The Day After Tomorrow (2 stars)

The day before yesterday, I saw The Day After Tomorrow. All jokes aside, this film was a huge flop. Here’s why.

A climatologist predicts a sudden ice age, and takes a team to New York City to rescue his son.

While this truly is a great idea, the script was idiotic, unscientific, clichéd, and had terrible dialogue. You know you've reached the rock bottom of derived trash when somebody cuts themself lose to save their friend while climbing. This isn't even a climbing movie for Christ sake! And at one point in the film, during a huge press conference, the climatologist tried to explain that rapid cooling effect bay saying, “basically it’s just gonna stop.” No explanation, no nothing. It’s like the screenwriters just gave up, or maybe didn’t think this little detail was terribly important.

The film is watchable, but I can’t give it a passing grade. Sorry, guys. 2 stars
