With 'The Day after Tomorrow' Roland Emmerich puts the Visual Effects Gauge once again in a higher level.

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2004)

**SPOILER WARNING**
Due to a mistake from manhood the polarcaps are melting, this affects a series of different catastrophe events. Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), a senior researcher tries to convince the vice president that these events mean a new ice age. At this time Jack's son Sam Hall (Jake Gyllenhall) goes to a public library in New York. Three gigantic Hurricanes are coming, one of these over New York and now Jack goes to New York to save him.
With 'The Day after Tomorrow' Roland Emmerich puts the Visual Effects Gauge once again in a higher level. Breathtaking Effects like tidal waves, frozen buildings and satellite photos from hurricanes. The acting, i think, wasn't bad, not very emotional but it can emphasize a dark atmosphere. A drawback was the screenplay, where is the weather station? Where is the mainframe? Where is the conference room? There so many other where's. The screenplay could be much better, it's hard.
7/10
