A visual treat... nothing else.

Rating: 6/10 (15 October 2005)

Movies like "The Day After Tomorrow" always have certain goals to fulfill. There are few films that set goals in every strata of cinema and fulfill them. Films like "Day after Tomorrow" do not set goals in all strata, the primary objective of them is to provide the cinema-goers the maximum visual treat. All others are just to hold up a story to make it into a film. So this film is filled with unscientific plot, childish story lines, cheap clichés and laughable script. I wouldn't be surprised if it had worse acting performances. They were lucky to get decent actors like Quaid, Gylenhaal or Rossum.
What I mean to say is, watching this film in a big screen theatre with good sound is indeed a treat. There are a number of scenes where the audience applauded heartily. Once again, one can't help praising the marvel of modern computerized special effects after this film. That was the film's primary objective and it passed that exam with distinction.
