When this movie first came out I had no desire to go see it at all. I had seen the long TV trailer they ran and was not excited in the least by it. Then the reviews came in for it and they weren’t very glowing. Then something really cool happened. ...
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: Good cast. Great special effects. Entertaining movie. Cons: Flat characters. Cast wasn't used to their potential.
There are several movies due out sometime this summer that I want to see. The Day After Tomorrow is one of the movies I have been wanting to see. I've seen the previews several times and thought it looked interesting. I was able to see it ...
Pros: Neat special effects. Cons: Pretty boring - definitely some corny dialog.
The ending of school. The warming of the weather. The beginning of the Summer blockbuster. Yes, today was that day. The first real blow 'em up/scare 'em to death movie has been released. Although the blow 'em up is really mother nature and not ...
Pros: The concept held my attention for 15 minutes. Cons: Dumb acting, dumb development of the idea.
I recently saw ‘The day After Tomorrow’ in a theatre in India and found myself thoroughly bored after 30 minutes. Here is why. The Plot: The plot of the movie is actually interesting. In a conference held at some future date in ...
Pros: There's not particularly bad about the film... Cons: ... it's just that there's very little good about it.
There are three things you would expect from a film made by the people who gave us Independence Day: 1/ A plot that thinks it’s cool and clever but borders on the idiotic more than once, 2/ Impressive special effects 3/ Unbelievably ...
Pros: Fantastic effects, entertaining film. Cons: Mediocre acting.
I couldn’t resist. “Hey Barbara!” Wanna go see a movie tonight?” “Sure! What do you want to see?” “The Day After Tomorrow.” “Oh, I thought you wanted to go tonight.” "I do" “OK, then, What do you want ...
Pros: The special effects were worth seeing on the big screen. Cons: Bland acting, predictable plot, and boring storyline.
Today I went to view the highly hyped disaster flick The Day After Tomorrow. I admit I love disaster movies and I was especially looking forward to seeing the Hollywood sign being wiped out by magnum tornadoes, who wouldn't? Dennis ...
Pros: The big budget effects are phenomenal, brisk pace and rousing action sequences galore. Cons: Clichéd characters dominate the proceedings; you'll have to suspend disbelief for ninety minutes.
Leave it to catastrophe guru Roland Emmerich to kick off the summer movie season with the ridiculously absurd, but highly entertaining, natural disaster escapade, The Day After Tomorrow. The film so often gets caught up in its own ludicrousness ...
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: Good balance between special effects and human interaction, serious good action. Cons: Some cliche's!
By now if you have not heard of the growing global warm phenomenon, you are either a hermit, or just very ill-informed. It is the scientific debate of the new century, and with the recent Russian Parliament’s approval of the Kyoto Protocols on ...
Pros: Awesome special effects Cons: Nothing comes to mind
Laura Chapman: Everything I've ever cared about, everything I've worked for, it's all been in preparation for a future that no longer exists. I know you always thought I took the competition too seriously. You were right. It was all for nothing. ...
Pros: Special Effects, acting, good story Cons: none that I can think of
Where will you be the day after tomorrow? I sure know where I will be, sipping a drink on the beaches of Cancun. Enjoying the weather, and not worrying about being frozen where I stand. But, maybe I should be happy, because one of these disaster ...
Pros: Nice FX, Gyllenhaal & Quaid, suspense, a few touching subplots. Cons: Dare I say, kinda boring?
Nothing pacifies a misanthropic audience (of which inevitably, I am a part) like good old mass destruction. Who needs weapons when we have Nature, cores, asteroids and aliens? Well, The Day After Tomorrow gets the unenviable honor of being the ...
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: Sights and sounds of an extreme nature. Cons: The story is a bit thin and cool.
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW is a cinematic triumph of special effects mixed with a predictable plot and a not-so subtle political/environmental message. In other words, even though this movie is about a storm, don’t expect Shakespeare’s ...
Pros: Excellent special effects, none too subtle stabs at current government officials. Cons: The less you actually THINK during the movie, the better.
You know the time of year it is when the weather gets as hot as a Louis Armstrong recording and the movies start getting more and more into special effects. Each year, at Memorial Day, we find ourselves welcomed to the summer blockbuster season with a ...
