Roland Emmerich makes up for "Independence Day" and "Godzilla".

Rating: 7/10 (3 March 2006)

Knowing that "The Day After Tomorrow" is directed by the same guy behind Hollywood garbage such as "Independence Day" and "Godzilla", a person would likely assume this movie to be the same. In fact, this one is much different. Portraying global warming unleashing an ice age across the northern hemisphere, the movie should be a warning to us (especially after Hurricane Katrina).
When the movie came out, there was some controversy about the vice president looking very similar to Dick Cheney. I wish to assert that it's appropriate for him to resemble the Bush administration, given the way that the Bush administration pursues policies increasing global warming.
All in all, this is a popcorn movie - and (hopefully) improbable - but definitely worth seeing. Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, and Ian Holm all do quite well in their roles.
