The Day After Tomorrow (DVD)

When water temperature in the North Atlantic begins to drop significantly it would appear to be a warning of things to come, or at least that’s what Professor Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) thinks. He tries to convince the government that there is a natural disaster on the way but they refuse to believe the theories of a climatologist. Suffice to say Jack is right and soon after, horrendous weather hits the world, engulfing it with water and snow and when ...
...death on the spot. While this natural disaster is occurring, Jack’s son Sam (Jake Gyllehaal) is in New York for a competition with a few friends, when the weather worsens they’re forced to take shelter in a public library and Jack promises to rescue his son… but will he be too late? The Day After Tomorrow is another in a long line of disaster movies with a purpose of playing on peoples sense of reality and paranoia. Much like Armageddon portrayed ...

Review of The Day After Tomorrow (DVD)

I was eagerly awaiting the release of "The Day After Tomorrow" as the previews for the film made it look like an extremely entertaining film with great special effects as a result of the $125million dollar investment made in it. I was proven to be correct and incorrect in my assumptions as you will find out later on. The film is directed by Roland Emmerich who was made famous by such well known films "Independance Day and "The Patriot" (another ...
...of the ovies of the year. Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaul are the two main stars in the film. The acting on their behalf is of a decent standard - I believe the flaws come in the script itself (also written by Emmerich). The storyline is one where ice caps fall into the Atlantic Ocean which therefore reduces the temperature by 13 degrees celcius (i think..) which in turn, dramatically shifts the weather throughout the Northern Hamisphere creating, ...

Review of The Day After Tomorrow (DVD)

The Day After Tomorrow has been billed as one of the best so far this year. Millions of dollars have been spent on it and everyone is talking about it. I find that films that have been hyped up in this way hardly ever live up to expectation, but from seeing the trailer I thought this one looked a bit different, so I went to the cinema to see it on the first night of it’s release. The Day After Tomorrow is directed by Roland Emmerich, he also ...

Jack predicts that this will not happen in our lifetime but it is a worry that will affect our children and grandchildren. The US government won’t listen to his concerns. Nobody expects this to happen so quickly. Jack is kept up to date with the weather ...

Review of The Day After Tomorrow (DVD)

2nd up in the Friday night Film Fest was The Day After Tomorrow. I love disaster movies and imagined this on the same footing as Independence Day and Armageddon. I was a bit disappointed with this though as the focus was more on how many special effects they could fit in rather than the storyline. however for what it was, it was pretty enjoyable and left us debating how we would survive if a similar catastrophe was to occur anytime soon. We came ...
...allegedly have double glazing but the temperature in my house frequently falls below the outside temp and we have a chimney that is big enough to fit 3 Santas down. Anyway, enough about my complete lack of preparation for doomsday. THE FILM: Dennis Quaid plays Climatologist Jack Hall who is working up at the North Pole (or maybe the South) when a large chunk of the ice shelf breaks away. After a little investigation he theorises that the Earth ...

BACKGROUND ********************* I saw the trailer of this movie, and I was quite attracted to it... I found the special effects quite nice and thought that maybe I would go... So last saturday night, I dragged the GF out and off we went to see "The day after tomorrow" PLOT ******** A paleoclimatologist (scientist who studies the ways weather patterns changed in the past), Professor Adrian Hall, tries to inform the world about the dramatic ...
...that if the world doesn't decrease the pollution, a new ice age might arrive in a few hundred years. The US vice-president ignores his warning, considering taking dispositions might costs to much. However, with the melting of the ice of the North pole, the concentration in salt in the ocean drops, and this disturbs a vital water stream, which regulates the Earth's climate. From that, the climate starts to get mad. And it becomes soon obvious that ...

