'Ice Age 4′ Review

Matt Singer — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:49:27 +0000

Each of the three previous 'Ice Age' movies earned between $175 and $200 million at the domestic box office.

This franchise doesn't need to do anything but show up, and it's guaranteed to make money. In other other words, an 'Ice Age' movie has no reason to take any risks, or vary its formula in any way, and as a result 'Ice Age: Continental Drift' feels less 'Ice Age 4' than 'Ice Age 1.4,' a meager software update on an old, well-worn program.
