Of course Scrat who was following a map which leads to a treasure trove of Acorns finally finds the Island which is depicted as the same as that of Lost city of Atlantis ( SCRATLANTIS) . But intstead of being happy there , Scrat's obsession again forces him to lose everything and Scrat is found in a desetred desert where he shouts his lungs out as the movie's credits roll.
The entire movie is an absolute blast . Even Sid and Rooney from the 3rd part makes an appearence in the initial part of the movie when Scrat falls off into the core of the earth.

This is the first sequel that was not directed by Carlos Saldanha who had done all the previous movies of Ice Age . Maybe thats why one could see something lacking in this movie when compared to its predcessors. I mean , the Dawn of the Dinosaurs was the best of the best in the series.
The humour and creativity which was captured there in that movie was somehow lacking in this one .You somewhat have the unsatisfactory feel when the movie
finally ends. Well atleast I had that . But one can t complain that the movie wasn'st entertaining enough . Bcos it sure as hell was the best . Ice Age Rocks !! And fans of the series are going to love their favourite heroes on screen again ...
Rating : 8.2/10
