Ice Age posits a heretofore unfathomable question: Is it possible for computer-generated characters to go through the motions?

(Robert Wilonsky, New Times Los Angeles)

The first computer-generated feature cartoon to feel like other movies, and that makes for some glacial pacing early on.

(Gary Thompson, Philadelphia Daily News)

A subzero version of Monsters, Inc., without the latter's imagination, visual charm or texture.

(Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer)

In the annals of big-budget, modern-day animated excursions, Ice Age is one of the lesser efforts.

(Dustin Putman, Themovieboy.com)

There isn’t one moment in the film that surprises or delights.

(Chuck Rudolph, Matinee Magazine)

This relentless, all-wise-guys-all-the-time approach tries way too hard and gets tiring in no time at all.

(Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times)

Almost everything about Ice Age proves to be disappointingly generic.

(Jonathan Foreman, New York Post)

It is painful to watch the inferior aspects of the film sink under the muddy vestiges of its superior facets.

(Jon Lap, Apollo Guide)

The movie suffers every time the creatures have to say the words the screenwriters have foisted on them.

(Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle)

Dull... monotonous... no surprises.

(Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com)
