A new ice age generated by mankind to wipe out a plague has in turn killed off most of the human race. A motley group of survivors led by Vargas (likeable Eric Szmanda) embark on a perilous quest to reach a safe haven known as Shangri-La.
Writer/director Nick Wauters keeps the absorbing story moving along at a constant pace, presents a vivid depiction of a bleak desolate wintry world, maintains a serious tone throughout, offers a neat array of colorful characters, and stages some thrilling last reel action with flair and skill. Moreover, Wauters warrants extra praise for making a band of mutants sympathetic protagonists while the hateful humans are the villains of the piece. The solid acting by the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Sara Malakal Lane as sensitive psychic Pax, Patrick Batiste as the angry Kalo, Rocky Bonifield as the flaky Gyro, Ewan Chung as the suspicious Tai, Josh Shibati as the two-fisted Aisa, Mykayla Sohn as the fragile Quint, Mercy Malick as the hard-nosed Dr. Jennifer Holliston, and Ken Narasaki as the excitable Dr. Linus Zhou. The CGI effects are pretty decent and acceptable considering the modest budget. A cool little flick.
