The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

Day After Tomorrow, The (2004, USA) C-124m. SCOPE ** D: Roland Emmerich. Starring Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, Dash Mihok, Ian Holm, Glenn Plummer, Perry King. Rather dumb disaster thriller about a sudden global climate change, which, as predicted by scientist Quaid, will turn the Northern hemisphere into an ice desert. Quaid's son Gyllenhaal is holed up in New York City when the disaster happens. Emmerich, who receives story and screenplay credit, makes this almost as idiotic as INDEPENDENCE DAY (1996). The special effects keep you watching, but otherwise this is very weak.
