Lame, Lame, Lame

I didn't go into "Day After Tomorrow" expecting much, and sadly that prophecy was fulfilled. Independence Day it's not. The effects were as great as expected, but you basically get to see everything worth seeing when you watch the trailer or commercial. There is really no plot to speak of, and what small semblance of plot exists is thinly woven. Climate shift is an interesting concept, but not necessarily made believable by this movie. The acting is so-so, and there are actually a few humorous lines that made the movie worth seeing. All in all, it was worth it just to get out of the house for a while, and it wasn't all bad - it just wasn't all good, either. Basically, I suggest seeing this one as a matinee or wait until video...
