Well, let's see.
You get boring cliché characters, a very straightforward and predictable story, CGI-tornados and wolves, huge floods and a Cheney look-alike.
A movie very geared towards fiction, and not science.
So it has a few cool destructive moments tagged with DESPERATE suspention building in the form of people looking all googly eyed at something you can't see. Gets annoying after a while.
Too many scenes that desperately try to be emotional and heartwarming but fail. Mostyly because it's hard to feel anything for a character you've seen for a grand total of 7 minutes.
I had hoped for some more post-apocalypse and less hero-wannabees. DISAPPOINTING. |

Worse than Deep Impact, better than Armageddon... or was it the other way around? Ah, who cares, they're all about the same. |

I enjoyed Armageddon, although the movie has an inconsequent ending. The whole flow of the movie demanded that the Russian had to be the hero! But no, they (Disney ?) ruined the ending and chose the easy way out.

I have to agree with the Neo_Genesis on this one. Very impressive effects and the idea of second(know) ice age was pretty damn good, dire consequences of our actions. We push nature every day for couple of hundreds years, then nature pushes back only once.
As for the plot *father saves son(no impact on the main disaster)* vs. *father saves daughter (and the world)* I take any time.

Typical Hollywood trash. A few weeks ago we get a 2 week long War of Troy with a happy ending instead of a Greek Tragedy. Now we get a 2 week Ice Age.
This summer has produced some of the highest budget comedies in history!!!

I cant wait to see this flick, Ive read some of the most hilarious reviews of it this week. I love bad movies, like "Horror Rises From The Tomb" with Paul Naschy. I just watched it, and loved it. Well, as much love as a barrel-of-laughs type movie can inspire. But I'm not going to take out a personal loan to see "The Day After We Told You So" in theatres, so I'll wait til it hits video. Which should be a couple weeks...
memorable snobby New Yorker review -
"It was around this point that the audience with whom I was sitting began to cackle. There is no more refreshing sound than nineteen hundred people jeering in harmony at someone else’s balderdash. Even by the standards of disaster movies, “The Day After Tomorrow” is irretrievably poor: a shambles of dud writing and dramatic inconsequence which left me determined to double my consumption of fossil fuels. No film in which the villain can be measured with a barometer, and in which the most resourceful response to that villain is, basically, “Wrap up warm and run away,” will ever quite meet our narrative needs. "

Saw the movie. Entertaining, nothing more, nothing less.

Haven't seen it, had no desire. From what I gather, sounds like a standard Roland Emerick(sp?) movie. Big boom, small brain. Why change a winning formula... oh wait, he did (butchered) Godzilla. |

I'd agree with Bartacus... it was entertaining enough... nothing more, and arguably less.
