The Day After Tomorrow was much better than I expected it to be. The story, to a meterological ignoramus such as myself made the events seem plausible if not a little preachy. I though the acting was pretty good, the special effects were nearly incredible, and it was easy to feel for the main characters.
I did, however, have a few problems with the movie. First off, if it was so damn cold why did people keep taking off their gloves when going outside? And why didn't they ever stick to any of the metal when they did so? Why did the main character (played by Dennis Quaid) feel the need to walk to Manhattan and on his way from DC why did he have to pass Ellis Island? The escaped wolves seemed forced into the story line just for dramatic effect and at times the city model during the catastrophe seemed out of scale.
Even with these gripes the movie was fun to watch and to anyone looking for a fairly good movie to watch one night I would recommend The Day after Tomorrow.