Pros: Some nifty special effects. Cons: Laughable script, direction and performances.
I've had to say good-bye to two more of the little girls questing to be named the Shirley Temple of the new millenium on my new reality television show, American Idyl. They simply could not give our viewers the realism my production demands in ...
Back in the summer of 1998, the Hollywood hype machine was kicking up a right royal shitstorm that reached almost apocalyptic levels. Go
dzilla
vs Armageddon. The old hand Roland Emmerich V new kid on ...
Pros: Great effects, lots of action in the first half Cons: The wolves part, too many undeveloped characters
The Day After Tomorrow is a new environmentalist thriller from the people who did Stargate, Independence Day, Godzilla, and The Patriot. It combines a lot of elements from Independence Day and Twister, but isn’t quite as good as either movie. However, ...
Pros: Well, Quaid and Holm are old pros, but hardly well-utilized. Cons: Ha! Plot, script, direction, pace, lack of plausibility, acting, self-importance.
If writer/director Roland Emmerich (would-be king of the disaster flick genre) had set out to make a laugh-out-loud comedy with The Day After Tomorrow, well, he’d have something to be proud of. This global warming (and paradoxical freezing) ...
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: When people die, its pretty fun. Cons: When it tries to be moving, it kills the movie.
The Day After Tomorrow is one of those movies... you see it, you watch it, you tell everybody you saw it, and then... you don't really know what to say. Parts of the movie are fun enough to make you want to love it, and other parts are retarded ...
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!" ...
In the grand tradition of summer blockbusters, The Day After Tomorrow continues our human obsession and fascination of watching our race get either blown to bits, hunted by aliens, or in this case, taken over by Mother Nature herself. The premise, in ...
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: Gyllenhaal, storyline, special effects Cons: Quaid, some script points
Roland Emmerich. What can be said about a guy who’s made many of the world’s biggest pictures like the remake of Godzilla and the classic Independence Day? He’s a genius when it comes to what movies he chooses to do. In early ...
Pros: My Stuart got to cure his insomnia for two hours. Cons: Where do I begin? 15 word Max? Acting? Lack of Authenticity?
This movie is the bomb of the decade. I have not seen a movie worse than this since I was first taken to see Kentucky Fried Movie. It is so bad I just don't know where to start. The Day After Tomorrow. That title does imply a future doesn't it? ...
Warning: I’m going to give away details about the end of the movie. I don’t think that this is the kind of movie that relies too much on plot anyway, but I felt I’d warn you. I’ve never really been a big fan of disaster movies. I just ...
Pros: Sorry Emmerich - try the fuck again. Cons: EVERYTHING
It is too easy to call forth a deluge of metaphors relating this tidal wave of cinematic crap with the catastrophic climatoligical events that are its main attraction. But, The Day After Tomorrow is just the blizzard of bullshit that can ...
Pros: A really fun disaster flick. Cons: Some stupid situations. Feel free to laugh.
I found myself totally blown away as I sat through the latest SFX-laden sci-fi disaster movie, "The Day After Tomorrow." It's a bit hard to sit and watch with apathy as you see your home -- in my case, New York City -- being devastated by the terrific ...
Pros: special effects, Harald Kloster's haunting score, campy elements (the wolves) Cons: bad-bad dialogue, too many subplots and guaranteed “safe” characters
Roland Emmerich’s “The Day After Tomorrow” is not at all about the day after tomorrow, but instead the day before tomorrow, and finally tomorrow. And along the way to tomorrow we are treated to several sub-plots of main characters assuring us that even ...
Pros: Acting, Special Effects, Plotline Cons: Spends too much time on the middle, not enough on the end
I’ve made no secret of the fact I live in Invercargill, the closest city to Antarctica. We’re located right at the bottom of New Zealand. The weather is cold, windy, raining – and that was just summer. We had 8o Celsius recently, which is considered warm ...
Pros: enjoyable disaster scenes... Cons: cliche-ridden...and then there's those digitally created wolves?
