The Day After Tomorrow (DVD 2004)

Look people, what it comes down to is this: you don't go to an "end of the world" movie for the plot. You go for the special effects. And I can honestly say these are some of the best special effects I've ever seen in my life.

I work a lot with computer graphics, and can distinguish them (AND miniatures) by sight. This movie blends them seamlessly. The only other movie I've seen that does that is Lord of the Rings. If you want to see a movie that makes you believe that what's happening is real, watch this. If all you care about is plot, there are better choices.

I give this movie a 9 based on exactly what I expected of it. Mindboggling visuals.

Hope you've got a big-screen and surround sound. You're gonna need it.

I've seen the main actor in a film called 'frequency' and thought that was good so I decided to buy it and found it was an excellent film.

I have mixed feelings about this film but overall it's worth watching. My reservations is that I felt like it had all been done before. Yet another disaster movie where America saves the planet! The plot was a bit predictable but the reason I gave this a 4 star is that it does make you think as what happens is possible (although I am no science genius it is common sense). The effects on this movie are really great too and I did find myself shouting at some of the characters (you always get stupid people in disaster movies) as they quite clearly making bad choices!

I saw this being advertised about a month before it's release and i could not wait to see it. Roland Emmerich directs this fantastic epic. It's special effects are amazing.
Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid, Inner Space, The Parent Trap) is a climatologist who is suspicious that an ice age is going to strike the earth but he is not believed. But when tornadoes strike Los Angeles and a tidal wave floods Manhatten while Japan and all countries around the world are hit by blizzards, giant hailstones etc, they start to believe him.

Jack's son, Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal, Donnie Darko) is trapped in New York in a pubilc library with many others. Jack finds out where he is and sets out on a brave mission to find him.

Will Sam and the other people of New York be frozen to death by the ice age? Will Jack find his son before it's too late??

The performances in this are fantastic and could not of been acted better. Overall a fantastic movie directed by the man who directed, Independence Day and Godzilla.

Definitly one to buy.

makes you sit back and think that "wow" this could really happen in todays world of global warming, we'd be in real trouble if it did the devestation almost irrepairable, amazing scenes fantastic film work great actors it ends a little abruptly but thinking on it this is so you can sit back and think about how on earth you would rebuild your lives and your homes if it really was to happen have watched this film many times after originally seeing it at the cinema when it first came out really brings the global warming issues home to you

terrific effects, unpleasant characters all of them, mangy script.
What happened afterwards did the population of the USA all starve to death.
Why did not the sea level fall.

the best thing about the film it shows global walming and the possibilities that it may cause it is like a documentary but with a plot that will keep you on the edge of you seats. some may not like this film because of the deaths in this film but it is very mild. the best scene in this film is when the soldiers are on a helicopter trying to rescue the queen, and the helicopter roters start to slow and then they relise that the fuel has frozen in the tank, and by the time they land all but one of the men have died, and the one who is alive steps out of the helicopter and is frozen on the spot.

The Day After Tomorrow' has everything you expect from a disaster movie: personal dramas set against apocalyptic mayhem; lots of scenes set in control rooms (with no-one in control); recognisable public monuments being torn apart/flooded/buried under snow/snapfrozen; and episodes so preposterously daft that you just have to love them, as when Jack (Dennis Quaid) feels the need to explain the relationship between the North Atlantic current and the world's climate to a room full of meteorological experts, or when Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) and his friends outrun a towering wall of water (and later a fast-moving coldsnap). Silliest of all is the realisation that Jack has undertaken his journey not to save the good burghers of New York, nor even just to save his own son, but rather simply to prove that he can for once keep an appointment - making the final scenes of this film hilariously anticlimactic, as our hero is left with literally nothing to do except grin.

It Needs To be seen (and heard) in a decent cinema - without its scale, there would be little left but cheese.

This is an excellent movie, and a real eye opener of the "what ifs" regarding global warming. However, even with it's in your face message, the movie manages to be action packed and touching at the same time. I had only seen this movie once before I bought it but it had a lasting impact on me that I wanted to add it to my collection.

It is an exellent film and so close to reality if we carry on destroying our world. scary yet but true.
This film will make you think about how we treat this planet.
I highly recomment this film.

There have been so many disaster movies made about the end of the world (Deep Impact, Armaggeddon, etc) and this looks at it from a slightly different point of view. One in fact where man is partly to blame as the environment takes over. I'm not 100% a believer in Global Warming theories so this was a different vierw of what could happen and is backed up by some scientific theories, although only thinly. Again, a good cast hold the story together but there are parts of the film where you will be thinking "why do that there?" I can't really put it fully into words but you do end up feeling like there was just something missing that would have made this an excellent film, rather than just a good film that you can watch a few times. That said, if you are a fan of disaster movies then this is certainly one of the better ones

I loved the topical nature of the basic premise - that Environmental Change is THE thing we should be focussed on. I am forgiving of the "Hollywood effect" that rational science is compressed into days rather than years or months, to accelerate the storyline and build the tension. I bought it on recommendation of friends, and was not sorry. What I really recommend is FIRST watching "An Inconvenient Truth" by AL GORE, which does an excellent job of positioning Climate Change, in more of a factual documentary style, then taking in the experience of this DVD as based on this.

