The movie Iceman has an interesting premise. A team of researchers find the body of a man frozen in ice for 40,000 years. When performing an autopsy, the man shows signs of life. The film stumbles when it tries to explain how this is possible. If you choose to suspend disbelief, the film asks some interesting questions. If cryogenics was real, what potential there would be for people! Though, another character debates and asks who would control that. Unfortunately, this thread is not followed far enough.

I spent too much of the movie confused about the continuity or pacing any time there was a scene change. Once a new scene finally grounded itself into the rest of the movie, I enjoyed it. Sometimes, it took a while! For example, it would go from the titular man sedated on a bed to him exploring his environment. It screamed that it was a flashback. He's hunting, scavenging, and starting a fire for crying out loud! Yet, it ends up in present day and he's in an entire zoo-like enclosure in the middle of the arctic! I know they said they had animals, but it was not clear why or how they built that for the Iceman.

[spoiler]The steps that the anthropologist took to get to the dreamwalk conclusion made no sense. It felt like it the writers threw it in because the rest of the plot needed it to be a dreamwalk.[/spoiler] Ignoring that, it did make for a satisfying ending. In the end, Iceman is a flawed but fair movie.
