Global warming is here. In this film we learn what could happen to our lives should the extreme effects of global warming materialise. ____________________ American climatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) gives speech at United Nations conference held in India. He developed a computer model of what is to come. A Scottish scientist warms to the theory. The conference ends and when the Scottish guy gets home he learns of massive drop in ocean temperatures.

Whilst working on a polar expedition, climatologist Jack Hall has a narrow escape from death when a huge ice shelf breaks away from the main ice cap. Fearing that this may suggest an abrupt and dangerous change in the world’s climate, Hall sets about trying to analyse and model the effect of the shift in frozen water. When his worst fears are confirmed, he goes in front of an advisory council to express his grave concerns. His words fall on deaf ears – he has little in the way of actual evidence and although the implications of what he says are great, the world’s leaders are generally more concerned with the cost impact of taking any remedial action.

I watched The Day After Tomorrow this evening as there was nothing on the tele and I borrowed this DVD off my daughter months ago but hadn't got round to watching it. From the very first minute of this film I was hooked. It's basically a disaster movie based around what is happening in the world around us, climate change.

Jack Hall, is a paleo-climatologist addresses an environmental summit; yet his warnings continually go unheeded by his government who are also juggling short-term political issues like that of the ...  Read the complete review

Am I the only one on the planet who has never seen this film? Sometimes it feels like it so the other night, when there was nothing else on, I finally decided to slip in the DVD that had been sitting in the cupboard for ages and give this epic disaster movie a go. And I can honestly say I was surprisingly somewhat impressed!! Dennis Quaid, the poor man's Harrison Ford, stars as an emminent scientist whose predictions of global warming are hastily ignored by a pig-headed Vice President of The United States and the rest of the gathered U.N. Days later, in a sudden surprise even to Quaid, freak weather conditions begin to be reported all over the globe. As ...  Read the complete review