Hollywood’s latest doomsday thriller, “The Day After Tomorrow”, has finally been released on video. Just when everyone thought they’d seen it all, comes the digital special FX movie of the year. Yes, this doomsday thriller is right ...
This is a disaster movie with all the good and bad thing of the genre. The movie is directed and written by Roland Emmerich a man who seems to have some sort of fetish for large scale destruction. He has also directed Independence Day in 1996. and ...
Pros: Superb visual effects; somewhat effective cautionary ramblings Cons: Poorly written characters; papa Emmerich don't preach
Early in THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, Dr. Terry Raspin (Ian Holm) is holed up in a remote, Scottish climate observatory. In the threatening midst of a deep Arctic freeze set to beseige Europe, he patches an SOS to climatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) in ...
Pros: Great effects, a few interesting characters Cons: Over-acting, iffy script
The Day After Tomorrow has garnered some attention for its Independence Day-style depiction of the destruction of major cities. To a lesser-effect, it is successful for some of the same reasons. Jack Daly (Dennis Quaid) is a scientist ...
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: Superb special effects. Jake Gyllenhaal. Cons: Most everything else. Script. Triteness. Melodrama. Etcetera.
(NOTE: Major spoilers only appear in the clearly marked paragraph.) Eight years ago, director Roland Emmerich exploded onto the mainstream movie scene with the summer blockbuster Independence Day, starring Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum. Now ...
Pros: Awesome special effects Cons: Infantile plot and poor acting
~ ~ The mad cabbie and daughter went to watch the latest in a long line of Hollywood ‘Armageddon’ movies last night, the new blockbuster “The Day After Tomorrow” (henceforth DAT) from Director Roland Emmerich, who also gave us such classics ...
Pros: Very, VERY good special effects which I think saved the movie from its story line. Cons: Some of the ideas presented in the movie are a little whacko.
I just watched this movie on DVD and I still don't know what to make of it. I am used to disaster movies. There have been tons of them over time such as The Towering Inferno and The Poseidon Adventure and Earthquake. It seemed like from the '50's on down ...
Pros: special effects, comparatively tight pacing, and pretty funny Cons: predictable plot, no character development
Empty your bladders and dress warmly. You are about to go for a wet and cold ride. Plot Summary: Paleo-climatologist Jack Hall (played by Dennis Quaid) believes that man-made global warming can have dire consequences. Unfortunately, the ...
Pros: Odd entertainment factor Cons: The film preaches more than a southern reverend
Roland Emmerich, the ultimate hit and miss director of all time. Perhaps Ed Wood with a big budget? Now, I almost feel bad to give this film a negative review. I like Roland Emmerich as a person, and he's always managed to make entertaining, though ...
Pros: the astounding visuals and superb editing Cons: it's a disaster film. Fill in your own cons based on genre expectations.
I hate it when advertisers grovel, and I also hate it when political grandstanding becomes the order of the day in a movie. This happens usually toward the end when a phony moral message is tacked on at the end. Roland Emmerich's latest disaster opera ...
In the new film “The Day After Tomorrow” a bitter chill will envelope the audience as they realize that they have just spent money to watch one of the worst films in history. This is the reaction that many unsuspecting theatergoers are going to have this ...
Pros: Incredible visual effects. Decent, but not stand-out acting. Cons: Paper thin story. Cliche and cardboard cut-out characters. Stilted dialogue.
I've been interested in seeing The Day After Tomorrow since I saw the first trailer. Even from the very little revealed in that teaser, I knew I had to see this movie. Well, I've just walked through the door not 15 minutes ago, and I wanted to ...
Pros: Extreme closeup with the forces of nature - a gift of modern day special effects Cons: Story line exposes its weakness and plot is predictable
After the “TWISTER” twisting the city of Oklahoma and the purulent “VOLCANO” shaking the Los Angeles, the “THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW” has caused a mass exodus due to the coming of the ice age and the crowds from all over the world ...
Pros: Special Effects, not much else. Cons: No Plot, little character development, far-fetched science that is meant to be real.
It is quite hard to believe why some conservative commentators (i.e. Matt Drudge) have felt so threatened by this film. It is quite easily a work of fiction. It is quite silly to thi
