Action/Disaster with great effects and a good story

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2005)

As the saying goes: there's no accounting for taste. So, I strongly disagree with the negative review featured on this movie's info page. One should note, however, that the reviewer, "Libertio," gives high praise to several of the visual effects and calls the satirical scenes "potent." I think Libertio misses the point when he criticizes the story which I found plausible and of more than ordinary interest, particularly for a disaster movie. Please be aware that my "10" rating is based on a comparison with other movies of this type; it is not absolute.
Furthermore, I think movie ratings should be "conditional" rather than absolute. Isn't it unfair to compare, say, "Something About Mary" with "Schindler's List?" Along these lines I would ask Libertio what other action/disaster movies does he consider superior to "Tomorrow?" As for myself, I found the effects chilling (pun intended), surprising, and awe inspiring. The scientific thesis underlying the story may be unlikely or even false as some scientists have stated, but the vast majority of scientists in the field do think that the earth is undergoing a warming period and that humans are contributing to this phenomenon.
So, the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it story this movie postulates does reverberate in the popular mind. May I suggest that the plot may be a bit too plausible to be really enjoyed by the popular mind? Otherwise, I, for one, find it difficult to account for the overall lowish rating given in IMDb's survey.
