/me reviews a movie: The Day After Tomorrow
Hello, hello. I just came back from the movies. I went with my grandmother, whom I have probably watched 3/4 of the movies I've seen with, to see The Day After Tomorrow. The movie is about the polar ice caps melting and disrupting the North Atlantic current which results into a huge storm reminiscent of that which happened during the first ice age. It stars Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal.
- Overall, it's a good movie with nice effects and a few "arm-rest-grabbing" moments (even though you know perfectly well what's coming).
- The visuals, the way they recreated the storm was awesome.
- Thinking "What if this really happened/can happen" is enough to make you go wow or woah in some of the scenes (like when some of the European air force men froze upon contact with outside air).
- There were a few witty and funny lines thrown here and there.
- The acting is good and satisfying. It was pretty much up to par.
See, there's really nothing so bad about it that's worth to mention. I am not recommending it unless you are a fan of these polar ice caps melting theories, LIDAR Physics, huge storms, seeing people freeze to death or Jake Gyllenhaal. I partly enjoyed it because of the theories involved, actually.
Well that would only be it. I'm not pretty much in for a full length movie review. Watch it only if you think you're going to enjoy it. There are no hidden surprises or anything. What you hear of it or watched of it in the trailer is what you're gonna see. It's not like watching Troy, despite not being a fan of Greek myth and literature, then coming out of the theater a changed man.
If you've seen the movie Twister or The Perfect Storm and enjoyed it, then you'd enjoy this more. It's pretty much a The Core type of movie, only it's not really about saving the whole world and is focused on events over land. I promise you won't get sick of people surprisingly being able to carry out a huge Save-the-World mission with only less than 24 hour's notice.
