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!

 This movie was meant for hi def! May 13, 2008
Jesse Felt (Wichita, KS)
I never saw this movie on DVD. That being said, I cannot imagine the DVD experience being worth the money. This movie was meant to be viewed in high definition. Absolutely beautiful!
an excellent imagination - but will it only be an imagination? April 6, 2008
Cao Chengjie (Shanghai, Shanghai China)

The Good Things
*Smashing special effects. Very detailed, vivid, and exciting.
*Some memorable scenes.
*Storyline is relatively engaging; hardly boring.
*I suppose this is somewhat relevant to today's issues concerning climate change.
*Acting was not too bad.
The Bad Things
*Highly unbelievable. Even if supercell storm systems have some kind of wierd cold air front, there's no way helicopters could freeze over in seconds and crash. Some parts are downright silly; people were literally running away from growing frost.
*Sometimes, the characters act dumb; a few parts where you could yell at the screen for the people to run and seek shelter. However, some of this stupidity is believable.
*Heavy focus on drama can be seen as sappy.
Only a step better than other disaster movies like "The Core," this film has a typical plot with typical characters. It is well made, with fantastic special effects, some interesting imagery, and adequate acting. Some aspects can also be relevant to modern-day issues in climate change (and possibly immigration). It is still a little shallow and highly unbelievable. Fans of disaster films, or people who like good special effects, should probably check this out. Otherwise, it is quite weak.
Great movie March 31, 2008
Joshua Crawford (ATLANTA, GA)
A very horrific part of planet earth that repeats itself every so often. This important to see, so that you will know how important global warning is.

Here we are with another love it or hate it film. "The Day After Tomorrow" was done by the same crew who brought you "Independence Day".
Well, it's July 5th, and all h**l is breaking loose.
It all starts with the Larsen "B" ice shelf breaking up and falling into the Ocean (which was a real event, I might add). What happens from here, is best described as pure fiction (Science Fiction?).
Baseball-size hail in Japan, snow in India, tornadoes in Los Angeles, Helicopters freezing in flight above Scotland and a 100+feet storm surge in Manhattan. I think the only thing missing was fish and frogs raining from the sky in Kansas! All this leads up to three "superstorms" that signal the beginning of the new Ice Age.
Much time is given in the film to it's actors explaining away these occurrences, with Dennis Quaid leading the charge to think proactively, to protect the citizenry of the U.S. (it seems our government is only interested in money-WOW! big surprise, there!) The dramatization of the characters seems superfluous at times, with dialog that's just banal enough to put one to sleep. All the actors in this film make brave attempts to lend credibility to the story, but just can't get past the weather, which is the real star of this film.
The crazy weather IS interesting, though, especially when the choppers froze in mid air. The guy flash-freezing at the hatch of his helicopter is pretty good, and where better than Los Angeles, to get the "Wizard of Oz" treatment! Manhattan always seems to get the brunt of damage in disaster flicks, and one wonders why it's still standing!
It might seem that I'm bashing this film. On the contrary, there IS one thing that saves this film, and it happens to be my favorite part. It's when the "new" President of what's left of The United States gets in front of TV cameras and microphones, and ADMITS his fault in the handling of the disaster! I love it!!
The Scientific Community essentially dismissed this film outright, because of it's most glaring errors- The weather. Some said it was an "overly severe" example of the coming of the next Ice Age. Some even went so far as to say that many of the anomalies would not even occur! While I'm no scientist or meteorologist, "The Day After Tomorrow" is a pretty good example of "Escapist Reality"!
Some of the extras are interesting. There is a breakdown of the sound elements of a specific scene in the film, the usual deleted scenes, and commentary tracks. The Making-of segment is accessed by DVD-ROM.
