The Day After Tomorrow Review
by Ryan Ellis
Roland Emmerich is a "cheap gasp" director. He'll resort to any shock tactic to make the audience gasp. This is the hack who blew up the White House, dinobliterated Madison Square Garden, and now tornadoes the Hollywood sign. Many people might not...more

by Karina Montgomery (Rating: 3.5/5)
While it may seem crazy (and credibility-shaking) for me to admit that I had much more fun watching this movie than I did watching Shrek 2, bear with me while I explain. Obviously, this is a bang up Memorial Day action film, and as such it deserves...more

The Day After Tomorrow Review
by Homer Yen (Rating: B-)
If the do-or-die success of a retail shop depends on location-location-location, then the success of a film probably depends on timing-timing-timing. If this movie wasn't one of the headline summer offerings, I'm not sure if people would be flocking to...more

The Day After Tomorrow Review
by John Ulmer (Rating: 3/4)
"The Day After Tomorrow" has been promoted as a potentially true story. Filmmaker Roland Emmerich has tried to attract huge box office returns by claiming that scientists have predicted something similar to the events depicted in this film really could...more

The Day After Tomorrow Review
by Jonathan F. Richards
There is a sublime moment near the end of Russ Meyer's 1970 camp classic Beyond the Valley of the Dolls when a character, paralyzed from the waist down since an unfortunate fall from a lighting grid onto the stage of the Tonight Show, is traumatized...more

The Day After Tomorrow Review
by JoBlo (Rating: 6/10)
PLOT: Something's up with the world's weather. Hail storms in Japan, snow in New Delhi and monsoon tornadoes in Hollywood. The only person who knows the score is the character played by Dennis Quaid, whose son is stuck in New York City as the tidal wave...more

I kept thinking of two particular people while watching The Day After Tomorrow, the latest disaster pic from the mildly talented (and possibly mildly retarded) writer-director Roland Emmerich. I know Maynard James Keenan would have loved the scenes...more

The Day After Tomorrow Review
by Steve Rhodes (Rating: 1.5/4)
A ludicrous and sanctimonious environmental sermon disguised as a summer disaster flick, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW has more in common with writer/director Roland Emmerich's abysmal GODZILLA than his stirring INDEPENDENCE DAY. Without a single credible...more
