Day After Tomorrow

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 ...

Pros: Great FX
Cons: One-dimensional script.

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!" ...

Pros: Nice special effects
Cons: Laugh-out-loud plots, dull acting, boring dialogue

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? ...

Pros: …
Cons: …

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 ...
