Leave your thoughts about The Day After Tomorrow.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekBlizzards, tornados and floods--oh, my!...Just a brainless orgy of special effects periodically interrupted by sappy human-interest episodes. |
| Las Vegas Review-JournalCarol ClingWith our beleaguered planet mired in a perpetual bad-news funk, what could be cheerier than a good old-fashioned disaster flick to remind us that things could be worse? |
| FilmJerk.comEdward HavensMore than a cubic zirconia but far from a diamond, the film should find as many supporters as it does detractors as it spends at least one week leveling the competition. |
| Midwest Film Journal Nick RogersA blockbuster with incredible momentum, chilling us even with shots of Doppler radar. And if Emmerich can make comic relief out of illegal immigration, his game is on. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinA disaster movie that cautions against global warming but delivers its real enjoyment in scenes of mass destruction. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarGlobal warming is no joke, but this is pretty silly stuff. Still, the special effects are impressive and some of the ironies are amusing. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottThe Day After Tomorrow has pretty good special effects and the body heat of pure kitsch. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzMore of a disaster as a film than entertaining or informative. |
| Denton Record-ChronicleBoo AllenGives new meaning to the phrase "disaster" movie. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe spectacle, which is colossal and at times staggering to behold, begins within two minutes of the fade-in and keeps coming until the finish. I thought I'd seen it all. I hadn't. |
