So I saw "The Day After Tomorrow" last night...

It was hillarious, in the same way that "The Onion" is hillarious. The whole thing flowed like a half-assed parody of a disaster movie.

The only good thing I see coming from it is that maybe it'll dawn on people that "global warming" doesn't just mean 60 degree days in December, and that "Al Gore gave a speech on global warming on the coldest day of the year in NYC" is a ridiculous argument to bring up.

I was going to go see it. You just saved me the time & money!

Go see it if you like the genre <----French :)

Don't go to be edumicated about global warming.

Think Independence Day

It has its humoristic value, and the special effects, mixed with salt and butter, go well with the popcorn.

It was pretty funny.

I dunno, though. I thought the effects were pretty cool.

It was a little bit cheesy, but it was an enjoyable movie. Special effects were awesome, especially the tornados ripping through LA.

I actually liked this movie a lot.
In fact, the audience became very quiet after 20 minutes into the movie. Yes, the story is very holywood. But because of good acting, it worked for me.

I also say that the special effect was quite good. Most people came out rather somber looking after the show.

All in all, this movie is good for rasing awareness about global warming. I highly recommend this movie.

Hertopos

I guess it can still raise awareness about global warning and stuff. Except that what the movie predicts is impossible, according to scientists, because the effects of global warming would occur over decades, possibly even centuries.

I actually heard a nice long review of the movie by a scientist - someone had the neat idea to have a scientist review the show instead of a regular movie critic. And he sort of apologetically said you can suspend disbelief and try to enjoy the tale, but that as far as facts go there were pretty much zero to be found in the movie, other than the fact that global warming could lead to colder, not warmer, problems, over decades and/or centuries - not days and minutes.

ITS A RENTAL!! Go see Shrek 2!

'TOMORROW' HOT AT THE BOX OFFICE
May 30, 2004 -- Moviegoers are flooding into theaters to catch the doomsday environmental flick "The Day After Tomorrow."

It racked up $25 million in ticket sales Friday and iced its nearest competition, "Shrek 2," and is forecast to make $100 million over the holiday weekend. The film depicts global warming gone wild - tornadoes in L.A., an ice age in India, and New York City flooded and frozen.

"Shrek 2" took $20.5 million its second Friday out.

The neo-cons are freaking!

How dare we liberals trot out our own apocalyptic nightmare. Be afraid you paranoid neo-cons. Be very afraid.

building a fire for warmth because its zero degrees outside, they don't close the blinds or the drapes on the windows, but keep them open?

The special effects were cool, but there were so many errors in the movie, it made it hard to enjoy.

And the long, gutwrenching scenes when they run toward, and then away from the tidal wave... Or when they run to escape the super-cold freezing air.

Or the most unrealistic of all, the apologetic quasi-Cheney saying "I was wrong. blablabla. Now we're refugies in countries that we until yesterday called the 'third world'." hahahaha

"The day after tomorrow".

You wanna go see The Day After Tomorrow?

Oh, we can go the day after tomorrow.

(The next day). So, tomorrow we're going to see the day after tomorrow?

Naw, why don't we wait until the day AFTER tomorrow . . .

And so on... :D

I didn't think it was cheesy at all. DEFINITELY worth seeing on the big screen.

Funny how the people in the lounge seemed to like it alot more than the ones on this thread.

saying what all the reviews say; "great special effects, bad dialog, horrible science, blah blah blah..." NO reporter EVER brings up the Pentagon report of just a few months ago that stated that a new global Ice Age could begin in just five to ten years (worst case scenario). I have a friend who has studied global climate change in Antarctica for forty years, and he agrees with that report.
