Ice Age: Continental Drift
Stream
Rent & Buy
Manny, Diego, and Sid embark upon another adventure after their continent is set adrift. Using an iceberg as a ship, they encounter sea creatures and battle pirates as they explore a new world.
What critics thought
Critics largely dismissed the fourth Ice Age installment as a tired rehash running on franchise fumes, though a minority found it genuinely entertaining family fare. The split between critical consensus and audience response is striking — families in theaters gave it high marks while most reviewers found the humor shallow and the formula exhausted.
“The characters are manic and idiotic, the dialogue is rat-a-tat chatter, the action is entirely at the service of the 3D, and the movie depends on bright colors, lots of noise and a few songs in between the whiplash moments.”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“It's familiar, drawn-out shtick, and the humor lacks the subtlety of the first and best Ice Age, but there are some visually inventive high points.”
Megan Lehmann·The Hollywood Reporter
“not only is Ice Age 4 arguably the best in the franchise yet, it's also, a little surprisingly perhaps (given that it's a fourth movie in a franchise, turned around on a strict cycle), turned out to be thoroughly, thoroughly entertaining family blockbuster.”
Simon Brew·Den of Geek
“Old friends and new voice talent will delight kids with a never-ending love for the most undemanding animation out there.”
