WARNING: THE REVIEW HAS SPOILERS FOR ONES WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE!
When i was about to see the day after tomorrow, i thought it would turn out like Godzilla with not a bit of a decent storyline. But when i watched the movie i found out i was wrong. Emmrich has put a lot of effort in this film, in both special effects and a story and it shows.
The movie begins fast with natural disasters occurring all around the world. This captured my attention from the beginning of the film and kept it till the end.
Some people argue that there was no storyplot. I disagree. The basic storyplot is a father trying to find his son and battling the obstacles.
The special effects are nothing less than breathtaking. A monster tsunami destroying manhattan is superb to watch. You don't want to even blink as the the massive chaos is worth to watch. Buses getting flipped, Statue of Liberty half covered in water, windows shattering and the wall of water surrounding new york is terrific. Other awesome special effects include instant freezing and monster tornadoes which are a eye pleasure. Even though i knew it was CGI animation, i was led to believe it was real. Good work on the effects.
The acting is good in some parts and bad in some. but mostly good.
This movie will keep you glued to your chair the whole time. The movie captures viewer's eyes from the beginning and provides them awesome entertainment till the end. And seeing new york frozen in the end is beautiful.
