In 'Chasing Ice,' we follow Balog across the Arctic as he deploys revolutionary time-lapse cameras designed for one purpose: to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers.

Movie Reviews

New York Daily News - 10/10 by Joe NeumaierThis amazingly beautiful, and amazingly frightening, documentary captures the immediacy of what climate change is doing to the Arctic landscape.
Sydney Morning Herald - 10/10 by Brad Newsome[A] spectacular but depressing documentary.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 10/10 by Colin Covert"Chasing Ice" is a grand adventure, a visual amazement and a powerful warning.
ABC Radio (Australia) - 10/10 by Matt NealOrlowski's documentary is brilliant because of the wondrous way it shows a worldwide story and a personal one at the same time.
sbs.com.au - 10/10 by Simon FosterLess a didactic 'message-movie' than a study of one man's steely determination, the debut helmer directs with a sure hand and no-frills aesthetic.
Boston Phoenix - 9/10 by Gerald PearyHorrific and even tearful: mighty glaciers eroding, collapsing before our eyes, sending melting ice and waters southward.
ColeSmithey.com - 9/10 by Cole Smithey[VIDEO ESSAY] ...renders absolute proof of global warming a.k.a. climate change.
Salt Lake Tribune - 9/10 by Sean P. Means"Chasing Ice" is that movie that every environmentally conscious person has been waiting for, if only to show their right-wing relatives who parrot the standard oil-industry-funded line that "the science is still uncertain."
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 9/10 by Duane DudekWhile skeptics continue to doubt global warming is a man-made phenomenon - Rush Limbaugh called warnings about it "garbage science" - "Chasing Ice" leaves little doubt it is occurring.
NPR - 9/10 by Mark JenkinsIn Hollywood these days, such epic transformations are rendered with computers and called "morphing." Offering a lesson both to filmmakers and climate-change deniers, Chasing Ice demonstrates how much more powerful it is to capture the real thing.
