did anyone else dose off?

Rating: 3/10 (29 May 2004)

"The Day After Tomorrow" will be remembered until, well, the day after tomorrow. This movie had some of the best advertising of any movie in recent years. The trailers were great, the idea was good, the special effects were unreal! So how do you blow such a movie? Easy. By poor casting and a horrible story. I fell asleep three times, and I am a guy that never falls asleep in the theater. The only thing this movie had going for it was the special effects. Now don't get me wrong, I like Jake Gyllenhaal as an actor, but I never want to see him do such a big budget movie with lots of special effects again. He is to good for that. He deserves to be in low budget movies with well written scripts such as "The Good Girl." Oh, and anyone that thought Dennis Quaid could ever pull off the lead role of a movie such as this is sadly mistaken. He isn't that type of actor. It wasn't all the actor's faults either. I mean c'mon, how can you act well with such a corny script. By the way, the supporting roles didn't exactly help out with the movie's dullness. They could've made the movie better, but instead made it even worse.
