We loved it!

I've always said "Special effects do not a good movie make" however I'll make an exception concerning 'The Day After Tomorrow'. What did I love about the effects so much? The realism. What unfolded before me on the screen looked so real, felt so real, that I found myself totally drawn in and captivated. I went to see this with my family including my 85 year old Grandmother and we all loved it. We all felt it was the best disaster movie we had seen.
Sure it's full of scientific plot holes but the movie was so captivating that I was able to suspend disbelief. If I had seen this movie on video I would probably feel different. It's the type of movie you have to see on the big screen to appreciate. Just watching New York being flooded and seeing the statue of Liberty as a poignant object in a frozen wasteland is worth the prize of admission.
I also enjoyed the storyline. I felt for the characters and their plight. Get yourself a bucket of popcorn, suspend your disbelief and sit back and enjoy one hell of a ride.
