Editorial Review: Description: When global warming triggers the onset of a new Ice Age, tornadoes flatten Los Angeles, a tidal wave engulfs New York City and the entire Northern Hemisphere begins to freeze solid. Now, climatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), his son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) and a small band of survivors must ride out the growing superstorm and stay alive in the face of an enemy more powerful and relentless than any they've ever encountered: Mother Nature! Amazon.com: Supreme silliness doesn't stop The Day After Tomorrow from being lots of fun for connoisseurs of epic-scale disaster flicks. After the blockbuster profits of Independence Day and Godzilla, you can't blame director Roland Emmerich for using global warming as a politically correct excuse for destroying most of the northern hemisphere. Like most of Emmerich's films, this one emphasizes special effects over such lesser priorities as well-drawn characters and plausible plotting, and his dialogue (cowritten by Jeffrey Nachmanoff) is so laughably trite that it could be entirely eliminated without harming the movie. It's the spectacle that's important here, not the lame, recycled plot about father and son (Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal) who endure an end-of-the-world scenario caused by the effects of global warming. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the awesome visions of tornado-ravaged Los Angeles, blizzards in New Delhi, Japan pummeled by grapefruit-sized hailstones, and Manhattan flooded by swelling oceans and then frozen by the onset of a modern ice age. It's all wildly impressive, and Emmerich obviously doesn't care if the science is flimsy, so why should you? --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - GREAT MOVIE, SPECIAL EFFECTS MASTERPIECEThe Day After Tomorrow is one of my favorite movies. The special effects are incredible and really pull you into the show. I personally like it because it brings attention to the problem of global warming that isn't being taken serious enough. Rating: - Good News MST3K Fans -- Rifftrax Is Here!Leave your Prius in the garage and cash out your carbon debts! It's time to watch the end of the world, which is our fault of course, as RiffTrax Presents Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy's razor-sharp political analysis of The Day After Tomorrow - which, by my reckoning, at least for today, may also be called Friday (day of the week may vary in your area; check your local calendar). Director Roland Emmerich lends his usual subtle style to this story of a world in which we ... Read More Rating: - Quality flick. Kindly disregard reviews complaining......about whether we have or have not caused harm to our planet. The movie is not heavy handed nor does it attribute much blame to any one group. It's just a good, quality disaster flick that is fun to watch. Most disaster flicks kind of suck but I've actually watched this several times and I can't say that about many movies. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. Oh, and this is best to watch on a cold day...just adds a certain ambiance that lets you associate with the characters more. Rating: - Excellent movie!Yahoo!! I love this movie! Like new. Many thanks to a great seller. Rating: - I won't say anything about the environmental message, but it is fun to watchWhile I consider myself reasonably environmentally friendly, I never did pay much attention to all the political hulabaloo that surrounded this film. In fact, I never even bothered to see it until it came to DVD. And I will happily say that this is a movie worth keeping around, assuming you are one of those people that love a good fluffy adventure every now and then. I know I do, and the wild special effects and insane plot twists are enough to keep me happy. Warning or not, it's fun, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
