“Where Will You Be?”
Movie: The Day After Tomorrow
Rating:
Rank:
Director: Roland Emmerich
Release Date: May 28, 2004
Cast: Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, Jay O. Sanders and Dash Mihok
When ever I saw the trailer to this film my hopes went up a little bit more and after the movie was finished, I wasn’t let down..
Once the helicopter view of Antarctica began, my mouth hit the floor, and stayed there. This film has it all; suspense, great CGI, some good acting and most of all, a good message. A message that’s so clear, even a teenager can’t ignore it. Its message is plain and clear; we can’t keep polluting the Earth as much as we do without having consequences. I know the consequences might be a little ways off but, we must act now. If we don’t, our children (I) and our grandchildren (my children) could be the ones to suffer.
The government of the United States of America is ignorant and fool hearted in this movie, much like in actual life. They do nothing until the last minute. This puts a spotlight on our actual government—makes you think: are we prepared enough to handle something like this? That’s one thing I like about this film; it makes you think about our preparedness.
I personally love the CGI in this film; at some points it makes you think “how did they do all this? I mean, they can’t destroy New York City.” That, in my opinion, is a job done well. They did a great job of blending the CGI with the rest of the movie but, it’s not the best. I wasn’t fooled one bit when I saw the wolves; they looked extremely fake. It’s just too bad they can’t use real wolves.
There’s also some good acting by Dennis Quaid, who played Jack Hall, and Jake Gyllenhaal, who played Sam Hall. There’re the only ones that really stick out, to the general audience, because they got the most screen time.
I’ve taken to noticing the supporting acting since joining Movie Forums. Jay O. Sanders and Dash Mihok are the supporting actors that get the most screen time. Sanders character, Frank Harris, was my favorite from the movie. He doesn’t get a lot of screen time but, he does a good job with the time he has.
I personally think this movie is a great way to start off the summer. I personally think that anyone who likes movies should see this but, the people that would get the most out of it are the ones that like to say “what if?”
There’s a lot of political talk flying around about this movie but, to get the most out of it, don’t think about it in that way. The theory of this happening is correct but, there are a lot of things that, of course, wouldn’t happen. This film is a good way of getting a message to go nationwide really, really fast.
All in all, this movie is pretty good. If you don’t like the entire movie you’ll find something in it you’ll like whether it’s the CGI, the acting, or the message it puts out. Check it out and get in on the talk about on of the best films of the summer.
