awful

Rating: 2/10 (12 June 2004)

When special effects turns out to be the big stars of a movie, then it's really in big trouble. And that's exactly what happened with The Day After Tomorrow. Bad acting + bad story + bad directing = movie disaster. I guess the producers thought it was an okay gamble since people will still flock to the theaters to see this one. I love disaster movies. But please, make it worth our while. Make sure the script and directing is good.
As for the actors, it almost felt like they accepted this job just for the money. They weren't motivated to become the characters and that's really sad because we spend 2 hours looking at them, trying to make us feel for them.
As for the story, everything felt forced. It felt like they didn't take it seriously. This was a great opportunity to make the people learn about the environment but they just messed it up. Everything was so unbelievable. I mean, they built it up so big and resolved it weakly.
This movie is really just a waste of money and of time.
