Enviro-Nazi propaganda

Rating: 5/10 (15 August 2005)

Good storytelling. However, I wouldn't call it a good movie. I also wouldn't call The Day After Tomorrow a bad movie. It falls somewhere in the middle. It's classic Enviro-Nazi propaganda. Yes, Earth's climate is fragile. So is the economy. Everything's interconnected. If you make claims about the environment, you have to back them up scientifically. It's like the boy who cried wolf. When the wolf does come and eats the sheep, nobody will listen. We need more information. We don't have it. But you have to consider the source here, and that's scientists, looking for government grants, who brought us just the opposite back in the '70s. What's the opposite of global warming? Global cooling of course. When I was in junior high and high school back in the '70s, you couldn't turn on the news, radio or television, without hearing about global cooling, and how we were heading for the next ice age. The events in the movie are too preposterous to be real. It was done for dramatic effect.. The redeeming feature of the movie was the special effects.
