Day After Tomorrow

Pros: Great special effects, important message, good disaster movie.
Cons: Sensationalism dilutes the science. Some flat performances.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004) Directed by Roland Emmerich Jack Hall: Our climate is fragile. The ice caps are disappearing at a dangerous rate. Vice President Becker: Dr. Hall, our economy is every bit as fragile as the environment. ...

Pros: Good cast, great special effects, plot good in parts, entertaining.
Cons: Ending a let down, corny at times, a little predictable towards the end.

As with so many other Sci Fi come Futuristic films, The Day After Tomorrow starts full of promise. However, eventually it becomes predictable and has a somewhat corny end. The film starts in the polar regions of the world with Dennis Quaid, who plays a ...

Pros: Startling cinematography, deep philosophical implications.
Cons: Somewhat wooden acting, a bit overley dramatised.

I have a feeling that reputation of the director haunts them unduly throughout their career. So a mediocre director like Emmerich wouldn't be given credit for a great movie, while great directors would be given too much credit for their mediocre films. ...

Pros: Terrific special effects, and not in small doses either.
Cons: Paper-thin characters doing the dumbest things sometimes.

Too much has been made of this film, in some quarters. No, I am not unaware of the perils of global warming or climate change. Yes, these are real issues with the capacity to make life harder than necessary for our descendants. Yes, sooner rather than ...

Pros: Entertaining, Special Effects
Cons: Predictable Plot

I almost expected Al Gore to play the lead character, but oak trees cannot act. This movie focuses on the hot(pardon the pun) topic of global warming, and how it could effect us in the near future. While I believe this phenomenon is caused partly by cows ...

Pros: Good special effects which are lost on the small screen.
Cons: Boring, predictable scenario.

If not for the fact that I would have had to taken physics I would have probably become a meteorologist. I've been fascinated with the weather literally forever, especially with tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards. However, after watching The Day ...

Pros: Dazzling special effects
Cons: Made for TV script

As a scientist and an ecologist, friends always ask me if this can really happen, which I always answer with an authorative and resounding, "Maybe!" ...

Pros: Special effects
Cons: Lags frequently, bad performances from some actors. Implausible plot.

Wow, I can't believe I stayed up to watch this movie on HBO. It's such a disappointment. The only thing that is worth seeing in this movie is the special effects, that is, the effects for tornadoes -- the snowstorm special effects are typical fake ...

Pros: Great special effects, interesting story line
Cons: Weak relationships, corny script, some parts are just silly

After putting it off for months and months, lack of options at the video store drove me to check out Day After Tomorrow. The overall verdict? Not as bad as a I thought, but kind of silly. The Plot Dennis Quaid plays a Professor Jack ...

Pros: Nice special effects, and Jake Gyllenhaal, though even he struggles here.
Cons: The rest of the cast is terrible, and the screenplay is even worse.

Roland Emmerich has yet to prove much to Hollywood or the whole of the moviegoing community except for that the man likes his violence and can blow up a heck of a lot of stuff without cohering to any sort of logical storyline or fleshed-out cannon ...

Pros: Decent effects. Resonant initial message and tone.
Cons: Too long. Direction. Poorly paced second half were spectacle and individualism negates initial idealism.

Following the commercial success of Independence Day action director Roland Emmerich lost his marbles and directed two of the most magnanimous and rabble-rousing flops of the past decade: Godzilla and The Patriot . Though ...

Pros: Visuals, Scenes and Sound effects.
Cons: Slightly too long

Introduction I usually hate disaster movies - too much pain and cries in them. But, when the nature showed its destructive prowess with the Tsunami that destroyed South East Asia. I decided to check out, Day After Tomorrow, which I was told ...

Pros: The special effects are great
Cons: The plot, script, and mediocre acting

What would happen if the doomsday scientists and political activists were proven correct and the Earth was suddenly overtaken by global climate change? What would happen to the people and the places near the coastline if ocean levels began to suddenly ...

Pros: Great special effects. Decent acting.
Cons: Unbelievable story.

Rated PG-13 Recently I viewed this film for the first time. I had seen the previews on television and thought it would be a fairly decent movie but in reality it was just ok. The acting was good and the plot was tight but the facts used in ...

Pros: Special effects.
Cons: Needed: acting, plot, script, wolves.

This review was written in disgust as an open letter to Roland Emmerich. Dear Mr. Emmerich, You sir, have no shame! The Day After Tomorrow was positively the most pathetic, incomprehensible piece of garbage that has ever been churned out, to date, ...
