The Day After Tomorrow, Excellent FX, poor finish, poor storyline

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2005)

The Day Afetr Tmorrow, set to be an absolute blockbuster... Unfortunately that is not the case. I can not doubt or deny the fact that the movie contains some awesome effects, that really are cutting-edge stuff, but I am afraid to say a movie is more than just a few computerised sequences. The plot of this movie is very poor indeed, but what I deem worst of all is the finish. It seems as though only four or five people are left alive, but as the camera pans around New York, we are shocked in seeing hundreds, upon hundreds of people standing at the very top of sky scrapers. Then we see scenes of London, and other great cities of the world and it appears as though everyone is dead. That is particularly strange when you imagine SAS members and other high military members all dead, and simple New Yorkers manage to survive by standing on top of a Sky Scraper. I didn't know whether to laugh at this hilarity, or to cry because of just how poor it truly is. This is one of the films that I certainly would prohibit from entering my DVD collection. I did see it in the cinemas, and was tempted to walk out half way through, and I certainly would have had I not ordered that extra large portion of popcorn, that extra large Coke, and those nachos.
BEWARE, by buying this movie you agree to waste your money!
