Editorial Reviews

From 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

suspension of disbelief (2007-08-05)

"Nowadays" between New York and Los Angeles. A climatologist (Dennis Quaid) needs to find a way to save "the world" from global warming. His son (Jake Gyllenhaal) is hiding with a group of friends in the New York Public Library and is experiencing first-hand the major weather changes.Special effects were all wonderful. I was only disappointed in the wolves: they did not look real at all.Keep in mind when watching this movie that it requires a *lot* of suspension of disbelief. Most of what happens is beyond belief and rather predictable.That said, it is still enjoyable entertainment, and Dennis Quaid proves that he is an excellent actor. Gyllenhaal is not the best, but the casting was decent enough for this movie.Pure Hollywood entertainment. What else can one expect from a director like Roland Emmerich.

Awsome movie! (2007-05-01)

I have quite a large collection of DVD movies and when people ask me which one of all do I like best, it always comes down to "The Day After Tomorrow"! The plot is great and believable, the cast is excellent, and the effects are out of this world! This movie got me sitting at the edge of my seat from the start to the end. There are movies that I own which I haven't seen yet, but this one, I've watched 3 times and would not hesitate to watch it again and again. Get this one!

It was okay (2007-02-11)

Quickly: great effects, good acting, bad science, meh movie.Summary: Global warming causes the next ice age. That's basically it. You follow the story of a few groups of people and how this affects them then it focuses in on one family. The Good: the effects were great, from ice falling on people in Japan to the frozen Statue of Liberty. You can tell this was the main focus of the movie and they do a good job. The acting was rather good in this, and I had no complaints about any performances. The pacing was also good, as I wasn't bored at any one point.The Bad: the preaching. I knew it would be there, but things like the 'evil' vice president giving the 'save the world' speech at the end when he was proved wrong was too much. The fact the plot eventually switched to just the one family and really just the Father trying to save the son was pretty typically Hollywood lame. The father making up with his wife was worse. The plot was alright but really, it's just a giant effects movie, there isn't much meat. The Ugly: the science. I don't know much about weather patterns and such but this was just hokey. The wolves! Why?!? Overall: not the worst I have ever seen, but no where near the best. A typical effects blockbuster and don't expect any more then that. It was OK, the effects were cool, the acting was good, the science was suspect and the plot was contrived.
