The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
May 3, 2008
The world is ending, global warming is real and you have 24 hours to get to Mexico. Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal star in script that could have been written by Al Gore. The movie is pure fantasy however, I did somewhat enjoy myself.
Quaid plays Jack Hall, a climatologist who has been trying to sound the alarm of global climate change with no luck. Suddenly massive storms hit the planet, sending Earth into a second Ice Age. Hall then must race to New York, where his son is trapped in the library.
The movie is fun, and ludicrous at the same time. It’s nice eye candy and if you have some time to kill, with no other movies to watch, you should enjoy yourself with this one. One and a half stars out of four.
Note: South Park did a really funny parody of this movie called, “Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow.”
