A catastrophically catastrophic film
Starting with the review we have to say that the film "The Day After Tomorrow" is an effective and on the global problems based film from Roland Emmerich. Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal and Emmy Rossums present the characters Jack Hall, Sam Hall and Laura Chapman. It could be compared with the film "The Day The Earth Stood Still" which is also based on environmental problems.
The places are exciting because of its popularity. We see for example California, Tokyo, New York, Dehli and the Arctic.
The music underlines the dramatic scenes and makes you feel with the people. You especially feel the fear, the despair and the hopelessness while for example the tornadoes are destroying the city and while the ice is freezing the whole corridor where the main characters try to hide.
Faulty chosen are the special effects. They are very unrealistic and poorly animated. The best example for this are the wolves which come into the ship. They do not look like real wolves.
Furthermore the character play is unsatisfying. For example, the father-boy-relation is not as deep as it should be. The love between Sam and Laura is unconvincing and a bit too predictable.
The message is delivered clearly to the audience. Global warming is a global problem which calls cross-border acting like Mexico and USA. A fantastic example in the film, for this part, is the borderline from Mexico which is closed for a moment so that the other people recognize that they are dependent on their help.
All in all the film gets 6 from 10 points in our rating. We can recommend the film to viewers who like many action scenes and less acting. For watching this film, you should not like realistic movies and effects because of the many animated scenes which are not as marvelous as we wished for a good film.