I love this film and really wanted it, so therefore I walk around all the local shops that we have here and they were all pretty expensive. So I came onto your website and had a look for this film, and i was very happy to see that not only was it cheaper then the high street but I got it delivered to my address..

“The Day After Tomorrow” (henceforth DAT) is directed by Roland Emmerich, who also gave us such classics as “Independence Day” and “Godzilla”.
In DAT Emmerich has had New York and various other American cities rapidly rebuilt after their practically total destruction in his other movies, in order to be able to destroy them all over again, this time not by alien attack, but by dramatic changes in the weather, which sees the whole of the Northern hemisphere plunged into a new Ice Age in the space of a couple of weeks.

If you’re wondering about a plot, then I just gave it to you in my last sentence. Emmerich has taken the theme of global warming, which we are all warned about on almost a daily basis in the media, and accelerated the process beyond either recognition or credibility, to produce a doomsday scenario of epic proportions.
Tornados lash Los Angeles, (even having the temerity to tear down the famous ‘Hollywood’ sign!) there’s snow in New Delhi, hailstones the size of golf balls in Tokyo, and tidal waves in New York. And all this is only a precursor to the coming of the New Ice Age, which strikes at lightning speed, fast freezing everything in its path with temperatures as low as 150 degrees Centigrade!

There’s a sub-plot of sorts, or storyline if you will.
Dennis Quaid plays palaeoclimatologist (some job title, no!) Jack Hall, who suspects that something is drastically wrong with our weather, when huge chunks of the Antarctic ice shelf the size of Rhode Island start dropping off into the ocean. He addresses the United nations to give them due warning, but is (of course) totally shot down in flames by the unbelieving and sceptical politicos, including a Dick Cheyney look alike of a Vice President called Becker, (Kenneth Welsh) who thinks he’s madder than a March hare, and the oil producing nations who are (naturally) unwilling to give up their huge profits.
He finds a supporter for his mad theories in a British scientist called Professor Rapson, (Ian Holm) who is concerned about the rapid fall in water temperature in the Atlantic Ocean currents. Of course, nobody thinks that events are going to advance so rapidly, thinking that they have around a 100 to 1,000 years to put things to rights.

In fact, it’s only days before things begin to go drastically wrong with the world’s weather, giving Emmerich the opportunity to scare the bejaysus out of the lot of us with his totally amazing special effects. They really are awesome, and for these alone the DAT has to be a ‘must see’ movie.

What I found particularly interesting about DAT is the way mankind generally (and especially we in the Western World) seem to have an ongoing and completely insatiable appetite for movies about our imminent destruction and extinction. Ever since Hollywood started churning out films they have fed this appetite on a constant basis. It’s almost as if we all have some sort of in-born racial memory of Armageddon, and are sitting in our comfortable homes waiting for God, science, (the new God in today’s secular society) or nature to wake up to our annoying presence on the planet and rectify the mistake!

Taken as a whole DAT is a profoundly silly movie, with a childish plot and wooden acting. But yet it stirred up a hornet’s nest of comment in the world’s media in regard to the question of global warming, and in particular the refusal of the USA to accede to the Kyoto Treaty. It’s basic premise is sound, even if the science is obviously flawed.

If you like a film with plenty of digital effects and stunning screne play then this is the one for you

The day after tomorrow is a hard hitting and realizing film, a great watch and defo one for your DVD collection. Although i felt that this film did start off slow, is rapidly picked up when the disasters start, the special effects are amazing, a lot of time, effort and work as gone into this film and you can see that from the final outcome.

Saw it at the cinema and loved it. Was fairly cheap to buy on e bay. Good quality DVD an original copy.

realy fantastic film, just hope it is not something that would come true lol There are some funny bits in it, some love, and some bits that make you think. As i say a very good film

Brilliant CGI special effects, hence the 3 stars.

However, the screenplay is so cheesy and full of incredibly irritating characterisations based on cliche,and a frankly unbelievable sub-plot,one has to wonder how it ever got made.

Which is an immense shame, because the film storyline is actually based on factual science relating to one particular hypothesis about the potential threat from global warming. This film could have been so much better with a more thoughtful, believable screenplay, and could have served as a positive driving force for serious debate about the way we are tackling global warming, presenting us with the frightening reality we could face within our lifetime if we do not act now. Instead, it's far too much of a lame duck, crossing the divisions between fact,fiction and soap opera as it limps along it's own convoluted plotline, eventually disappearing up it's own anticyclone!!!

Still, worth watching on a rainy day just for those special effects.

A very unlikely and over dramatised warning of the likely results of climate change. A few 'scientific' explanations well thought up but not based on any type of real evidence. Having said that the thought of a film depicting catastrophic climate change over several hundred or several thousand years would be very boring so hats off to the writers. Various story lines linked together well. If you enjoy a good disaster movie this is the one for you.

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!!!

the dvd was cheaper than the shops and i saved my money and it was my first purchase and i wanted to buy a cheap item thank you 2006 eugenieh

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+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
