Ice Age: Continental Drift

 Ice Age: Continental Drift   :      In this movie, Surat the squirrel is the cause for the continental drift, splitting the earth's land masses into the five continents America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. This suggests that the the beginning of the movie as well as the three previous "Ice Age" movies took place on the continent Pangaea which existed 300 million years ago and started to split apart 200 million years ago. The ice age however occurred approximately 20,000 years ago, a time in which the five continents already existed.

Ice Age: Continental Drift


Synopsis:

        Ice Age Continental Drift : Join Manny, Diego, Sid, and Surat this summer as they brave the high seas & battle a ragtag group of pirates determined to stop them from getting home.

Manny, Diego, and Sid embark upon another adventure after their continent is set adrift. Using an iceberg as a ship, they encounter sea creatures and battle pirates as they explore a new world.

Storyline

       Ice Age: Continental Drift: Sc rat's  nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn, which he's been after since the dawn of time, has world-changing consequences - a continental cataclysm that triggers the greatest adventure of all for Manny, Diego and Sid. In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home.

Anachronisms: In this movie, Scrat the squirrel is the cause for the continental drift, splitting the earth's land masses into the five continents America, Europe, Aisa, Africa and Australia. This suggests that the the beginning of the movie as well as the three previous "Ice Age" movies took place on the continent Pangaea which existed 300 million years ago and started to split apart 200 million years ago. The ice age however occurred approximately 20,000 years ago, a time in which the five continents already existed.

it was fun, but not the best of the series

                     Ice Age: Continental Drift Ice Age: Continental Drift is funny, and i had fun watching it and looked forward to seeing what this weird herd is up to now.

It is the fourth installment of the Ice Age series and the seventh CG production of Blue Sky Studios and the first sequel not to be directed by Carlos Saldanha who will be directing RIO part 2.

What I love must about this flick is the introduction of a partner for Diego; a white tiger lady is added ladies and gentlemen. The movie also has the whole fun of the old clichés, which I seem not to be tired of seeing. It also showcases cool CG effect; I loved the water effect most.

The plot was educational (as long as you know it is bogus) due to Scrat's (Squirrel) hunt for acorns he triggers the break-up of the world continent into the continents as we know them today, which cause Manny to lose his family.

Manny, Diego, and Sid embark upon another adventure to find his family, after their continent is set adrift. Using an iceberg as a ship, they encounter sea creatures and battle pirates as they explore a new world, and learn why it is good to be part of a family herd, than being part of a group where one person leads and other follow.

Well, the new directors weren't that bad, as the movie did have some fun screenplays and events that you will be thrilled to see. As we watch this creatures move from the Ice Age to the present age the pictures tell stories that are kinda informative and entertaining.

Hey! I must have missed that geography class when they taught that Scrat the squirrel created the whole world.

Although this is not the best addition to the Ice Age series it was fun to watch. And the movie kinda opens doors to new additional sequels.

But I hope Blue Sky won't bother making any more.
