The Day After Tomorrow: A Review

I have been wanting to see this film for ages. It is the most amazing film in the entire universe ever. Basically, Americans get killed by the Earth itself. Join their struggle as they fight back to win... ( The War On Terra!!! )

sci-fi, films

That movie made me laugh and laugh because I was very confused as to why they were all going to Mexico. Couldn't they just hang out in, I don't know, Oklahoma? Or Texas? Or Nevada? Or Mississippi? Or all those southern states that were now probably cold but no more so that Illinois usually is in the winter? And things stopped freezing instantly cause the sky was all clear, so they could just all go realtively back home and dig out sweaters and snow shovels!

It was a movie full of weaklings who thought having to wear sweaters meant death! Really stupid weaklings who didn't even realize that there is civilization in places that are not the US, the UK, and Japan.

No! It was pure ice right up to the US/Mexico border. Not only is this a super-storm, it's a super-storm that plotted this out with a map.

I thought the ice sheets only went to about Kansas? I remember Florida being still-populated...

I think they did, but then everyone in the rest of the movie seemed to forget about it. I got most of that the second time I watched it--the first time, they made it seem as if every inch of Europe and the US was devastated, and everything else was okay. It was very cracktastic.

The storm targeted Euro-Americans. Like racial profiling, but with weather.

And the rest of the world looked EXACTLY THE SAME despite the amount of water tied up in glaciating the Northern Hemisphere!

My guess would be because the people involved in it all live in L.A., where everyone believes this is literally true. It seems to have that effect on everyone, even if they grew up in Minnesota or something. It's like it wipes that part of their brains.

It's strange, Europeans survived an ice age without even insulating man-made fabrics, yet in this film that's unpossible.
