Forget that the acting is awful, the writing is formulaic and heavy handed...and forget that the main characters are an extremely poor rip off of Aliens, I think what bugged me the most about this movie is that I could never suspend disbelief enough to even enjoy it as a bad movie.
OK, so it's supposed to be this post apocalyptic Earth that is now in a nuclear winter type ice age right? So in one scene they show a guy plunge his arm into a hole in the ice into the freezing water below, he has it submerged maybe 10 secs, when he pulls it out it's frozen rock hard and they need to use this little techno nonsense device to quickly thaw him out. So we're to believe that this specific water is somehow able to approach the temp of liquid nitrogen yet still remain liquid...uh what?
Then literally 15 mins later they're trekking thru an ice storm looking for shelter, they've got all the high tech gear on yet none of them have their faces covered, they all have exposed skin. Hell, I've been on ski hills where you can get frostbite in a couple mins leaving skin exposed, especially with wind chill, but apparently in this frozen wasteland where water is super crazy cold, that doesn't matter.
