A Strong Cast Make a Cliché Movie Very Enjoyable,

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2013)

The Day After Tomorrow is a great movie with a pretty well developed storyline,although at times relies too much on special effects,but they are very good effects.I thought the movie didn't sound like something I was going to enjoy,just another cliché end of the world movie,but I decided to watch it because I like Jake Gyllenhaal and Dennis Quaid,and I thought that they and several other cast members made what could have been a straight forward end of the world movie a lot more intense and enjoyable.The movies special effects are truly groundbreaking,especially for 2004 standards,they definitely overused it but it was so good I was able to get over it.Fans of action movies and apocalypse movie will definitely enjoy The Day After Tomorrow,and will find it a lot more refreshing than the usual mediocrity you would expect in these type of movies.
As Earth cracks under tornadoes,tidal waves and ice caps,scientist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) races to save his stranded son Sam (Jack Gyllenhaal).
