between 500-1000 dollars including the actors they picked up from the unemployment office. HORRIBLE, not worth paying for. though I did laugh from time to time, so if you can watch it for free and want a good laugh by making fun of all the goofs, then I recommend it.

Watched the movie through my free pay-per-view cable subscription. I would have definitely not purchased this movie. I needed to kill about 1 1/2 have hours but was only was able to stomach about 3/4 of the movie. Special effects were like 1950's Godzilla. The movie viewers were intoduced to the monster during a sequence where a poor copy of a Cobra Gun Ship helicopter, attacked a military convoy carrying the monster in a 55 gallon drum. Why was the military transporting an archaeological find? Why Am I so concerned by this? The acting in this movie was similar to low budget B movies. Got a big laugh when my son compared the ICE QUEEN Monster to BeetleJuice. The monster, to me, looked like a combination of BeetleJuice and the Monster from SPECIES. There was a little entertaining T&A but not worthy of the lousy dialog, lack of plot and cheesy special effects. Stay away. Please Stay away.

I honestly don't know where to start when summing up this film. Each actor is had the ability to make me instantly hate them both as an actor and a person. They had as much acting talent as a blind man calling balls and strikes. You could've walked down to the nearest grocery store, picked out five people, and told them to act in this film, It would have had the same effect. The special effects looked like they were done by children who had no hands. There are too many goofs to count and the best actor in the film was the dog, and even he screwed up his lines. The moans of the ice queen were equivalent to having actual ice shoved in your ears over and over. This movie was as convincing as trying to tell someone that the blonde's breasts were real. Never see this movie, period.
