Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2004)

This movie lived up to my VERY high expectations. It's very well done, great special effects and action scenes, very entertaining, very good characters and it moves at a very good pace. To me, it had everything. I rented it and now I will definitely buy it.
I'm especially happy that it didn't turn out to be a cheesy movie like Independence Day, or a stupid idiotic movie like Armageddon. Personally, I found The Day After Tomorrow to be perfect. It was serious, meaning there weren't moments like "Will Smith lighting a cigar and acting like some cool tough guy in the face of immense danger". Here, the people take everything seriously. Also, the acting is solid, unlike for example Godzilla were the acting was ridiculous. The special effects are out of this world, with the exception of the cgi wolves that could have been better. But otherwise, I am very happy and relieved how the movie turned out. Highly recommended.
P.S: It's also by far the best disaster movie that I've seen. It's up there with my other favorite movies (Jurassic Park trilogy, The Mummy (1999), Pirates of the Caribbean, Planet of the Apes (1968), to name a few...)
