Amazon.co.uk Review
Supreme silliness doesn't stop The Day After Tomorrow from being lots of fun for connoisseurs of epic-scale disaster flicks. After the blockbuster profits of Independence Day and Godzilla, you can't blame director Roland Emmerich for using global warming as a politically correct excuse for destroying most of the northern hemisphere. Like most of Emmerich's films, this one emphasises special effects over such lesser priorities as well-drawn characters and plausible plotting, and his dialogue (cowritten by Jeffrey Nachmanoff) is so laughably trite that it could be entirely eliminated without harming the movie. It's the spectacle that's important here, not the lame, recycled plot about father and son (Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal) who endure an end-of-the-world scenario caused by the effects of global warming. So sit back, relax and enjoy the awesome visions of tornado-ravaged Los Angeles, blizzards in New Delhi, Japan pummelled by grapefruit-sized hailstones, and Manhattan flooded by swelling oceans and then frozen by the onset of a modern ice age. It's all wildly impressive, and Emmerich obviously doesn't care if the science is flimsy, so why should you? --Jeff Shannon

 Missed potential December 1, 2008
I really wanted to like this film as it was an attempt to get the global warming message across to a lot of people. Unfortunately it was a bad attempt. The change in climate and its consequences happen so fast that no one will take this seriously as a possible scenario and the way that it is dealt with is idiotic. Apparently all humans are stupid, even the supposed stars of the film. In a library full of wooden furniture, they burn books - paper - to keep warm. Almost no one has the sense to stay indoors in their own home during a storm (which only lasts 6 or 7 days, so most homes would easily have the supplies). And they really missed a trick with the zoo animals in New York: the film has the consequence of global warming for animals being summed up by the zoo's wolves turning to hunting live humans, which is massively unrealistic; surely showing a variety of animals dying alongside the humans would have been far more poignant.
I expected the US bias, I knew the timescale would be crazy, but this could still have been worth watching. It wasn't.

An attempt at a big budget, zeitgeist film that'll have `em queuing around the block.
I can just imagine the production meetings:
"Hey, I've got an idea. A disaster movie about man made global warming."
"But how do we pad the middle out with exiting stuff?"
"I know, let's get some wolves to chase some kids."
"Wolves, in New York when it's all under water?"
"Hmmm, hang on... I've got it! We'll have the wolves caged up on a ship that's floated into Manhattan."
"Why are the kids on the ship?"
"To get some prescription drugs. Everyone knows ships are full of prescription drugs!"
"Errrr, ok...but if the wolves are caged, why are they running about?"
"But the ships deserted because of the global warming, the wolves have got out by themselves.."
"...ok....."
I'm not exaggerating. This actually happens in the film just to provide some "Hollywood" diversion, just in case the tabloid audience were getting bored!
And at the end, we get the PC message: it's not too late to stop this if we just DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Utter garbage.

an excellent achievement!i watched this with my family on a saturday night and it gripped me so much that i was actually freezing by the middle and needed extra blankets!(you'll understand if you see the film) i'd really recommend this, the only reason i didnt give it 5 stars was because it lasted for a really long time and i dont like really long films!!
