The Day After Tomorrow

Great effects, great story line

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 floodingis 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.

This movie begins where it ends. It is a poem in a form understood by so many, yet so few choose to listen. This is the foundation for which, I have seen, this movie, form and build into an epic scale of colossal music. I can understand why people would not like this. A compassionate premise for a movie is not an entirely good movie you would want to make. Yet I believe this is a classic, timeless, in its beginning, and ending, and beyond even truth.The constant merging of reality and unreality is called Imagination, which is the only purpose of visual effects, and this, the director and actors have proven true.That is why it is beyond truth, in my opinion. Yet the utter lack of clarity as to what global warming is can be yelled at for years; even hundreds of years, as scientists predict chaos from global warming may ensue; yet the constant struggle between trying to define truth and what is clear about global warming is something that no film can declare absolutely. Having said this, I believe the only purpose of the film is to be epic, compassionate, wonderful.It is a mystery to me why people overlook this. Perhaps it's the reason why we fail to notice, for instance, the floods are unnatural in our times; too many floods happen and have occurred too recently and too close for us to justify as natural; real people have died in these floods.Another thing: Hurricanes increase in frequency when we use fossil fuels. They have now for the past thirty years, since the rapid expansion of fossil fuel usage around the world. I think of the people who have died in hurricanes, lost their homes, memories, had their basements and upper levels even, flooded. I think of those I read in the newspaper, and think, we don't need a full catastrophe like an Ice Age to prove that global warming should be acted on now. And if the science isn't exact, why should we avoid the truth that the absolutes determine our fate? If we use thesis and antithesis as reminders of our value; so does the time of change, which is our will, need to understand these two concepts must be battled out within the emotional sphere.A movie's only purpose is to be emotional. The people watching this hate the nonscience, the unrational, almost boring nature of seeing no facts with which to debate over. I like the candid use, however, of laughter, as it heightens the evil within the film without making you think of science.You would find these people identically wandering over their pleasure centres with no regard for time, as you would find them criticizing the movie's premise. It is sad to think that less people will watch this film because of a few candid remarks. I hold no belief against those who choose not to however; but I urge those who are struggling to understand that it is not science that compels this future, but human beings, and to do otherwise is to place machines ahead of humanity.

Great movie

I enjoyed it, good action, good suspense

I was happy with the the quality of the video

"The Day After Tomorrow" is a riveting disaster film that masterfully combines epic storm sequences with a gripping survival plot. Directed by Roland Emmerich, the movie centers on climatologist Jack Hall, played by Dennis Quaid, as he races to save his son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) amid a series of catastrophic weather events. The film's special effects are spectacular, vividly depicting the havoc wreaked by massive storms, tsunamis, and a new ice age. The storyline effectively balances large-scale disaster with personal human drama, highlighting themes of resilience and the fight for survival against nature's fury. It's an engaging and visually stunning film that keeps you hooked from beginning to end.
