The end is nigh

Rating: 7/10 (5 February 2011)

The Day After Tomorrow, released in 2004 and starring Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal is a natural disaster apocalypse film from the director of Independence Day; Roland Emmerich.
This CGI packed action adventure gives the audience everything they could hope for and much more. The lead roles played by Quaid and Gyllenhaal are superbly acted, especially when Quaid's character must choose to trek through the fast approaching ice age to save his son (Gyllenhaal) at any cost.
The story is immaculately written and portrayed on screen, delivering a message that will stick with you long after watching this film.
When given the choice between more recent apocalyptic film 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow, I would pick the latter every single time. They are both excellent films, but The Day After Tomorrow brings a sense of realism and believability with both it's scenario and story line. I came away from watching The Day After Tomorrow actually scared that something of a similar nature could very well happen.
This isn't just another "Inconvenient Truth" styled documentary film, but a fictional story based on events that could possibly happen.
The Day After Tomorrow is a film definitely worth watching!
