It is the
fourth instalment of the Ice Age series, produced by Blue Sky Studios and
distributed by 20th Century Fox. It is the first sequel in the series not
directed by Carlos Saldanha and the second Ice Age that utilises Digital 3D. The story beings when Scrat accidentally provokes
a continental cataclysm with a storm. Manny is separated from Ellie and Peaches
on an iceberg with Diego, Sid and Granny but he promises that he will find a
way to return home. While crossing the ocean, they are captured by the cruel
pirate Captain Gutt and his crew. However they escape and Manny plots a plan to
steal Captain Gutt's ship and return to his homeland in a dangerous voyage
through the sea. But the cruel pirates seek revenge against Manny and his
family and friends.
As a fan of
the Ice Age series, Ice Age 4: Continental Drift lacks any of the substance or
joy from the first three films. In my opinion, the movie was too short to represent
its desired plot. Yet another unfortunate aspect is the voice acting. The cast
seem to lack any noticeable energy to keep the film going. However, Ice Age 4
is another wonderful adventure of Manny, Diego and Sid and their family and
friends. I love this ice age series that support the funny plots in positive values
such as love, family, friendship and loyalty that seem to be forgotten in the
present days of worldwide intolerance, selfishness and corruption.
Rate: 6.5/10
