Anyone looking for any kind of realistic consideration of the problem of climate change is in completely the wrong place with The Day After Tomorrow. Employing scientific conventions and explanations that you could rightly describe as ‘ropey’, it nonetheless does manage to deliver an entertaining slice of science fiction, and some high concept blockbuster fun.
Directed by Roland Emmerich, whose previous examples of spectacle cinema include Independence Day and Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow sees a new ice age dawning on the Earth, and in double quick time too. Caught in the midst of it all are Jake Gyllenhaal and Dennis Quaid, as a separated son and father, with the former in New York and the latter in Washington. Quaid’s climatologist sets off to find and rescue his offspring, across a desperate ice-laden wasteland replete with umpteen threats along the way.
Taken as a slice of easy blockbuster entertainment, it’s hard not to glean some enjoyment out of The Day After Tomorrow. You may sit there trying to work out why some things freeze and some things don’t, but you can’t help but marvel at the terrific special effects, and the breezy pace of it all. In high definition, as you’d hope and expect, it all looks even better, and gives a meaty workout for any 1080p-ready display. Just don’t take it all that seriously… --Jon Foster

`The Day After Tomorrow' starring Dennis Quaid as and Jake Gyllenhaal is a fantastic movie that really is the kind of film that made me want a Blu Ray player in the first place - the amazing specials effects like the tornados, the floods and natural destruction of New York and Los Angeles has never looked so good!
The storyline is fairly basic with an unexpected and rapid ice age hitting the Earth and although it is very unbelievable with a lot of flaws and plot-holes it is still an extremely enjoyable and visually stunning film that I highly recommend seeing on Blu Ray. The acting is what you'd expect from a Hollywood summer blockbuster - good but would never win any awards, the action is very fast paced for the first half but does slow down considerably in the last half an hour or so, the special effects are stunning - some of the best I've ever seen in a film, and the whole film is just a good fun and well worth checking out. Highly recommended!

Imported from the states - I do like this movie although I know there have been alot of end of the world type movies, this one is one of my fav's.
HD Picture 5/5
HD Sound 5/5
Extras 0/5
A definate step up for the DVD version, would recommend this as its a great transfer, shame that Fox doesnt seem to be doing any extras on any of their Blu Ray disc's which does let the side considering the DVD has plenty!

Roland Emmerich may have scored huge with ID4, but the film was crippled by gung-ho flag-waving and a reluctance to explore the dark nature of the story. Read more

Must have on Blu-Ray
I don't think that I need to convince anyone to buy this Blu-Ray. It is still one of the must have to experience Blu-Ray - it also helps that it is an excellent movie.

blu-ray at its best
Watching this film on blu-ray shows you why it is worthwhile investing in a blu-ray system. The sound and the picture are absolutely stunning in every respect.

A little bit more boring than I remembered
It's not the greatest plot ever conceived but it might be one of the best premises to justify so many gratuitous special effects and set-ups in a single film. Read more

Day After Tomorrow, Blu-Ray
`The Day After Tomorrow' is one of those films that is hugely flawed, has dubious science and yet is extremely entertaining. Read more

A Blu-Ray Must have
Sure the science is on the ropey side, it is a film though not a scientific theory, let it stand as a film and you get a great fim. Read more
