The first half I can watch again and again, but the second half for me was a bit of a letdown.Man this is a masterpiece. This game clearly portrays the victory of good over evil. Still, evil manages to thrive in the shadows. But the good ones will always crush them. All in all, uneven it is but it is a decent disaster movie. My main problem though with The Day After Tomorrow was the pace, for my liking it was too leisurely and too stodgy. The screenplay in general could have done with more precision and focus too, there is good interplay sometimes but on the whole I found the screenplay and some of the characters underdeveloped. Whereas the first half is very like a typical disaster movie, the second half for me as it focused on the rescue mission felt more of a thriller. ![]() However, the second half isn't as impressive. The direction from Roland Emmerich was surprisingly good, there have been times when I have found his direction too murky and unfocused, but no it was above decent here. Plus Emmy Rosum looks positively radiant and Ian Holm is as reliable as ever. The acting is not too bad Jake Gyllanhaal is rather bland, but Dennis Quaid is a superb lead. As a matter of fact, the whole film is well worth watching for the special effects alone. The film does start off absolutely brilliantly, with a wonderful idea for a story and truly spectacular special effects. The Day After Tomorrow is not a bad movie by all means.
