Supreme silliness doesn't stop The Day After Tomorrow from being lots of fun for connoisseurs of epic-scale disaster flicks. After the blockbuster profits of Independence Day and Godzilla, you can't blame director Roland Emmerich for using global warming as a politically correct excuse for destroying most of the northern hemisphere. Like most of Emmerich's films, this one emphasizes special effects over such lesser priorities as well-drawn characters and plausible plotting, and his dialogue (cowritten by Jeffrey Nachmanoff) is so laughably trite that it could be entirely eliminated without harming the movie. It's the spectacle that's important here, not the lame, recycled plot about father and son (Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal) who endure an end-of-the-world scenario caused by the effects of global warming. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the awesome visions of tornado-ravaged Los Angeles, blizzards in New Delhi, Japan pummeled by grapefruit-sized hailstones, and Manhattan flooded by swelling oceans and then frozen by the onset of a modern ice age. It's all wildly impressive, and Emmerich obviously doesn't care if the science is flimsy, so why should you? --Jeff Shannon

I doubt the science in this movie lines up like they say it does, but it is still a great story about survival and how you can count on human nature in dire situations. I love movies that make you think about what can happen to our civilization. We try to control so much, and it's nice to be reminded sometimes that we don't have all of the answers!
 Where the hell was Al Gore??? Blu-ray review! February 1, 2010

First off let me upset a few people...GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT REAL! Now let me upset some others...CLIMATE CHANGE IS AND IS HAVING AN IMPACT ON OUR OCEANS. We need to be smart about how we impact the ocean and not really think an ICE AGE is coming. That is why this movie is silly but the visual effects are AMAZING. Is it just me or do the producers love to destroy the planet every chance they get(ID4)? The plot has holes, the acting is decent, the science is self serving, but the action and special effects make this a must see.
NOW FOR MY BLU RAY THOUGHTS: Amazing picture and thumping sound! Exactly how I expected it to look on Blu-ray. Not all spec features are carried over but there are some exclusive to blu-ray. FINAL VERDICT: UPGRADE WORTHY

Like I said with 2012.
Even though I do not believe the world will end at that date, this movie is still great! Because it makes people think, this movie false, not false? The point is that it makes people think about their salvation and could drive people to Christ! Wake Up Call!
Effects are decent, looks pretty much like a movie made for TV. January 13, 2010

Well this is another disaster film, but just not as good as most out there. Compared to Twister, The Core, Deep Impact, and even some of the TV flicks its pretty pale. The idea is kind of clever, but really there isn't much scientific proof to back it up, yes i suppose if the current was messed up by to much fresh water being poured into the ocean from melting polar ice caps we would have a problem. But this is really something we would never see in our life time, as he says in the beginning of the film. Dennis Qaid is a fine actor, not great but good, also Jake Gilenhal is decent, but this film just takes itself to seriously and the script it just pretty bland. Much like a made for TV movie it plays out the same, and the actors pretty much just run through the motions of reading there lines. As usual, like Independence Day no one really believes whats going on, and the politicians are all scarmbling to figure out what they should do about the crisis. Been there done that. Well since this movie came out in 2004 we have had a few more similar movies, but nothing special, The Core i felt was actually more original, but much less plausible than this film. And the acting was also a lot better. Onto the effects, well on blue ray they look well, clearer, and sharper. I wouldnt put them up there with a film like 2012, War Of The Worlds, or even Twister for that matter which was made back in 1996, but they are good for what they are. Debri looks good, and most of the weather looks pretty convincing, but probably the worst part of the film is the water, most of the flooding doesnt look that realistic, as it consumes Manhattan Island and the Statue Of Liberty as well, this has been done a lot of times, this being the worst. The tornadoes look pretty tv-ish when they hit L.A, except for certain parts when they hit building, as i said the after math and things flying through the air look pretty good. I would say the high light of the film is at the end when the Statue Of Liberties arm and torch are sticking up out of the snow, and most of the city is buried in it. So all in all The Day After Tomorrow(which spawned The Weather Channels) It could Happen Tomorrow doesnt really leave a good or bad taste in your mouth after viewing it, its just kind of there, so basically you watch it, say enh not bad, and move on to something else. A decent C+ or a disaster movie sure to rip through the late night features on TV, which the movie looks more like its made for anyway. Could have went straight to DVD actually.

This is a really great movie. It's really rare to have a movie with so many astounding special effects that will make you hold your breath. It's not all about the special effects. This movie has a mind blowing sad and disastrous story. The world is coming to an end, as its getting into a new ice age. Think that not real? Well, experts say this could happen. This movie really gives you something to think about.
