It's Independence Day with ice age instead of aliens!

Rating: 5/10 (27 May 2004)

Yes, Emmerich directed this movie also he is the director of "Independence Day" from a few years ago. It struck me a lot in this movie how big the similarities are. The elements that are supposed to do the most breath-taking feelings off the audience is in both movies big, round, up in the sky, works drastically quickly (not really as relevent here as in ID), it's global, calculated just before it's occurance... the converges are numerous. The story is quite lame when it's not focused on the climate changes - basically everyone dies out in the cold, yet the Hero climate researcher ventures on top of hundreds of feet with snow to walk by foot to New York from inland??? COME ON! To say it overall... there is nothing in "Day after tomorrow" that we haven't seen before in one way or another. I can't say it's a bad movie, but... well, more like a cash-in cow movie made by standards. 5/10
