Story:
With THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, director Roland Emmerich (INDEPENDENCE DAY, GODZILLA) trades evil aliens and radioactive lizards in for some seriously bad weather. When a radical change in the temperature of the world's oceans causes deadly storms and sets a new Ice Age in motion, climatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) must race from Washington D.C. to save his son, Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal), in the subzero climes of New York City. Elsewhere, tornadoes and hail menace the globe, leading to international disasters on an extraordinary level.
Emmerich, who has proven to be a master of big-budget cinematic destruction on numerous occasions, aims to outdo himself with THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. Here entire cities are ripped apart, flooded, and/or frozen, adding up to one of the biggest disaster movies ever filmed. Although astonishingly rendered special effects rule the movie, adept actors such as Quaid and Gyllenhaal (along with Sela Ward, Ian Holm, Emmy Rossum, and others) turn in solid performances that help to balance out the meteorological mayhem. Surprisingly, Emmerich also uses the film as a vehicle for clever moments of social and political commentary, making THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW admirably smarter and considerably more entertaining than typical Hollywood blockbusters.
Comments:
LOVED this movie, and have watched it now about a million times or so, it keeps being awesome :)
Some things annoy me a bit in the movie though, it's called stupidity.
Sam's father goes out rushing to him, he knows very well with the immediate freezing, so why doesn't he take for example something witch burns and is very hot with him?
He just HAPPENS to find by sheer luck a stove and that weak flame keeps him then safe?
Also the story is more based on a family situation more-over then in general effect, only at the end, you see that more people have survived and all.
Besides that, truely amazing, best disaster movie i've seen in a long time.
Definately Recommendable. A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
