this movie looks like it will be COOOL! - Page 2

**Hsn** · May 27th, 2004

Looking forward to it.

**~bk** · May 27th, 2004

Looks good but I doubt I'm gonna watch it.

ladeeda46 · May 30th, 2004

It looks good but it has a potential to be really cheesy and corny. I'm worried about that.

**Teddy** · May 30th, 2004

It's a great movie...highly enjoyable! Yeh a bit ham n cheese...but still very watchable.

8/10 for me.

Effects are great.

Did'nt like it myslef and the ending was ****

**Xie** · May 30th, 2004

It looks like the same movie thats been done a thousand times only "better" effects. Personally I'm waiting for Hero. Looks pretty interesting.

**muzikool** · May 30th, 2004

It was better than I expected... thankfully the cheesy one-liners were minimal, and the effects made it pretty fun. I had low expectations going in so I was satisfied with having them surpassed.

3/5 OSNN Stars

I think i might go see it in the near future, dowsn't look too bad... just hope it has an actual story line (referring to day after tomorrow)

**muzikool** · May 31st, 2004

There is a storyline, because if there weren't then I would have ripped the movie apart.

Character development is done in the beginning, establishing different relationships and conflict that exists between characters. The basic screenwriting formula is mostly followed throughout, which makes it kind of a "cookie-cutter" movie, but at the same time guarantees that all of the necessary elements exist.

*WARNING* Minor spoilers ahead...
One thing that bothered me was that I had little sense of the progression of time in the movie. At least a week passed once the disaster started occurring, but there were only hints given as to how long people had been stuck, such as "it's been days since we've had anything to eat." I think this was somewhat intentional in order to make the story more believable, especially considering the journey from Philadelphia to New York City. But still, if time is supposed to be an enemy then it needs to be treated as a real enemy.

**Hsn** · May 31st, 2004

The movie sucked according to some of the reviews I've read. Shrek 2 is still on top. I think I don't want to see The Day After Tomorrow. I am rather looking forward to Shrek 2 which I still haven't seen. =)

**gonaads** · May 31st, 2004

So, has anyone seen this movie yet?

Comments please.

**muzikool** · May 31st, 2004

If I didn't clearly state it, I did see the movie... so any comments I made are on account of what I saw.

@hsn - The reviews are nearly split 50/50, so for nearly every bad review there is a good one.

gballard · May 31st, 2004

I am going to see it this afternoon...I tend to like what the critics say is crap anyway...so I should enjoy it...

**ming** · May 31st, 2004

HA!!.. Some critics that I've seen on TV doesn't even know what they're talking about.
Prob coz they didn't actually pay any attention to the movie.

gballard · May 31st, 2004

well...its like they say...most critics are failed actors or musicians anyway...bit of jealousy there i am sure

Hahaha, they can say that but it doesn't make it true. The "good" critics, those with clout who work for respected media, are journalists and probably never even aspired to be an actor or musician.

gballard · June 1st, 2004

welp...I liked the movie...I figgered I would...these doomsday type movies seem to appeal to me for some reason..

syn · June 1st, 2004
