The Day After Tomorrow, my impression Options

[Retehi]

Anyone catch it? Gonna?

I just got back from it, and damn, friggin awesome effects.

Story overall is kinda corny, dad wants to go save his son stuck in NYC, with other side things happening. Thing that ticked me off in this movie is you don't know what the hell happens to some of characters in the movie (scientists in Scotland) , and some don't even fit in or make sense (the kid in the hospital, the hell?)

Tension is pretty cool, you wanna know what happens next and whatnot, mass chaos and things being destroyed, pretty fun to watch.

Aside the cheesy story, I liked it, the huge weather effects were the real eye candy here.

I know this sounds scrambled and whatnot, but I just got home and I'm dead tired.

Overall a decent watch, nothing groundbreaking though.

shows how tired I am cause I mispelled the friggin title at first. . . haha

I'm not saying that global warming isn't an issue. My point is that the movie has very little scientific backing. They talk about some of the theories that could bring about the next ice age, but they aren't applied in any sort of scientific manner. Also the movie is politically charged. Basically blaming the Republicans for not heading the warning of one scientist and bringing about the next ice age. Not that, in the time frame of the movie, the politicians had really any time to do anything about it. There is no educational value in the movie, nor any entertainment value (less you need a nap). Me bieing a scientist doesn't mean that I have to love this movie because it almost has science in it. Nor does it mean I should have to draw anysort of positive critique because the movie glances on global warming. I'm not twisting some beautiful, educational movie about the impacts of global warming into a a movie based of leftist propaganda, unsubstantiated claims, and wild exagerrations. That's what the movie is.

It's a movie, movie's sole purpose in life is to entertain. I found nothing entertaining in the movie and thought they could have done a much better job given the topic of the movie. It's not as bad as Godsend, but in my opinion is still a very subpar movie.
