A very usual catastrophic movie

Rating: 5/10 (20 February 2012)

The movie The Day After Tomorrow from Roland Emmeric published in 2004 deals with the scenario of a global natural disaster caused by human activity. The main characters are Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), Laura Chapman(Emmy Rossums) and Sam Hall (Jake Gyllenhaal). Jack Hall works as a professor specialized in thermal environment moreover Laura and Jack (Son of Jack) are students. While watching the movie one will remark that the movie is similarly compared with 2012.
The story is about a professor (Jack Hall) who study the climate change. He is the first who realizes that the climate is changing. As result he trys to alarm the government but there is no reaction with regard to him. Little by little the climate becomes more dangerous. The world is going to a ice time.
The scenes play in a lot of famous cities for example Tokio, New York and Carlifornia especially the scenes in New York are very impressively because whole New York is iced including the Statue of Liberty.
The music underlines the action scenes very well. The composer used a lot of strings and other classical instruments this arouse the public. That one can see for example in the first scene which plays in the Arctic.
In my opinion the special effects are not realistic and seem too simulated. The wolves appear very unrealistic that fact takes a lot of the tension.
The story line was not very interesting. The usual love story. The usual father and son conflict nothing that makes the watcher interested. The love story between Laura and Sam is a typical story line made by Hollywood in according to this the plot is predictable as result one is bored by that plot.
But what is the message of the movie? Maybe we all have to change our way of life for getting a better future. Of course the producer wants to influence the public to buy a ticket. Apart from this the movie deals with a serious topic that will concerns all of us. As a result of watching the film the people make some minds about global warming.
In conclusion the movie gets 5 of 10 points. I dislike the story line only the action scenes do not make a excellent film. So the movie is only for people who like a lot of action without a good story line and poor animated enemies.
