When global warming triggers the onset of a new Ice Age, tornadoes flatten Los Angeles, a tidal wave engulfs New York City and the entire Northern Hemisphere begins to freeze solid. Now, climatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), his son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) and a small band of survivors must ride out the growing superstorm and stay alive in the face of an enemy more powerful and relentless than any they've ever encountered: Mother Nature!

Summary: Good News MST3K Fans -- Rifftrax Is Here!
Comment:
Leave your Prius in the garage and cash out your carbon debts! It's time to watch the end of the world, which is our fault of course, as RiffTrax Presents Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy's razor-sharp political analysis of The Day After Tomorrow - which, by my reckoning, at least for today, may also be called Friday (day of the week may vary in your area; check your local calendar).
Director Roland Emmerich lends his usual subtle style to this story of a world in which we should constantly feel guilty for driving to get the pizza instead of walking. Dennis Quaid stars as hard-driven scientist Harrison Ford, who discovers that a humble meteorologist, given enough power, can kill us all. Jake Gyllenhaaaal sizzles as the guy they get when Toby Maguire is busy, and his congenital smirk lights up the screen. Ian Holm adds the weensy bit of English charm that makes the other performances go down like overdone rump roast. An ethnically balanced mob of nobodies rounds out the cast, but a special mention is merited for Kenneth Welsh, who plays a Cheney-esque Vice President so bilious, so bitter and acrid, that his performance actually eats a hole in the floor.
Enjoy safely - and remember that downloading RiffTrax actually helps to save the environment! As soon as we figure out how, we'll get back to you.

Summary: Quality flick. Kindly disregard reviews complaining...
Comment: ...about whether we have or have not caused harm to our planet. The movie is not heavy handed nor does it attribute much blame to any one group. It's just a good, quality disaster flick that is fun to watch. Most disaster flicks kind of suck but I've actually watched this several times and I can't say that about many movies. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. Oh, and this is best to watch on a cold day...just adds a certain ambiance that lets you associate with the characters more.

Summary: I won't say anything about the environmental message, but it is fun to watch
Comment: While I consider myself reasonably environmentally friendly, I never did pay much attention to all the political hulabaloo that surrounded this film. In fact, I never even bothered to see it until it came to DVD.
And I will happily say that this is a movie worth keeping around, assuming you are one of those people that love a good fluffy adventure every now and then. I know I do, and the wild special effects and insane plot twists are enough to keep me happy. Warning or not, it's fun, fairly mindless entertainment that just looks freaking cool.

Summary: global dumbing
Comment: Ronald Emmerich makes the kind of movies it would be better if we had a lot less of. INDEPENDENCE DAY, GODZILLA, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW....Robert Emmerich = dumb, big, loud, silly entertainment for the masses during summer time. I wish Hollywood would get a little more ballsy and start moving away from their tired mega-budget summer blockbuster strategy and invest just a little more capital in different projects. They would learn there is money in making better movies. ANYWAY, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW is absurd and unless Americans are as dumb as apparently talk radio hosts seem to think their listeners are, this film does not work very well as propaganda for environmentalists. Actually to the extent environmental activists are linked to wacky movies like this they are regarded as extremists and crazy by much of the public. Well that's my take. Right-wing radio would go outta business if they didn't have Hollywood to demonize and whine about all day long like victimized babies. Anyway, "liberal" Hollywood is mostly about money, not ideas --whether the ideas be artistic, scientific, or even political and that's clear enough with THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. But I digress: THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW sucks because it takes itself too seriously. If it were somehow done with a wink and a nod we could be in on the joke but it's not. An absurd disaster popcorn flick might could work well if it recognized it's own utter preposterousness. This one is done as they all too often are with the pretense that this scenerio could realistically happen in the real world but obviously that's nonsense and we're supposed to what? Suspend disbelief? But I don't want to. We're not supposed to laugh at it and not supposed to take it too seriously, obviously. We are to enjoy the "eye candy" and dim plot and dialogue but I'm not going to just enjoy CGI storms and buildings falling apart because I've seen it before and I sure have experienced enough mediocre story telling in my day.
"Emmerich obviously doesn't care if the science is flimsy, so why should you? --Jeff Shannon"
Gee, I don't know really. "It's just a movie" and so whatever.
