The Day After Tomorrow

What a great classic action movie! I was sitting on the edge of my seat watching this film

This is a great movie. A little dated but still a good movie.

I watch The Day After Tomorrow all the time—several times a year, honestly—and it never gets old. It’s not boring at all, but somehow it’s also the perfect movie to fall asleep to. If you’ve seen it before, it’s familiar and comforting; if you haven’t, it definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. There are a lot of interesting facts and concepts woven into the story, and if it’s your first time watching, you’ll find yourself fully invested. There are so many moments where you’re talking to the TV like, “WHY would you do that?!”—but hey, it’s a movie, and they’re never going to make the smartest choice every time. Overall, it’s a really great film with suspense, rewatch value, and that rare ability to be both exciting and oddly relaxing. A classic in my book and always worth another watch.

Love this movie I have watched it many times through the year would recommend this movie

I was 2/3rds of the way thru the film before I realized I had seen it before but couldn’t remember how it ended. Not the major film but not a minor one either – the special effects and artwork are extra-ordinary, quite imaginative, the frame-to-frame flow is fluid. The critics agree with me: Rotten Tomatoes said "a ludicrous popcorn flick filled with clunky dialogues, but spectacular visuals save it from being a total disaster" and Roger Ebert described the film as "profoundly silly" but nonetheless said the film was effective and praised the special effects. The only reason why I gave this four stars instead of three is because of the visuals. The most believable parts of the film were the self-serving politicians and the First Responders – law enforcement officers, paramedics, EMT's, firefighters, hospital doctors and nurses and staff, and accidental heroes. The best actor’s performance came from Glenn Plummer as Luther, the street-dweller and his dog, who subsists on instinct. Dennis Quade and Jake Gyllenhaal are a good pairing and held my interest. I get the feeling that the actors were just in it for the dosh. The script was peppered with comedic elements, with an underlying serious message of the severity of sudden climate change: “These past few weeks have left us all with a profound sense of humility in face of nature’s destructive power. For years we operated under the belief that we could continue consuming our planet’s natural resources without consequence. We were wrong.” – Kenneth Welsh (VP Becker) The snowbound Statue of Liberty near the end may be a nod to Planet of the Apes. All in all, the film is fast-paced and typical of the genre; a satisfying diversion.

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 of us. The prospects of another ice-age followed by or preceeding global flooding is very possible as we all are familiar with the story of Noah's flood and many ancient cultures mention the flood which gave birth to new life. The message in this movie should not be taken lightly we do need to take better care of our environment. As we approach Earth's completed cycle of its 11,000 year journey(the Mayan calendar was interpreted as approximately 25,000 years) and it reaches the position in the center of our galaxy (culminating around the first day of Winter 2012) our planet will wobble and more than likely more volcanoes will erupt and climate change will occur that includes the global flooding mentioned in Noah's day(Old Testament of the Bible) just as it's doing now.The Earth is billions of years old but extinction of any species is always possible.Humans survived the last ice-age and global flooding we can survive again as long as we know what is happening---just don't panic. I found this movie to be an edge of the seat thriller packed with alot of unsettling more than possible real life special effects.Frozen air can destroy machinery and life forms can be flash frozen.The delicate balance of ocean currents can affect air flow masses and there is always the possibilities of superhurricanes,catogory 5 plus tornadoes combining together and tidal waves created by storm surges.These are happening at this time.And I will mention the fact the poles keep our atmosphere cooler and if they do melt all at once as Earth heats up ,the water rises and then begins to create steam and a jungle (greenhouse) effect.The temperatures and humidity would reach unbearable proportions for most life forms. As far as the dialogue is concerened it is appropriate for the movie,kept it going and being concerned about family members,community and the need for survival is very human.I don't believe I have ever watched a scarier movie than this one whose only monster is the uncontrollable violent forces of Nature fighting to survive and the good Earth----our only home in this universe) conquors all. I give the movie 5 stars for excellence in getting a difficult message across as a warning about the effects of global changes.What took earth billions of years to create and evolve in many life forms as flora and fauna humankind has managed to affect with our pollution of perhaps a century that can very likely bring about our demise.Take it seriously..it's happened in the Earth's past.

