The effects I’ve seen in the trailer are so great, I almost want to see the movie with the sound down. Maybe some day Tivo will let you skip through the dialog in movies like this so you can just enjoy the special effects. Now THAT’s a Tivo I would buy.

Just saw you linked me; thanks. Cool. I don’t know if I’m just getting older or wiser, but I knew not to sit thru that crapfest. Ditto for Van Helsing. Shrek 2 was great, though.

Wait–let me clarify! We saw this movie as part of my “sneak preview” film class. Trust me, I would NOT have seen it otherwise.

I’ve said it here, I’ll say it elsewhere. This movie’s dialogue was worse than porn dialogue. And even the promised “money shots”–in this case the big special effects sequences–weren’t enough to make up for just how BAD the rest of it was. This has nothing to do with politics or science. It’s just a bad movie.

The TV trailer for this movie claimed that the NY Daily News calls it a “stunning achievement.” My brother went to the computer and read the Daily News’ review of it. See how this
stuff gets manipulated…

“Blow away every single line of dialogue, remove every actor with a speaking part, and project only the images showing the wrath of Mother Nature -preferably on five-story IMAX screens - and you’d have something worth $10. From the cracking of the antarctic ice shelf in the opening scene, to satellite images of massive storm systems, to the aforementioned
destruction of major cities and the snowbound aftermath, “The Day After
Tomorrow” is a stunning achievement.
Unfortunately, there is a story, an assortment of characters and a batch of contrived relationship crises whose dramatic transparency punctures the visual splendor like pins through birthday balloons.”

Now that’s a review!

That is terrible!
