Title: Edition lamentable
Review: Le film en lui-même est une honnête série B.L’édition en revanche est proprement lamentable : hiatus dans certaines séquences, peut-être dus aux changements de couche lors de la lecture (oui, mais alors, il y a beaucoup de couches sur ce DVD !), image granuleuse, piquée.Ce DVD, en l’état ne vaut pas plus de 2 Euros !Et je ne parle même pas du verso de la jaquette, écrit par quelqu’un qui confond verbe avoir et verbe être…

Review: I was I have to admit a little doubtful at first about _The Thaw_. I knew it was a straight to DVD release and I worried that it would have bad acting, awful dialogue, or just otherwise low production values, perhaps like some of the other bad straight to DVD releases out there or some of the worst of the SyFy movies of the week (especially how they used to be a few years ago before they started improving in quality).The movie was a lot better than I thought it would be. In fact, I really liked it. Though the overall plot was not extraordinarily new it boasted one of my favorite go-to genre plots; the isolated Arctic/Antarctic research station having to contend with some horror that they can’t get help (or help fast enough) from the outside world, a plotline used successfully in the _The Thing_, the _X-Files_ episode _Ice_ and in the mystery film _Whiteout_. This time though with a nod towards global warming has as its location a Canadian island in the high Arctic, a place that is shown largely snow and ice free, just open tundra with a nearly melted glacier.In fact, the movie has more than a nod towards global warming as it is a central theme of the movie. The opening montage shows news footage of global warming related disasters and talking heads on news shows arguing vociferously for or against global warming. I first feared that the film would be preachy (really, a preachy horror movie?) or that the horror would either outright gleefully mock climate change fears or embrace them wholeheartedly with a joy-killing earnestness. Thankfully, the movie did neither.The movie opened with a team lead by an environmental scientist played by Val Kilmer. Up there to study the effects of climate change on polar bears (they appear to have used a real polar bear in the filming, one in the wild as far as I could tell, impressive) they come across something. One of the native guides finds just barely covered in the ice of a melting glacier a thawing carcass of a very well preserved woolly mammoth, one so well preserved that the polar bear had been feeding on it.Early on there is something ominous though; the polar bear, which they had shot with a tranquiller gun so that they could study it, unexpectedly died off camera. This is a shock to the researchers. What is going on?No answers yet as we go to the United States to meet the rest of the cast, the chief scientist’s estranged daughter and three graduate students , all of whom are to join the professor at his research camp (one of the students is played by Aaron Ashmore of _Smallville_ fame, a good actor and much appreciated). Taking them to the research station is a bush helicopter pilot, a good man and a strong character in this film.Cutting back to the research station, or rather, the field station camp near the mammoth find, things are clearly not well. The researchers are sick, possibly dying, and Val Kilmer’s character, looks defeated, depressed and is obviously making some sort of video diary that has the feel of a last will and testament. He warns the helicopter pilot to not bring his daughter up there (though crucially, and deliberately, says nothing of the students). What is going on?I don’t think I am giving too much away to say that the threat is some sort of insect-like creature, a parasite, one that had infested the woolly mammoth and now (presumably thanks to global warming) was free, active, and now making the research team sick. The insects are creepy, the effects they have on people chilling, and there was some really good tension and thrills regarding their threat (and key to the sub-genre of genre films, half the action is the growing paranoia, hysteria, and frustration of people in a very isolated part of the world, far from help, in a life or death situation against something truly unknown and deeply chilling, in a situation where the worst can come out in people and everyone fears everyone else). There however is more than meets the eye at first, truly muddying the waters and making any charge that this is a pro-environmentalist film a difficult one to make in my opinion.The cinematography is beautiful. I must confess I have not watched the making of special feature but clearly they were somewhere, not on a soundstage (except maybe while inside the station itself) and were somewhere doing great location shooting. If they weren’t in the Canadian Arctic they found a good place to represent it. They also had real helicopters and the CGI was quite good. There was action but nothing I thought too unrealistic, nothing that I thought the characters wouldn’t try or couldn’t achieve given their backgrounds.All in all a surprisingly good movie. My only complaint was that Val Kilmer seemed little used and tired at first, almost not wanting to be there, an opinion I revised when I saw the entire film, that the amount of time he was used and how he acted very much fit his character’s mental state and served the overall plot of the film well. There were some gross scenes but I have seen much, much worse and what was shown I think was necessary to advance the plot and show the very real risk faced by the students and others in the film.