Love this movie watch it several times monthly it’s my comfort movie

Good product

Comentario del Blu Ray de El día de mañana. Esta es una de mis pelis favoritas y soy muy cinefilo. ¿Porque? No lo sé, pero cada seis meses cae alguna noche. Quizás porque soy padre e iría hasta el fin del mundo por mis hijos. La imagen del blu ray es lo que uno espera, alto nivel de detalle, nítidez, etc,...le daría un nueve sobre diez, respecto a otros blu ray que he visto o tengo. El comienzo de la película con las imagenes del Polo Norte es realmente espectacular en blu ray. No pesa ninguna escena, esta enmarcada en el cambio climático en este caso cine de catastrofes. Tiene un estupendo tempo cinematografico, un gran montaje y unos fabulosos efectos especiales. Las escenas de acción estan muy bien rodadas y montadas y se ve sin sentir. Hace reflexionar sobre que es lo verdadermente importante y a mi me ha motivado a sacrificar tiempo de trabajo a cambio de tiempo con los mios. Y el blue ray esta en castellano. Con este precio no se puede pedir más.

Man meint, der Schwabe Roland Emmerich müsse eine Rechnung mit den USA offen haben, wenn man sich ansieht, wie oft er da im Film randaliert. Nur ist er irgendwie immer etwas inkonsequent dabei. Der Mann, zu dessen Lieblingsfilmen solche Katastrophenstreifen, wie „Erdbeben” und „Flammendes Inferno”, beide von 1974, zählen, lässt in Hollywood in regelmäßigen Abständen die eigene Sau raus. Ob nun 1992 eine „Universal Soldier” ziemlich ungepflegt in der Gegend herumballern oder 1996 gar haufenweise mordwütige Aliens auf die USA losließ, immer legte er die USA in Schutt und Asche. Mit Blick auf das zahlende Kinopublikum der USA wäre es aber vermessen und auch neben der Logik, da kein Happy End zu erwarten, denn die Filme sollen ja Geld einspielen und da kann man die Zuschauer nun mal nicht etwas Realerem als ein Happy End verärgern. Genauso, wie in dem nuklearen Endzeitstreifen „The Day After” von 1983, rappelt sich die USA selbstredend nach jeder Katastrophe wieder hoch. Nur der Weg zu diesem Happy End ist entscheidend und das hat Meister Emmerich immer wieder spannend und super gemacht. In „The Day after Tomorrow” ist es diesmal der Mensch selbst, der die Katastrophe herbeiführt. Vornehmlich ist es der amerikanische, der sich bei Umweltabkommen drückt und somit die Klimakatastrophe herbeiführt. Besonders abgesehen hat Roland Emmerich es dabei immer wieder auf New York. Was Osama Bin Ladens Todesflieger übrig gelassen haben, erledigt Emmerich sehr effektvoll erst mit Wasser und dann mit Eis. Der Präsident der USA ist sehr viel sympathischer als der amtierende Bush. Allerdings ist das kein großes Kunststück, denn das ist zur Zeit ja jeder Kaktus. Eine optisch und akustisch sehr gelungene Hantiererei mit den Effekten, die allein schon den Kinobesuch lohnen. Angesichts der tosenden Wassermassen in New York, denkt man an die biblische Sintflut, Noahs Arche und den Kauf einer DVD, um das Spektakel für die Sinne auf der heimischen Dolbyanlage noch mal in Ruhe genießen zu können. Denn dieses ist ein Film, wo es wirklich wieder lohnt. „The Day after Tomorrow” ist bis jetzt einer der Höhepunkte des Kinojahres 2004 und ich habe schlicht keine Ahnung, was da jetzt noch kommen könnte. Noch mehr interessiert mich aber, mit welcher Katastrophe Emmerich in seinem nächsten Film Amerika zu Leibe rückt und wann. Bis jetzt kann mich das Kino in seiner Vorschau für keinen weiteren Film in nächster Zukunft begeistern, aber auch das kann und wird sich ja noch ändern! Eine gute Unterhaltung war „The Day after Tomorrow” aber allemal und einen Kinogang und eine DVD wert.

I LOVE this film

This film is really upsetting with the effects of a high level of realism. The Steelbook is really beautiful, the finish is matte, simple and sober.

This is a fantastic movie and in awe every time I watch it on dvd!!! Now got the bluray so can feel the setting and cold better. It seemed more work than it should be to find and get this exciting and realistic video, compared to gun slinging westerns. It was mentioned and parts displayed this week on the "Nature of Things" cbc with episode, "Wild Wild Weather". The facts in the movie are real and in recent published science research the notion of the AMOC failing is getting real while they coach their research now with emphasis on the SOOC, PMOC and Subpolar Gyre in mind, thinking perhaps they can support and save the PMOC. We can't "tough guy", shoot our ways through the carelessnesses gripping this world while using and wasting it up, are the clear messages here. I'm in Canada with a top down view from here, with a southpark mouth and head, flapping from side to side which increases the perspectives and airflow :) Really glad I got this before they stop making media discs for us. An excellent movie to watch and consider :)
