I don't have much to say about this movie. There wasn't a single aspect of it that stood out. No character development, poor graphics, average acting...However, it wasn't a typical disaster movie either, as it had some rather ridiculous scenes that were difficult not to laugh about. Overall, The Day After Tomorrow was a blah movie that earned itself 4/10 stars.
Considering the fact that it was made in 2004, the visuals were not bad. But if the movie was released today, people will think it was made with an advanced version of Windows Movie Maker.
There was no real character development, but that is forgiven as this is a disaster movie, and the audience is focusing on all the dead people rather than the live ones.
At times, the acting was slightly forced and unrealistic, but that's just me being picky. Casting Dennis Quaid for the main role was a good move by the director, but that's about where it ended. The actress playing the mother, Sela Ward, had her gaze positioned strangely. I didn't like the main character's son, Jake Gyllenhaal, because he was ugly. Sorry. The only character I liked was the homeless guy and his dog. And there you have it, my take on the cast.
I wouldn't call it melodramatic as it was trying to be serious about the coming of an Ice Age. However, some scenes distracted the audience from the horrors and instead had them bend double in laughter. How can three adolescent boys, one of whom is missing a chunk of his leg, outrun a blast of freezing air and close the doors on it? Oh, that's right. They can't.
This baffled me completely - the previous Ice Ages last a million years each. This one lasted three days.
As I stated earlier, nothing at all impressed me about the movie. I wouldn't recommend it.
