In the absence of a skeleton of a storyline to hang a film upon, you’ve got a lot more of Simon Pegg’s hyper swashbuckling weasel Buck (he sat out Dawn of the Dinosaurs) and noticeably more Scrat, which is never a bad thing - although every time the film checks up on his outer space adventures, it disrupts whatever remaining investment there was in its main plotline.Īs always, it all at least looks very nice - the Ice Age movies could always be counted on to possess a state-of-the-art, visual luster, and Collision Course certainly does well by those 3D glasses.
It’s as if co-directors Michael Thurmeier and Galen Tan Chu, both veterans of the Ice Age franchise, sensed that there was essentially nowhere left to go with the concept and opted to instead overstuff the production with too many characters breathlessly doing tired, pop culture-heavy “bits” like it was open mic night at the Paleolithic Punch Line.Įven when screenwriters Michael Wilson, Michael Berg and Yoni Brenner, also no strangers to the Ice Age universe, attempt to introduce something fresher, such as Geotopia, a new age-y community living inside a giant geode, the concept never comes to life. The following is a list of all Ice Age films, in chronological sequence of release: Ice Age (2002) Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) Ice Age: Collision Course (2016) The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild (2022) Ice Age Movies in Order 1. Joining the likes of Sid (John Leguizamo), Diego (Denis Leary), Shira ( Jennifer Lopez) and Granny (Wanda Sykes) is a whole menagerie of new characters played by Nick Offerman, singer Jessie J, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Michael Strahan, among others. Manny desperately needs to come up with a plan, but it’s hard to concentrate, what with the cacophony of creatures that have been crammed into IA5. Meanwhile, back down on terra firma, Manny and Ellie (Queen Latifah) aren’t exactly thrilled about the impending marriage between daughter Peaches ( Keke Palmer) and the perpetually upbeat Julian (newcomer Adam Devine), but the threat of an empty nest quickly takes a backseat to that ginormous, fiery rock hurtling toward them. The new chapter, as with the previous ones, kicks off with a Scrat prologue, with Neil deGrasse Tyson this time providing the introduction as the hapless saber-tooth squirrel is chasing his elusive acorn throughout the cosmos, ping-ponging off celestial bodies and helping to initiate the Big Bang Theory in the process.
