Plot 411: Manny and his herd discover a whole new world below theirs when they venture into it to save Sid.
Review: First of all, I think this movie would've been just fine without the 3D effect at $3.50 a pop. Unlike other recent 3D movies, this one didn't really utilize it to full effect. Besides that though, I thought this was a fun and entertaining movie for both kids and adults. There were some scary parts that younger kids might not enjoy (after all, there are dinosaurs in this one), but overall I think it was really good. It's impressive how the animation has progressed throughout the years. There's a scene when Scrat (the squirrel) and his girlfriend are falling through the sky. You can see all the individual strands of fur blowing in the wind. The technicality is amazing and yet you're still able to enjoy the artistry of it all. In this movie, Sid (John Leguizamo) is kidnapped by a mommy t-rex because he's stolen her eggs in an attempt to start his own family. The herd rushes off to save him, even though Ellie (Queen Latifah) is pregnant, like any good herd would do. They encounter a warm, tropical world where dinosaurs exist underneath their cold and icy one. They meet up Buck (Simon Pegg) down under and he helps them track down Sid and avoid the nastiness that is Rudy. Also along for the ride are Manny (Ray Romano), Diego (Denis Leary) and Ellie's brothers - Crash (Seann William Scott) and Eddie (Josh Peck).
Watch It: If you're already in love with the Ice Age franchise. I think the best movie is a toss up between this one and the first one.
Skip It: If you're child is too young because some of the dinosaurs are scary-looking and come with loud roaring sounds.
