Advantages: A good film with great special effects Disadvantages: A little predictable in places
...Review of 'The DayAfterTomorrow' DVD.
From the director of Independence Day, Stargate and Godzilla The DayAfterTomorrow was first released on DVD in 2004. The movie genre is Sci-Fi/ action/ adventure/ thriller. The film has a run time of 118 minutes and designated a category 12.
The DVD is a two disc special edition with a whole host of special features, trailers, commentaries, in depth looks behind the scenes and the special effects.
I never watch these to be honest as I find they detract from my enjoyment in the actual movie, therefore I will not pass judgement on this element of the DVD!
Basic plot
the action starts in the first few minutes. Climatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid)is drilling for ice samples on an ice shelf when the ice breaks beneath his feet. Jack is almost killed, he returns the America and then travels...

Advantages: Very futuristic, makes a very moralistic point whci should brin the messgae home Disadvantages: very fantastical
...I have read many other 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 vast crew that have put together the film. It is great in that the plot was already provided by an author which had to be transferred on to film. that particular movie was highly fantastical, about good combating evil. The DayafterTomorrow, addresses the very realistic issue which we 'ourselves' have created- pollution. No Im not a raving Green Party looney but recently...

Advantages: Excellent Special effects Disadvantages: A slightly saggy second half
...Scientists have been citing Global Warming as a threat to humanity for years now, claiming that the damage we have done to Planet Earth will be our downfall. The DayAfterTomorrow 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 for a competition, the weather quickly takes a turn for the worst. Various parts of the Northern world find different weather disasters inflicted upon them. The citizens of a Chinese city are bombarded with giant ice stones raining down on its head, Hollywood is virtually destroyed by cataclysmic twisters, and New York...
