ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT (Theatrical Release USA 2012)
Ben
Meyers’ Rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì
Ice age: Continental Drift—animated comedy—introduces new, well-drawn
personalities and voice actors into its ongoing story: Keke Palmer as Peaches,
Peter Dinklage as Captain Gutt, Josh Gad as Louis, Jennifer Lopez as Shira.
This film provides interest as it works on a multi-threaded storyline to follow
the stories of several characters who each are having their own adventures. The
story is light, moves along well, and has a nice conclusion. It provides welcome
continuity by recasting known characters played/voiced by Ray Ramono, John
Leguizamo, Denis Leary, and other voice actors and actresses into its basic
storyline. This is a ‘no shab’ piece of entertainment for a wide-ranged
audience and serves family entertainment needs well. Realize that this is movie
4 in a series and will be appreciated more by audiences who are following the
series. It can stand alone, but has not been designed for that type of viewng. Audiences
new to the series will appreciate this film far more if they begin as the
beginning of the series with film 1: Ice Age, a 2002 movie.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. The movie provides interest with a great
storyline that follows several characters involvement with life and unites the
stories with the common thread of change as they encounter earth’s changes. The
movie deserves its watch, is a very good child/adult share and makes a
high-quality addition to the family home entertainment video library.
