August 26, 2009Unfortunately for this film (and the viewer) its the wrong way round. It starts off brilliantly and then just wilts. It also gets a little schmaltzy. The part with the wolfs annoyed me most, it was pointless and very badly done. Still, probably Roland Emmerich's best film so far!

July 11, 2009The Day After Tomorrow was an alright disaster flick. Nothing that makes you want to applaud or stare with your tongue on the floor, but it keeps you on interested on a thin thread. The special effects were really the only notable thing that should get mentioned. The acting was o...( read more)

May 5, 2009Total effects flick with very little else really, its not a enviromental message as what happens in this film will probably happen again in the earths life simply due to age and the process of the universal cycle, we cant change it.

November 20, 2009The Day After Tomorrow is, in my opinion, okay. Just okay. Although the ending is a little bit disappointing and predictable. Dennis Quaid is awful, extremely awful.

A big, dumb movie, another Hollywood entertainment that, instead of tweaking and teasing our brains for fun, leaves us feeling thick and stupid. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
The Day After Tomorrow is less about serious issues and more about big-money special effects and shameless sentimentality. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The only truly scary thing about this doomsday popcorn flick is the momumental ineptitude of the acting, writing and directing. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The special effects are on such an awesome scale that the movie works despite its cornball plotting. full review

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
More 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. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The film exists primarily to stir the senses, and on that score it is an overwhelming achievement. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
The picture is most entertaining when it acknowledges the swaggering cheesiness of [the melodramatic calamity freak-outs of the early 1970's]. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
