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

- Good video, sound is just a bit muddy
I'm not looking to review the movie since you can get tons of reviews everywhere.All I'll say is that it's a fun movie if you don't take it too seriously.
The video quality of the Blu-Ray edition is really good, good enough that you don't notice it, you just feel like you're in the action.It's as good as being at the theater.The sound quality is also good, but not perfect; in places it's muddy, particularly when there's a lot of weather howling sounds.Dialogue is crisp and easy ...

Rating: - Great special effects, good acting, so-so plot
Okay, I admit it. I'm a sucker for disaster movies. I like "Independence Day". A lot. I cried at "I Am Legend". I have watched "Titanic" more times than is good for me. I like soap operas (at least the way they were back in the 80's).
That said, I really didn't expect a whole lot from this movie. I wasn't a particularly big fan of Dennis Quaid's before watching this movie (with the exception of his performance in "Frequency"). However, his performance was AWESOME. Actually, I felt that all ... Read More
Rating: - Impact Remains
I have watched this movie several times on TV and it never fails to enthrall and frighten me with the awesome possibilities of Nature's forces.I would take the message of our careless abuse of natural resources to heart and since we create the problem of pollution we can find a solution( or several ) to improve the quality of the air we breath and share with all living creatures.Nature can't be controlled completely but we can learn to cooperate as a global community.And just like peace it begins with each ...
