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

 It Could Happen!!! March 3, 2010
Pazzie Herndez
A very good depiction of what might happen if nothing is done to save our world-the Earth- from global warming, greenhouse effect and El Nino. There's a lot of catastrophe that's going on such as earthquake, tsunami, floodings, volcanic eruptions, etc.
 TOP 10 WORST EVER! March 1, 2010
Movieskinny (Chico,CA)
This movie epitomizes the literary phrase "Suspension of Disbelief", which means absolutely preposterous. That doesn't always mean terrible. This movie has one of the nuttiest and most mind numbing plot points in movie history. At least I hope not! The entire northern hemisphere is flash frozen, which means, everything freezes instantly at a temperature that would turn you into an ice sculpture in about two seconds. BUT, if you burn a few library books you can turn a minus 100 degrees into a nice comfy warmth for reading said books. What!? A pilotless tanker ship somehow navigates it way to the downtown area between skyscrapers! What!? I gotta stop now, before you don't believe a word I'm saying.
This was my number #2 bad movie of all time until I rented a wacky space drama with NO movie stars at the Red Box machine, and the previous renter even wrote "This is the worst movie ever" right on the disc, it was. Day After Tomorrow(DaT) gets knocked down to a tie with Armageddon as the third worst ever. Without really good actors here, I guarantee you that no one would ever have given Day After Tomorrow more than one star. It has ONLY special effects, 5.1 sound, and NO plot. If you call it a popcorn movie, I call it a comedy. Reviewers and fans hate giving movies bad reviews that have good actors being caught in bad movies, because they have done good or great movies. Quaid and Jake have done entertaining movies. Get a nice pillow and hopefully you will awake for the slam bang finish. Oh, wait, there isn't one.
The number three worst ever, I'm watching it right now on tv, until something better falls on my head, Day After Tomorrow. Fun scenes of diaster in 5.1 sound, but is hard to watch when your head is shaking side to side. You ask, what is worse than DaT, The Core. Same scenario, great actors doing scenes that you couldn't dream up in a million years. In fact, you can't give any movie a "NO STARS" review at Amazon, and Day After Tomorrow deserves it too. The sequel to DaT could be called, Sun Approaches Earth; Michael Moore Joins NASA! LOL!

The global warming literally chases people down a hall... enough said, this movie is flippin' retarded.
good and bad February 20, 2010
Jackie Ho (Oakland, CA USA)
I've already liked this movie. Back when it came out in 2004 i felt as if this was an eye opener, when i saw that it was on blu ray, i had to hop on that! typically blurays quality is so good, sometimes it feels too animated, but the graphics were pretty cool and i loved the quality! i would recommend to other people to watch!

I doubt the science in this movie lines up like they say it does, but it is still a great story about survival and how you can count on human nature in dire situations. I love movies that make you think about what can happen to our civilization. We try to control so much, and it's nice to be reminded sometimes that we don't have all of the answers!
