Day After Tomorrow review- Spoiler

Shit.

 

What, even the effects?

This is the film we're talking about here, and not a life prediction?

 

I'll refrain from typing LOL here....whoops.

This is how we do a spoiler!

 

Watching the trailer is far cheaper. No, the effects are great but he script
is risible. And there are no characters to care about or even be interested
in. Bald kid with no spoon from Matrix has a cameo.

Class dialogue though:

[Hero and anonymous NPC hiking through the snow to save son. NPC collapses.
Hero turns and asks "Are you all right?"]

 

This is how we flick vs.

[flicks vs]

You mean you didn't understand it? It's art, after all.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Wednesday might be better though.

 

I loved it ;p
I'm crazy about spectacular weather effects anyways.
Yes the acting was a bit on the stiff side and the dialogue wasn't great
but the effects were stunning and the human reaction to disasters was
realistic enough.
I've seen less credible films lately, ffs (The Core, 28 Days Later,
Freddy vs Jason[1] et al).


[1] Don't bother, it's really REALLY shite.

 

This says it all (from IMDB):

"Roland Emmerich confided that the Statue of Liberty would be turned over by
the force of the massive amount of water flowing around it but said he
wanted to create a symbol of American values that stood up to the forces."

 

At some points it threatens to go the spoof route. Divorcing parents,
teen love, terminally ill child, caring President, wise-cracking black
guy, courageous "who's going to watch your back" buddies. However, no
singing nun.

 

I'd just ask one thing: Who *ever* gave a shit about Dennis Quaid's
character in a movie?

 

agreed.

The plot is so similar to ID4 that it's taking the piss.

Be amazed at the snow, water and wolves. Try not to listen to the dialogue
from the 1 dimensional characters.

 

I kinda assumed it was being done for laughs - as noted on NTK, there
seems to be deliberate pauses after each line of crap dialogue to add
your own sarcastic comment.

Actually, I thought the wolves CGI was /very/ obvious for a modern
movie.

 

Innerspace.
I really hoped his character was going to die. Does this count?
