Great SFX!

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2004)

If you go to see a big Hollywood blockbuster nowadays, you can at least rely on the special effects being good. In the case of The Day After Tomorrow they're a lot better than that, and some of the action on the big screen is truly jawdropping.
As you can also expect with Hollywood blockbusters, the money's been invested in the effects and the script suffers it accordingly. A cast of nobodies [other than Quaid] seemed to do well enough with it, but the dialogue was a bit corny and was lacking craft.
That's what you've come to expect though, and if you go to see a big name film that's been much hyped expecting anything else, you *are* as stupid as they think you are!
I enjoyed it as some harmless fun.
