Are stupendous special effects and a solid scenario enough to carry a film, when the narrative and dialogue are weak? In the case of Roland Emmerich's The Day After Tomorrow, the answer is yes. But only just. Stories based on the end of civilisation have long been popular. Flood, fire, plague, alien invasion, meteors, comets, sentient machines, even Satan - humanity has been battered by them all for decades thanks to the imaginations of authors and filmmakers. Director Roland Emmerich is no stranger to mass destruction. His biggest hit (with his then production partner Dean Devlin), 1996's Independence Day had nasty aliens knackering the planet until heroic Americans saw them off. He followed that mayhem with some more focused property damage in 1998's Godzilla. With The Day After Tomorrow he is once again wreaking destruction on a global scale. Unfortunately, his attempt to portray a worldwide crisis results in a piecemeal story, its narrative drive interrupted by over-ambitious plotting.Read full review
A great movie but this global warming stuff is being overdone and this film sadly demonstrates the paranoia which exists around the subject. It seems that the whole world is going bonkers over Global Warming. This despite the fact that many Eastern scientists (notably in Russia and China) ae actually predicting a mini Ice-age over the next 10-20 years! They are actually buying up arable land in tropical regions since they believe that most of the land in the higher latitudes will actually become unusable in the decades ahead. Yes -the movie is great and the special effects are superb - but people need to keep their feet on the ground concerning global warming. Call me cynical but whilst I am all in favour of saving global resources, stating unequivocally that global warming is real and caused by man borders on the laughable. That all said - a great movie and one well worth watchingRead full review
