Where will you be the Day After Tommorow?

[Gordon Moore]

Well we haven't had a decent disaster movie since Twister (not counting the check your brain at the door The Core...p-u, but potentially fun for one viewing only ).

So 22 days and counting till the end of the world as we know it. Based on the somewhat socially relevant and sometimes controversial topic of Global Warming (hear that all you SUV drivers :P ....maybe carpooling wasn't such a stupid 80's idea after all).


Directed by: Roland Emmerich
Written by: Roland Emmerich, Jeffrey Nachmanoff
Cast: Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, Sela Ward, Arjay Smith, Tamlyn Tomita, Austin Nichols
Studio: Fox
Genre: Thriller
Official Site: www.thedayaftertomorrow.com

Plot (from joblo.com)
===
Quaid plays a climatologist who tries to figure out a way to save the world from abrupt global warming. He must get to his young son (Gyllenhaal) in New York, which is being taken over by a new ice age. Rossum co-stars as the love interest of Jake Gyllenhaal's character, a member of an academic decathlon team.


Yup, it'll be over the top silly (probably) with Big-Budget effects...and of course the U.S. will be the only country smart enough to figure out how to save the world (ala Independance Day) : .

That said,my $8 is all theirs ...done deal. I'll probably trash the movie latter.

This movie has one big thing going for it....Dennis Quaid. :T
and one big black mark against it....Roland Emmerich

Time will tell.

I hadn't even heard of this one when I came accross the trailer on the net. My first re-action was 8O cool!.

I'm gonna put this one on my list of movies to see, but probably rent it ( don't think I'll be going to the theatre anytime soon.

Hey! I resemble that remark. Count it as a "guilty pleasure", but I enjoyed The Core. It's a reasonably well done flick with a decent fun quotient, in which I enjoy/like all the characters. Let's not get into plausibility, though. It does stretch things a long way at times.

I'm looking forward to The Day After Tomorrow. It has the potential to be a lot of fun - hmmm, there's that f-word again. I just hope that Emmerich gives us one of his "Stargate" efforts and not a "Godzilla". Please, please, please.

Yeah, I'll be interested, but will, of course, wait til the reviews. Wonder how much it will escalate my paranoia factor? Even though they may not always make sense, somewhere in the back of my mind, I begin to imagine astroids plunging into the earth, earthquakes ruining my day (living in California, I've experienced quite a few, including ones that I had a hard time walking in), sharks (used to go swimming with friends in the middle of the night and have big, very big, things bump past my legs, but after "Jaws" never did it again), airplane disasters, etc. I'm already worried about global warming, so I'm ready to jump into the movie.

Somehow, a mummy coming into my bedroom at night doesn't seem so scary any longer.

[Danbry39]

Oh, and David, if I happen to be in Texas at the time, I'll treat, but you'll have to hold my hand if I start to whimper. 8O Now, isn't that a scarier thought?

Oh, I dunno Keith. Have you had a manicure lately? How's THAT for a scary response? :B Hey, the only end-of-the-world things we have around here are hurricanes and tornados - and maybe the thought of the Astros winning the World Series, heh.

Did y'all notice how SHORT the Empire State building looks in that image?

[Bam!]

David and Danbry, I have to hand it to you guys.....you scare me :lol:
ah I am on a pun streak!!!!

Oh the movie...yeah looks interesting....Will check it out too...but on DVD!

:B

Well if you haven't bought ID4 yet and you are in the "like it" camp rather than the "hate it" one (there seems to only be 2)

I'm in the "like it" camp as a guilty pleasure but if you start to think too much, you realize it's a stinker of a script but it sure looks and sounds purty :P (The virus upload thing really really bugs me...then again, so does the infamous line from Jurassic Park "It's a Unix system! I know this...". Those makes me cringe everytime, but JP is a little more forgivable than ID4).

Fox is re-releasing ID4 (for a 3rd time) to coincide with the Day After Tomorrow.

ID4 Limited Edition ...not really all that limited or different from the last single disc release...

But it includes a pass to The Day After Tomorrow (and a mini-exposition on the movie).

Should be released May 12, 2004.
