Ice Age: Collision Course Movie Review

How can you not love the immensely talkative twin possums Crash and Eddie, who you met when they thought they were mammoths? They're on the big screen again! Louder, funnier and they rule the action because, 'We have superpowers!'

The search for a safe place for the acorn has resulted in a gigantic meteor rushing towards Earth: The end is coming!

Manny and Ellie are just learning to deal with baby Peaches (now all grown up), and her boyfriend Julian. Diego and Shira and Sid and the usual gang is there, when the pretty meteor showers turn deadly.

They need to find shelter and soon! Their journey and their quest to save themselves and the whole planet makes for a very engaging 94 minutes long tale.

This

movie will make grown ups feel exhausted. There is not a single Manny and Ellie moment of trunks touching to make a heart, no moment of peace under the night sky with Diego keeping watch, no fear inspiring pirates... The art of animation has become so sophisticated that you have come to expect faultless rendering of characters and action. There is so much color and action that the kids will love the Shangri Llama (yes! That's the name!) and the madness of Eddie and Crash. As a grown up watching the movie, I loved the science used here, the many movie references and the best part of all, Buck singing 'Figaro'. Very smartly done, but as they said in an ad once, 'The magic is gone!'
