![]() ![]() ![]() The models look good, but aside from the villains, they don’t stand out too much. The character animation is mostly pretty standards. Thankfully, they at least fixed that here. In the 4 th film, the animation was good but the locations were very bland, and there was nothing special about the look the film itself. The quality of the writing has always been spotting, but the team of animators at Blue Sky still try their best, for the most part. So screw it, let’s see if 5 th time is the charm, or if this franchise should finally go extinct. And hey, as long as it’s better then previous one, I’ll consider that a win. Maybe there’s some great twist they aren’t telling us. We have have a writer from the original film, but also have two from the weaker sequels. Having one of the directors from Part 4 doesn’t help much either. It didn’t help that the trailers didn’t’ say much about the real story, and this currently has the worst reviews of all the films, with a 15 Percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Do more Scrat shorts, like the one in front The Peanuts Movie, and just end this franchise. Honestly, this was my least anticipated film of the Summer simply because I want this series to end. ![]() Now, I’m open to anything but even I groaned at this. While even Part 4 has it’s moments, I thought they should pack it in before they really push it. I don’t like to say that too often, but it’s clear these only exist because they make money. At this point, this franchise is a cash grab. To recap my review, it was pretty much a rehash of the previous films, with a very weak and cliché story, even if Scrat was still top notch. The Meltdown was a solid sequel, and while Dawn of the Dinosaurs was flawed, it had the best Scrat subplot and the best visuals. The sequels have progressively gotten far away from that. To recap, the first adventure with Manny and the gang was a genuinely good family film that managed to take itself decently seriously, despite a wacky squirrel subplot. If you recall, back in 2013 I reviewed 2012’s Ice Age 4 which I was…not impressed by. Blue Sky’s Ice Age series is a perfect example of that. There are some franchises where every time they announce a new entry, you can hear the world’s collective groan at the idea. Something tells me it’ll have aliens in it” -Me, 2013 “ Which means we’ll likely be seeing ice age 5 in a few years. ![]()
