Welcome to the Summer of 2004 - Popcorn Galore!

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2004)

Yes, this is 2004 Summer movie blockbuster popcorn film. It's not bad..but it isn't good either. It's as so-so as they come with a few special moments to keep you entertained and your mind off of other things outside of the theater.
I've gotta be honest, I do believe that no one has a control over Nature and no one knows what's going to happen from one moment to the next. Can this happen? Sure. So can the Sun hurling towards the planet, drying up all of the water and frying everyone to a crisp. (Don't you DARE take that idea from me Roland!!!)
But this is quite a speculation and gives you pause to wonder.."what if". Of course many of us would have done things differently, and of course many of us would do what some did in the film. But besides the fact, I found Dennis Quaid's role not interesting enough for me. Jake Gyllenhall's role I could take or leave....okay, I'll be honest, the only acting that made me interested was that of the wolves.
But that star of the film is the special effects and the chills I got seeing two of my favorite places become "disaster city". I live in Los Angeles and the VISUAL of Tornadoes in Hollywood was amazing and I was born and raised in New York City so seeing it freeze over was chilling to say the least. A lot of plot holes, but this was...entertaining. The best part was the "solution" of where Americans had to go for refuge. Now, that was entertaining!
The Day After Tomorrow is a far cry and from "Independence Day" mind you, but okay if you've got nothing to do and matinee money to spend.
