The Day After Tomorrow (DVD 2004)

i loved this film. i bought it for my mums xmas a year ago.
the film really helps you understand the concepts of global warming and the effect it may have on our planet whilst being a great blockbuster at the same time.
the film tells the story of a man studying the effects of global warming, when unexpectidly one weekend, his theories become true. due to the effect global warming has on the climate and weather and mainly in this film, the north atlantic drift, most of the usa europe and many other nothern countries are hit by extreme weather conditions causing a new ice age. unfortunately for him, his son in in nyc stuck in the library where if he were to go outside, he would freeze to death.
this is a great film whether you just like great special effects, blockbuster or you want to know more about the possible causes of global warming. however,n.b, a new ice age is only one of a few main theories of the effects of global warming but the reasons for this happening are well presented in the film.

A Truly FANTASTIC Film! You will NOT be Disappointed.
I Love this film and can easily watch this over & over again.
This FANTASTIC Film has many Special Effects that will keep you on the edge of your seats from begining to end.
Although this Film is Fictional, it does however contain an Element of truth of the Devastating Effects Global Warming can have on our Planet!
With an exceptional Story Line and Excellent Acting about a New Ice Age that flattens the Globe leaving a Few Survivors to face an Enemy more Powerful than they have ever come across.
Definitely one of my Top Choice Films of all time. 101% Recommended.
ENJOY!!!

I just love disaster movies and eagerly awaited the release of ‘The Day After Tomorrow’. I eventually saw it on a flight from the UK and even on that little screen I knew ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ would be joining the ranks of ‘Armageddon’ and ‘Deep Impact’ in my all-time favourite disaster movies collection.
This movie centers its story around global warming and the disastrous effects its having on the planet. Scientists believe that as global warming takes hold the planet will see massive changes in weather patterns. The timeline for these events is sometime in the next 10,000 years. Cue snow in Delhi, tornados in LA, hailstones the size of basketballs in Japan and non-stop rain in Manhattan. The Ice Age is upon us and the US President has to decide how to deal with the mass evacuation of the northern states. Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) has other problems – his son is holed up in the Public Library in downtown Manhattan and although he’s been an unreliable father in the past this time he must get there. But will he make it in time?

The story is the usual disaster movie scenario of man surviving the end of the world but ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ is about the special effects more than the story. The walls of water that hit Manhattan engulf it in seconds. And seeing a tanker sailing down a street in Manhattan…….fantastic!

If you’re a disaster-movie fan you’ll love this. Although the story is predictable and there are some seriously cheesy lines in the script, the special effects more than make up for it.

This is by far one of the best films of this millenia. With a story line that could happen anytime in the future just makes it all the more scary. It really is too close for comfort, buy it, watch it and you will understand what I mean.
