Possibly the worst film I have ever seen...

Rating: 1/10 (12 October 2004)

Lets put this into context. I hate disaster movies but end up watching them and hating myself for it. Here in the UK they grace Channel Five (the tabloid of TV channels) on Sunday afternoons and late at night and to my embarrassment I have therefore seen quite a few of these terrible works.
Each Disaster movie follows the same formula. There will be a tragedy. A minor character will die. There will be some flag waving. The tragedy will be overcome by the grouping together of resources and strengths of the, always unwilling, stars.
Unfortunately this is EXACTLY what happens in The Day After Tomorrow. And it is even worse than the Channel 5 flicks because it make s such a big thing of all these terribly obvious and predictable scenes.
The effects are mindblowing but they serve no more that wrapping a piece of clay in shiny paper.
Yes the premise is good. But that's it. The actors look embarrassed and any credibility and mystery Jake Gyllenhaal had has been ruined by this film.
I have only once ever come across another film of such poor quality and that was Wild Wild West.
1 out of 10.
