Directed by Roland Emmerich, this mega-budget, special-effects-laden epic revolves around the onset of an international series of crises brought on by the long-term results of the greenhouse effect. At the eye of the storm is paleoclimatologist (a professor dedicated to the study of weather patterns throughout the ages) Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), who voluntarily takes on the preservation of the world in the dawn of the next ice age and all the disaster that comes along with it -- violent hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tidal waves, massive floods, etc. Hall must also contact his son, Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal), who was in the middle of an academic competition in New York City when the chaos begun. In addition to facing the largest-scale onslaught of natural catastrophes in the history of humankind, Jack, in his journey north, must contend with the masses fleeing south in an attempt to resettle in a warmer climate. The Day After Tomorrow also features Emmy Rossum, Sela Ward, and Joe Cobden. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

When I asked hubby what he thought about this movie the only thing he said was "I don't need messages in my movies". After thinking about it, I did see his point. The movie shows what happens when we don't take care of the things that we should be taking care of, in a way. Also, the thing that struck me is that it reminded me a lot of 'Independence Day', but instead of aliens making everyone miserable it was the FREEZING cold. Other than those two things, I generally liked the movie. It was entertaining and some scenes where very heart-felt. For an entertaining movie about the human will prevailing over rain, sleet and snow (not to mention a few hungry wolves)
