The Day After Tomorrow

Rating: 8.1/10
Genre: Suspense
Overall value for money and time: 8.5/10

I thought this movie was very well done, which way exceeds my expectations. This movie came out during the time when "End of the World" scenario based movies took the leading role in the movie world. It has a great plot, great cast and a great feel to it. It doesn't have an illogical plot or an overly exaggerated scenario. I thought this was the breakthrough movie for Emmy Rossum and as usual, Dennis Quaid gives a top class performance. Jake Gyllenhaal at that time was to me still quite unheard of, but his roles in "Jarhead" and "Donnie Darko" really showed just how versatile an actor he is. The world is in treat of global warming and New York City is on the verge of entering an ice age. A climatologist tries to figure a way to save his son stranded in New York City. The setting of the movie will keep you cold with fear and it doesnt have the abrupt or ridiculous ending some end-of-the-world movies have. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who's intrigued by end-of-the-world scenarios and this might just be one of the movies you will add to your list of top movies.
