An action-packed slog

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This movie talks about the continental drift and is another sequel to "Ice Age". In this film, the animals will face the dangers of a changing planet, and try to hold together before splitting and drifting of the continents. Directed by Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier, has voice actors like Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah and Denis Leary.After the disaster of "Dawn of Dinosaurs" it was difficult to do worse and, in fact, this film tries to return to a certain level of quality. The script has more solid, but still very fragile, mainly due to the introduction of a topic that has nothing to do with this film: piracy. Another problem is the lack of action, funny moments or something that makes the audience to pay attention to the screen. I fell asleep in the first two attempts to see the full movie, and this is very bad sign. The characters that, in the first two films, were nicer, now accuse wear, after ten years with almost nothing new to give to the public.Everything else remains virtually the same: the soundtrack is mediocre, the animation is regular but the quality of scenarios decreased noticeably. What remained at a good level was the work of the voice actors, but no one will see an animated film because of them.

I believe ice age 4 could have done so much better, The pros for this movie in my opinion are, Diego finally gets a love interest: thank goodness i loved Shira! an excellent new character, The comedy: i love Sid's grandmother she is one of the reasons i keep coming back to this movie, The cons however are what really ruins this movie for me, The villains: man oh man was this a total letdown really pirates?! it doesn't exactly fit with the ice age, Unnecessary characters: the teens and Louis are just some examples of unnecessary additions, and finally character roles: characters like Ellie, crash, Eddie, peaches and even Shira needed bigger roles, in my opinion the herd should have met Shira a different way, so overall it was good at times but lacked a bit hopefully ice age 5 won't suffer like this

let me go back to the the start i was going to this thing in the cinema where what ever movie gets the most votes gets played i was hoping star wars would get played nope the guy suddenly said and i repeat you can only vote if your under the AGE of 12 all hope wasn't lost until kids got the idea to play ice age because of the way the guy said age so was it no its trying to hard to fit in with teens and when were butt jokes funny if you said never go get a cookie if you said ever for same and that 90 percent and other problem is here in Ireland they are overplayed and worse my mom puts them on every time she see em and the gut guy is i think a little to dark when you think about it

Ice Age 4 was obvious to arrive after Ice Age 3 was accepted universally as the funniest in the series. But that's where the problem starts. Ice Age 4 is adventurous like its predecessors but not funny like Ice Age 3 nor subtle like Ice Age 1. Most of the new characters fall flat and most of the situations are pretty predictable and pinch like clichés. It's not like everything was bad. Granny character was funny and complimented our adorable and crazy Sid. There are fun moments too but only here and there. It felt like the lead characters are getting tired of these adventures so is the loyal audience. Even the most liked character Scratte did not have enough fun this time. If they are thinking on Ice Age 5, I just hope they reinvent the series with some original idea.
