The Day After Tomorrow
 

What does everyone think of this film? going to see it?

What about the fact that is something that could really happen in the next 100 years? (although not so drastic)

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

If nothing else it seems like a must see for the special effects.

As to whether the rest of the film, especially the "plot", justifies the hype, we'll wait and see.

im kind of interested in it, i suppose its something diffarent as opposed to the usual action films laden with violence we see across the cinema and TV screens.

trailer: 5.90mb

I like a good disaster movie so I think I'll be there watching it on premier night, as has been said before though we will see if it lives upto the hype.

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

Myself and the wife will be going to see it - the trailers look very good.

Moved to Entertainment forum.

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

But this could actually happen although not as fast

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

I'll be going to see it, I've been looking forward to this for a while. :)

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

I also think it has a great name :)

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

The film is directed by the same person that did Independence Day and that film was not exactly great was it.

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

yes thank you, as it states during the trailor :dozey:

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

Yep, it's by Roland Emmerich.

He did, amongst other things: Independence Day, Stargate, Universal Soldier, The Patriot, & Godzilla.

I can't stand Godzilla or The Patriot, utter crap, both of them.

But I do actually quite like Independence Day, Stargate & Universal Soldier. None of them are "excellent", but I think they're still quite good fun.

Independence Day was admittedly yet another OTT "America saves the world!" movie, but it did have good FX & action, & was fun if you "switched off your brain" & just enjoyed it.


Unlike Independence Day, TDAT isn't a gung-ho "US saves the world!!!!" movie:

It's apparently more of a "US suggests saving the world but gets told that not only can it not save the world, its told the disaster is actually its own bloody fault in the 1st place"-type movie.


I've been hearing very good things about The Day After Tomorrow. Definitely looking forward to it.


LOL, & it seems some climate scientists & environmentalists like it too, even though it is very exaggerated: http://www.guardian.co.uk/internatio...215363,00.html

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

The only one of those I didn't care for was "The Patriot". I'm looking forward to this film.

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

I cant wait to see this film, the special effects looks very good, and the whole plot is interesting as this could actually happen in the future in a slightly less dramatic way! Should be good!

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

I actually quite like all of them - the only one I had a real problem with was 'The Patriot', but that was mostly because of Americas habit of re-writing history :mad: (Jason Isaacs was good in it though!).

I've been waiting for The Day After Tomorrow for nearly a year (since I first heard about it in SFX) - I've seen the adverts a few times now (on TV and the Cinema) and, if you'll excuse the pun (well, it is me ;) ), I think it's going to blow me away!

Re: The Day After Tomorrow
 

Hmmm ... Independence Day, Godzilla, Armageddon ... TBH I'm getting a bit bored of films that seem to represent the special effects industry's need to get off on flattening New York (and other cities) in ever more imaginative ways. I'd much rather watch a good, plot-driven thriller.

At the moment I've got no plans to go and see The Day After Tomorrow - but if one of you guys sees it and comes back and says its a genuinely good story as well, then I guess I might give it a whirl. :)
