At Least Irwin Allen Movies Had Camp

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2004)

The Day After Tomorrow is so horrendously bad I can hardly describe it.
Imagine you are at a high school party and drinking keg beer out of plastic cups. After a while you are buzzed and listening to the loud music and talking with people and reach over to take a sip of your beer. As you drink you realize you didn't look before picking up the cup and accidentally picked up the cup people used as an ashtray and the putrid dreck in the cup suddenly assaults your taste buds.
THAT is what it is like watching this terrible movie. You feel assaulted by stupidity, violated by inanity, tortured with bad acting, and hazed with the most implausible and idiotic script since, well, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
Dean Devlin somehow didn't participate in this travesty of a motion picture about a SERIOUS SUBJECT, but he partnered with DAT's director Roland Emmerich on several other stupid films such as Independence Day and Godzilla. These people are cinematic criminals who should be permanently barred from making films.
Think Irwin Allen's The Swarm and you get the idea of just how bad DAT really is. The audience I saw it with laughed throughout the whole movie, and only twice in the intended places. Jake Gylenhaal is the new poster boy for Hollywood nepotism. How does this ugly bug-eyed slacker rate a leading role in anything other than his high school production of Bye Bye Birdie? [oh yeah, Mommie and Daddy are in the business]
I can't believe I gave these clowns my money again!
