The Day After Tomorrow
The Day After Tomorrow is mindless entertainment with cool effects worth renting once.
I go to seeThe Day After Tomorrowthe day after I sawVan Helsing , so that may have slanted my review of this flick towards the positive . suppose eating a unmistakable Mcdonalds ground beef soon after being give Castor Oil , and you ’ll have a common sense of what I ’m talking about .
I ’d have to equate this moving-picture show to eating a act of cotton confect . It tastes fine , but five minute later you bury about it .
Ok , enough with the intellectual nourishment analogies .
If you get across on the image above , you ’ll see a large version of what was believably the dependable scene in the motion picture . The implosion therapy of NYC , and the giant waving rushing towards the library in finicky , was done in such a manner that it did express some tension and inflammation to the film . That scene and the tornadoes wiping out LA were worth the price of ( a matinee ) admission .
Beyond that , pretty stock fare : Lone scientist who the government does not believe warns of end of the world if we do n’t exchange our ways . I suppose the twist is that he ’s more right than evenhethought , with tragedy arriving within Clarence Day alternatively of C of year . His semi - estranged son gets take in in New York City and the pappa vow to go bump him .
With Jake Gyllenhaal encounter the shy , brilliant son with a crush on the pretty girl ( Emmy Rossum ) , I kept getting flashbacks to the first half ofSpiderman . He prompt me too much of Peter Parker for me to really see him as a unique character .
The environmental awareness message in the celluloid was slathered on with a boastful spatula , and in case youstilldidn’t get it , at the end of the plastic film a words is made to the world telling us that we need to " change our ways " .
Little recently for that , don’cha think?Afterthe new Ice Age hits , I imply ? Personally I think I ’d be want to burn a heck of a lot of fossil fuels right about then . :-)
One thing I might have been imagining … it seemed to me that the President ( level - headed , listen - to - the - scientist cat ) had a bit of an Al Gore wait to him while the Vice - President ( the - economy - is - more - important - than - the - surround guy ) looked to me like a crossing between Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld .
The Day After Tomorrow is a Roland Emmerich disaster movie, which imagines a catastrophic global climate shift that plunges the world into a new ice age. Dennis Quaid stars as paleoclimatologist Jack Hall, with Jake Gyllenhaal playing his son, Sam, as they face world-ending tornadoes, floods, and a massive storm system.
Coincidence ? I think not …
It ’s mindless entertainment , worth checking out on the openhanded CRT screen at a matinee Leontyne Price if you have a couple of time of day to kill . I hazard I ’d target this between Roland Emmerich’sGodzilla(awful ) andIndependence Day(fun popcorn ruffle ) .
I would n’t step on it out to buy the DVD , though .
