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!

 Great Video! June 28, 2008
This was a great video! It shipped fast from Amazon and since it's a Blu-Ray movie, it looks even better than the original DVD.
 An Excuse To Overdo SFX June 21, 2008
The Day After Tomorrow was that movie that was simply made as an excuse to have a 2 + hour film filled with ridiculously over the top special effects. The story is nothing to write home about which is really what killed this movie, actually the whole story seemed very cliche as a climatologist races against time in order to convince the world and the government that they need to change their ways or global warming will destroy the Earth. Obviously this was a sensitive subject matter as even now the mass media are still quite hysterical over the possibility of a new Ice Age thanks to global warming.
Dennis Quaid plays Jack Hall the climatologist who once he learns that the climate shift that will bring the new Ice Age is coming much faster than expected, he's in a race against time to make it to New York to be with his son but he may be too late as the oceans rise at a rapid rate flooding New York in a matter of minutes. The real question is, will his son survive and will he make it to New York. Yes, that's it, that's the entire story in a nutshell, there's no other real story apart from a mild mannered love story between Sam Hall (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Laura Chapman (Emmy Rossum) but again that's nothing to really go on about.
Overall this is quite a mediocre film with, sure great effects but apart from that it's really nothing special. If you enjoy films with great effects and not much depth then you may enjoy this, but if you're looking for a film with even a half decent story then this is something you shouldn't really waste your time on.
The day after tommorow June 4, 2008
the movie takes the facts and twist them to the extreme.The special effects are great.
 plausible aside May 26, 2008
I liked the movie and have watched it more than 10 times. I like disaster flicks. I didn't have problems with caring for the characters. No movie is perfect, dialog like in ALL movies has its moments but it is entertaining. Different than the asteroid coming to destroy the earth movies. Was a change from that.
This movie was meant for hi def! May 13, 2008
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!
