The Day After Tomorrow - Don't Go There

Rating: 3/10 (28 November 2019)

Someone thought this is a credible examination of what could happen if we don't take Climate Change seriously. Seriously, could anything be further from the truth? We all know the climate is changing, it's been changing since creation but the warming science remains challenged by a vast number of the world's top scientists. It's difficult to know where to start with this catastrophe of a movie - yes, it has some good looking CGI but what's the benefit if the story is as silly as a kids matinee film from the 50s?
We see tents that don't freeze while every building in the entire city of NY have frozen over - we see a payphone that still works even though its submerged under sub zero waters, we see people being kept alive by the burning of the pages of some books (while they are surrounded by wooden furniture!) We see a global weather pattern that alters in a matter of hours instead of years (centuries). We see people being able to run and perform exhausting feats without any breathing difficulties whatsoever.
We see, oh, why bother... for those looking for mindless disaster entertainment it might work, provided you can turn a blind eye to a ton of cartoonish scientific inaccuracies. No wonder today's kids are reduced to anxiety and fear about their environment and see no hope for tomorrow. Pity they aren't able to recognise when a democratic propaganda piece is selling Al Gore's suspect 'science' for the benefit of very rich (getting richer) global companies. Perhaps all thats missing is Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead. Suppose we couldn't expect much more from this director.
