Day After Tomorrow, The

Day After Tomorrow, The

2004

After years of unabated global warming, the greenhouse effect is wreaking havoc all over the globe in the form of catastrophic hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves, floods and, most ominously, the beginning of the next Ice Age. Paleoclimatologist Adrian Hall (Dennis Quaid) tries to save the world while also shepherding to safety his son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal), who was in New York when the city was overwhelmed by the beginnings of the new big freeze.

This year, a sweater won't do.

User Reviews

  • Mr. Emmerich continues his assault on the world with another disaster film. If you're in a chilly mood and looking to see New York come another step closer to the apocalypse (by way of weather, as opposed to aliens/monsters/meteors/super villains/etc...), this one's for you.
