Day after tomorrow ... a real turkey

Rating: 1/10 (20 January 2006)

This is without a doubt one of the the worst movies I have ever seen. Judging from other review sites such an opinion seems to be widespread .... which is refreshing since popularity usually equals mediocrity, at least in this century. The partial basis for this garbage ( not to mention a really bad, "bad weather" book by UFOlogist Art Bell and one of his buddies ) is some "flash frozen" mammoth discovered in Siberia and now resident at the Smithsonian. Well kiddies the internal organs of that unfortunate animal showed evidence of the normal damage associated with mortality, ie. it's guts were rotten. Other scientific faux pas included a violation of the Ideal Gas law ... again no instant frozen mammoths, helicopters, flags or people are possible. Of course bad science does not always mean completely bad acting ( even the Klingons have their good moments ) but D.A.T. comes up cold and empty on this score. The acting reminds me of Canadian soap opera from the 1960s AND THAT STORY!! ... billions of people die while this Paterfamilia walks from Pennsylvania to New York in a couple of days without the slightest idea what he is going to do when he gets there??? Superstorm equals Superturkey.