...Climatologist Jack Hall (Quaid) forewarns the Government of an imminent catastrophe, his pleas falling on deaf ears. When things go from bad to worse and its the end of mankind as we know it, Jack sets out to save his son, who happens to be trapped in New York City. After taking a breather with ‘The Patriot’, Roland Emmerich returns to former glory with his latest destruct-athon. This time out mans’ greatest enemy aren’t aliens or mythical creatures, ...
...seen the trailer you’ll know what to expect, hysteria, flag waving and carnage, lots of it. To be fair TDAT actually shows a more restrained approach. An opening shot of a barren white landscape previews the impending desolation, then it’s on with the countdown to all hell breaking loose. Emmerich teases us with hailstorms in Tokyo, sudden drops in temperature and thousands of birds flying south at the same time. Unfortunately the focus on the weather ...

The Day After Tomorrow ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is this a big budget movie with lots of action and scenery? Yes Does it have a fantastic plot? Not really Lots of people I know have complained to me that this film doesn't really have a great plot, but correct if I am wrong in that this is the sort of film that DOESN'T have a great plot; it's not Shakespeare or Tolstoy but rather it's big Hollywood with stunning, ground breaking visual effects that must ...
...love story between two of the young leads. It won't change your life but the Day After Tomorrow is very watchable and definitely worthwhile watching. ~~~~~~~~~ The plot: The main character is Adrian Hall who is played by Dennis Quaid and is a climatologist (if that is a real word!!) who predicts that a massive climate change, similar in effect to that of the last ice will hit the earth at some stage in the future. The only thing that Hall doesn't ...

Review of The Day After Tomorrow (DVD)

Welcome to the film called “The Day After Tomorrow.” The film begins well and we are introduced to the main character, Jack, almost straight away. He is played by well known American actor, Dennis Quaid. Everyone seems to be against Quaid and his well strung series of movies, but here, he is not bad at all. The story is that because of some abnormalities with the sea, freak storms and weather conditions have reached their peak and as ...
...he can be close to the girl he likes. However, its not long before the storms begin to come and one of the best scenes in the film is when a tidal wave floods New York. Whilst the film is not as good as Independence Day, it still boasts some gorgeous effects and some good acting. Sela Ward particularly stands out as Quaid’s girlfriend in the film and her relationship with the boy at death’s door is touching. For those who don’t ...

...to indicate that America is the favoured country. For me, this is not true, I do not favour America and if anything, most of the world does not. But America is where the investment is, America is where Hollywood is. So of course, this disaster film (much like independence day), despite being a global catastrophe, focuses around America, New York in particular... What a coincidence! So this is what's set for the rest of the movie. It's Hollywood ...
...you know where the story will focus around. ------------------------------- The Synopsis ------------------------------- For those who don't know, this movie focuses around a huge shift in global climate. This causes huge temperature drops and lots of snow, storms, freezing. Of course, our story follows the son of one of the criminologists who's predicted the storm. What's that? Someone predicted the change and wasn't listened to? Sound familiar? ...

The Day After Tomorrow is I feel one of the better films of the disaster genre. Right from the beginning the special effects take poll position. We are treated to a roller coaster ride over the Antarctic and then home in on a tiny speck which turns out to be Paleoclimatologist Jack Hall (played by Dennis Quaid) and his two man team. They are drilling for ice core samples. At that point a huge chunk of the ice shelf , the size of Rhode Island, breaks ...

These systems can freeze fuel in seconds at a -150 degrees centigrade. THE MAIN PLOT. I feel the main plot to be the fast approaching cataclysmic weather conditions that will change the face of the earth forever. Jack tries to get the message across but, as is usual in disaster movies, no one wants to ...

In this fim Dennis Quaid plays Proff Hall a paleoclimatologist, (to me and you thats a peron who studies weather).

It had the typical Hollywood exaggerations; -200 degrees chasing people and the tide wave was moving slower than people could run in water!! Furthermore, the fact that the US president remained last in the white house was a joke and I felt that my intelligence was insulted every single second of that scene. He would be the first to be evacuated ...
