The Day After Tomorrow

A lot of fun to watch, underrated

I love this film. First off, I have to say that I am a big fan of apocalyptic movies. Second, the idea behind the movie, though it is way over the top in terms of a timeline, is plausible. Third, the acting, particularly of Jake Gyllenhaal, is good. Finally, the action and special effects (which is what makes an end of the world movie come together) are fantastic.

I enjoy watching the movie but I do feel there are a couple of scenes that I could have done with out. One of those scenes involves crazy starving wolves who get loose and attack the children on a giant fishing boat that drifts into New York City. There is also some unnecessary comic relief that is typical in most Hollywood "blockbuster" movies.

Still, I find this movie enjoyable throughout. The simple formula of thrills, and pardon the pun, chills simply works.
