Synopsis: The odd family composed of a mammoth, a sabretooth tiger and a possum, plus some new friends, will need to get moving to avoid being crushed by the continental drift.
Review: It is nice to see again the characters we liked from the previous episodes in this new adventure, but it looks like it is more and more targeted towards the young audiences, loosing the second degree of viewing (for adults) that was present in the first film. Moreover, it looks like the problem encountered in the movie franchise follow the ones of the average viewers as they grow up (a baby in the first film, kids in the second and now teenagers). There are some funny slapsticks moments, including the usual apparitions from Scrat, but that is all.
Better to watch if you are tired and don't want to think too much.
Rating: 4 /10
