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
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!

 The "Independence Day" of climate change, fantasy not science fiction! July 12, 2008
Emc2 (Tropical Utopia)
Science fiction involves speculation or rational extrapolation based on current science or technology, so scientific rules have to be obeyed up to certain degree. Then, there is no choice but to classify The Day After Tomorrow as fantasy, because the science was so exaggerated and full of factual mistakes that not even the man-made global warming tribe was willing to defend it. Famous environmentalist George Monbiot called it "a great movie and lousy science." Realclimate.org compared it with State of Fear for addressing "real scientific issues and controversies, but is similarly selective (and occasionally mistaken) about the basic science."
The only positive comment has to do with the special effects, they are as good as their sister movies Independence Day (Single Disc Widescreen Edition) and Godzilla, from the same film Director. Besides from SFX buffs and disaster movie fans, the only others who could really enjoy this movie is the small band of radicals, who in the name of a number of good causes, covertly advocate for industrialization, capitalism and globalization to end as the only means to save our planet. And this film makes their dream come truth, as the modern Ice Age forces most of the citizens from developed countries who survive to march as refugees to the Third World in exchange for their foreign debt. The Independence Day of climate change!
However, to be fair, it has to be noticed that The Day After Tomorrow was a big hit in the box office, so, unquestionably most moviegoers really love the combination of fantasy, good SFX, action, and disaster movies! This also explains the paradox of why so many Amazon reviewers agree on the exaggerations of the movie, but some rated it as five stars while others just one.
Great Video! June 28, 2008
Michael R. Hercliff Jr. (Caro, MI USA)
This was a great video! It shipped fast from Amazon and since it's a Blu-Ray movie, it looks even better than the original DVD.
 An Excuse To Overdo SFX June 21, 2008
Steven Stewart (www.myspace.com/steveostewart)
The Day After Tomorrow was that movie that was simply made as an excuse to have a 2 + hour film filled with ridiculously over the top special effects. The story is nothing to write home about which is really what killed this movie, actually the whole story seemed very cliche as a climatologist races against time in order to convince the world and the government that they need to change their ways or global warming will destroy the Earth. Obviously this was a sensitive subject matter as even now the mass media are still quite hysterical over the possibility of a new Ice Age thanks to global warming.
Dennis Quaid plays Jack Hall the climatologist who once he learns that the climate shift that will bring the new Ice Age is coming much faster than expected, he's in a race against time to make it to New York to be with his son but he may be too late as the oceans rise at a rapid rate flooding New York in a matter of minutes. The real question is, will his son survive and will he make it to New York. Yes, that's it, that's the entire story in a nutshell, there's no other real story apart from a mild mannered love story between Sam Hall (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Laura Chapman (Emmy Rossum) but again that's nothing to really go on about.
Overall this is quite a mediocre film with, sure great effects but apart from that it's really nothing special. If you enjoy films with great effects and not much depth then you may enjoy this, but if you're looking for a film with even a half decent story then this is something you shouldn't really waste your time on.
