Acclaimed National Geographic photographer James Balog was once a skeptic about climate change. But through his Extreme Ice Survey, he discovers undeniable evidence of our changing planet. In Chasing Ice, Balog deploys revolutionary time-lapse cameras to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Traveling with a team of young adventurers across the brutal Arctic, Balog risks his career and his well-being in pursuit of the biggest story facing humanity. As the debate polarizes America, and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, Chasing Ice depicts a heroic photojournalist on a mission to deliver fragile hope to our carbon-powered planet. -- (C) Submarine

Review For Movie Chasing Ice
Still an eco-sceptic? Clap your eyes on this lot. Awe-inspiring, terrifying, transcendently beautiful, and absolutely weighted with significance for the future of the planet.
Trevor Johnston-Time Out The most important documentary of the year.
Tom Long-Detroit News "Chasing Ice" is a grand adventure, a visual amazement and a powerful warning.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune If you're looking for eye-popping evidence that the world's glaciers are melting, don't miss the small-scale but spectacular documentary, Chasing Ice.
Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly The rapid disappearance of ice mountains, filmed over a period of years, is compressed through time-lapse technology into minutes and seconds. The speeded-up effect is harrowing and also, disturbingly, eerily beautiful.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor The movie might have given us a bit less of Balog and a bit more of the startling sequences he produced.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle On one hand, it's humbling to watch as a glacier the size of five football fields slumps into the ocean like a defeated whale, while on the other it's eye-opening to think about how cataclysmic the effects could be in years to come.
Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor As a documentary, it offers most of its likely viewers grim confirmation of what they already know, rather than the thrill of discovery.
Margot Harrison-Seven Days Less 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.
Simon Foster-sbs.com.au Beautiful, affecting documentary about glacier retreat.
Emily Ashby-Common Sense Media If seeing equals believing, then this film's documentation ought to sway the world. But daredevil heroes and sexy screen goddesses probably help the medicine go down.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle While visually and emotionally stunning, "Chasing Ice" raises almost as many questions as it answers.
Lindsey Cherner-Austin American-Statesman Chasing Ice will open your eyes to a world you've never seen before and it will make you think. But whether any of us can change anything is a different matter altogether.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Global Warming? "Seeing is believing."
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service While 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.
Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel It's an absorbing and vital watch.
Gail Tolley-The List It's like watching our world disappear.
Philip French-Observer [UK] A few scientists pop their heads in here, a few charts are deployed, but Chasing Ice is powered primarily by the imagery, stark, irrefutable evidence that the planet is warming, not in one or two isolated places but everywhere.
MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher "Chasing Ice" is a beautiful film to watch, especially on the big screen. But the documentary's visual pleasures come with a heavy dose of guilt.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) It's sobering stuff but the film's impact is somewhat diminished by Orlowski's reverential profile of Balog, who continues to crusade despite the toll his endeavours have taken on his body.
David Parkinson-Radio Times The documentary feels a little slight but the images speak for themselves ...
Allan Hunter-Daily Express Is this about the hazards of global warming or the awesomeness of James Balog? Not entirely sure...
David Jenkins-Little White Lies If any film can convert the climate-change sceptics, Chasing Ice would be it: here, seeing really is believing.
Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK] While more detailed scientific analysis and greater discussion of impacts would have been welcome, the film's visual rhetoric is solid.
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews National Geographic photographer James Balog illustrates climate change with time-lapsed records of glacial retreat.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph A project of heroic, Herzogian endeavour. Mad, you might say. But probably not as mad as what the rest of us are doing about climate change: namely almost nothing.

Movie Overview For Chasing Ice
When National Geographic photographer James Balog asked, “How can one take a picture of climate change?†his attention was immediately drawn to ice. Soon he was asked to do a cover story on glaciers that became the most popular and well-read piece in the magazine during the last five years. But for Balog, that story marked the beginning of a much larger and longer-term project that would reach epic proportions.
