Perfect summer entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2004)

*** minor spoiler *** I loved every minute of this special effects laden disaster movie. I'm not a big fan of either Independance Day OR Godzilla, but all is forgiven because The Day After Tomorrow is a great film. Obviously the actors take second stage to the SFX but Dennis Quaid et al do a fine job. The Day After Tomorrow is probably the best disaster movie since The Posedion adventure, it has a good story and characters you actually care about. The highlight of the film for me was when New York ( where else ) gets hit by a tidal wave, or was it when the unsuspecting TV reporter gets to close to the tornadoes or when the RAF pilots in Scotland get more than a little chilly, hard to say The Day After Tomorrow is packed with great moments, I'm looking forward to the DVD. ***8/10***
