The Film Review
The Plot
Released officially on 19th June 2016, Collision Course brings together the original Ice Age gang as they are now challenged by destructive asteroids that are heading directly towards Earth due to Scrat accidentally activating an abandoned alien ship.
Meanwhile on Earth, Manny and Ellie prepare for Peaches and her fiancé’s wedding. Buck returns dinosaur eggs to its owner after being stolen by flying dromaeosaurs named Gavin, Gertie, and Roger.
The Ice Age gang soon discovers the threat of the asteroids after being almost wiped out by one. It is revealed that the clue to stop the asteroids lies in the area where they had previously struck on Earth.
At the same time, the dromaeosaurs unsuccessfully try to stop Buck and the rest from going there as part of their revenge. The gang reaches the crash site where they discover Geotopia – a society consisting of immortal youthful animals.
The herd discovers how the magnetic properties within the asteroids can be used to repel them away from the Earth. However, the leader of Geotopia, Shangri Llama, refuses to help by not allowing them to send their city’s crystals into orbit.
Sid falls in love with one of the immortal female sloths called Brooke and in an attempt to impress her, he inadvertently destroys the entire city.
As a result, Geotopia’s eternal youth becomes shattered and all the animals return to their original elderly selves. Regardless, Brooke manages to convince everyone – including the dromaeosaurs
– to help them steer off the asteroids, to which they eventually agree.
Consequently, the plan is improvised and becomes a success, thereby leading asteroids to be pulled back into space. The film ends with Geotopia regaining its youthful form whereas the herd continues the wedding celebrations.
The Movie Production
Collision Course is a film that is actually inspired by the very first Ice Age film. There was a huge sign in the sense that Manny and his friends walking right passed an abandoned alien ship. The production team took this particular aspect of that film and, in turn, turned it into an entire film.
