Advantages: Great special effects and good interesting characters.
Disadvantages: I wasn't to keen on the ending and also felt that some things were cut out.

...this one and after seeing the trailer it was on my top 10 list of films to see. Though I actually was going to see Harry Potter on that day but it was sold out. The film opened in the US with a very respectable $70 Million Dollars into the number 2 spot of the Box Office as Shrek 2 still was hoilding the no 1 slot on it's second week and totaling up $238 Million. 'Day after Tomorrow' was made on a $125 Milion budget so it will easily get it's ... Read review

Advantages: Special effects galore
Disadvantages: Everything else is substandard

...one of my jaunts to the cinema and it immediately appealed to me. Disaster movies are a tricky genre, even the most noted such as 'The Poseidon Adventure' and 'The Towering Inferno' haven't exactly gone down as classics. Aside all of this, I was still hopeful, Jake Gyllenhaal (a male lead) starred in one of my favourite ever movies 'Donnie Darko' and with Hollywood maturing 20 years or so since the last big time disaster flick, I was sure this movie ...

Advantages: Great special effects
Disadvantages: Not very special performances

...witnessing a massive chunk of the Antarctic Ice Shelf breaking off, climatologist Jack Hall is very worried. Prolonged global warming has come full circle and is set to cause global cooling. A series of freak weather conditions around the world (heavy snowfall in Delhi and giant hailstones in Tokyo) herald the beginning of a huge storm that will usher in the next Ice Age. He warns the US government, but his advice goes unheeded. Then New York floods, ... Read review

Advantages: A good film with great special effects
Disadvantages: A little predictable in places

Advantages: Stunning effects
Disadvantages: Some questionable scenes; plot lines

The “Other” film blockbuster released last holiday weekend has to be “The Day After Tomorrow”. Directed by Roland Emmerich, (who directed Independence Day and Godzilla), this film is somewhat different from his previous blockbusters – in that this plot is much closer to a real issue facing the world today – that of global warming. Certificate 12A and with a run time of 124 minutes, the film is set in the present day. The fact that it is not decades ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent Special effects
Disadvantages: A slightly saggy second half

...for years now, claiming that the damage we have done to Planet Earth will be our downfall. The Day After Tomorrow takes that threat seriously, and pits Scientist Jack Hall against the weather. When the Polar Ice Capsules start to melt, Jack tries to warn the governments in the Northern Hemisphere that within years humanity will face destruction. Naturally, the powers that be dont believe him. As Jack's son Sam takes off to New York with his classmates ... Read review

Advantages: Looks fantastic, Decent soundtrack, easily enjoyable for the weather effects
Disadvantages: The story line is so bland and one dimensional, You couldnt care less about the characters

...finally sat down to watch the Day After Tomorrow last night. I’ve read a number of reviews on it, with opinion seemingly split down the middle. I’d really put off seeing it as I wasn’t entirely convinced I’d really enjoy it all that much. It was the special effects that convinced me to watch it in the end. I’ve spoken to a number of people about it and although the opinion on the film varied they all seemed to say the same thing about the special ... Read review

Advantages: special fx, story idea
Disadvantages: all the garbage thrown into the original story

The Day After Tomorrow is not, by anyone’s standards, typical Hollywood fare. I mean sure, they churned out some weather horror stories (most notably The Perfect Storm), but to turn global warming into a top 10 film worldwide and to make it an action flick on top of that, is no easy feat. The film, written and directed by Roland Emmerich stars Dennis Quaid as Jack Hall, a paleoclimatologist who’s area of expertise concerns weather changes ... Read review

Advantages: Great effects.... The cast try, even if they do usualy fail.
Disadvantages: Has horrible pacing and a boring plot.

...bloody rain cloud strike at the most inappropriate of moments, and if that is such a popular scenario, then THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW could have been a very relatable film. I mean, sure, in true Hollywood tradition it is a highly exaggerated version of that situation, but you can still imagine the frustration of a character as one minute he's on a school trip trying to get in with the girl of his dreams and the next he's drowning in a flooded out library. ...

Advantages: Excellent SFX and thought provoking
Disadvantages: The Hollywood ending

The next time you relax at home and think to yourself,'I know I think I'll burn some fossil fuel', think again, as who knows what could happen tomorrow. The concept of our misuse of planet earth has been highlighted on numerous occasions and the 'greenhouse effect' that delivers us hotter summers and harsher winters stands as a testament to our destruction of the ozone layer and all that that will bring with it. The idea here follows this train ... Read review

Advantages: Very futuristic, makes a very moralistic point whci should brin the messgae home
Disadvantages: very fantastical

...people's reviews and many of the comments include 'poor acting', 'not very realistic' and 'a shabby plot'. But I think if you look at the directors aim of this particular movie, i don't think that the quality of the acting was meant to be ( not to be insulting) in line with the acting or 'realism' of many hollywood movies and their stars. Lord of the Rings was a fantastic film and has been recognised as so because of the special effects and the ... Read review
