When Zoe is testing her blood sugars for the first time, she pricks her finger, adds the blood to the strip and then inserts the strip into the meter.
The strips actually need to be inserted into the meter before the blood is added.
In fact the next shot shows the meter flashing the 'Add blood' symbol, to which Zoe looks at the meter and nods as if she is agreeing with the reading.
The premise of the movie is incorrect.
The ozone layer blocks harmful ultraviolet light, which is a very important function to most life on this planet, but is not a barrier preventing the cold of the mesosphere from reaching the ground.
Ozone is an oxygen molecule with three oxygen atoms rather than two, and the photochemical reaction of oxygen to ozone and back is what absorbs the UV wavelength energy.
The ozone layer is between 12 and 19 miles above the earth, but if it were compressed to the atmospheric pressure at sea level, it would only be about 3 millimeters thick.
The danger in a "rift" or hole in the ozone layer is rapid sunburn and possible genetic damage.
During some years there is a hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica; during other years it isn't there, and during yet other years it spans the entire Antarctic.
Im giving it a 5 as I'm only half way through. I saw this on SciFi and thought id give it a go.
I thought the movie overall was entertaining. I thought that Artic Blast flowed well and if you forgive the well attempted special effects and some 'cheezy' acting you will enjoy it.
Since long I haven't seen such a worthless movie! I wondered where they found so many bad actors/actresses.
Literally the worst movie ever made! Dreadful acting, even worse script!
I rarely review films, but that was so dreadful it deserved a moment of my time (even though I had just wasted 90 minutes of my time watching it) to write and say...absolutely dreadful!
I found this movie to be very similar to the movies Absolute Zero and The Day After Tomorrow. All three movies have a sudden deep freeze as the main theme.
Front story: after an eclipse of the sun, there is a major singularity in the Earth's atmosphere, and the drop in temperature starts. All the rest of the film as about: figuring out causation, predicting effects, and constructing a way to stop, then reverse, the effects.
Movie was good. It was entertaining.
My initial response to this film was unfairly snide, searching the lead actor's face in vain for simple change of expression. But although it took some time, I was finally able to find redeeming value in this tepid disaster film this apparent new sub-genre of divorced dads winning back their families by saving them from natural disasters might have some worth if you take a drink every time you see someone on the phone.
