i loved this film. i bought it for my mums xmas a year ago.
the film really helps you understand the concepts of global warming and the effect it may have on our planet whilst being a great blockbuster at the same time.
the film tells the story of a man studying the effects of global warming, when unexpectidly one weekend, his theories become true. due to the effect global warming has on the climate and weather and mainly in this film, the north atlantic drift, most of the usa europe and many other nothern countries are hit by extreme weather conditions causing a new ice age. unfortunately for him, his son in in nyc stuck in the library where if he were to go outside, he would freeze to death.
this is a great film whether you just like great special effects, blockbuster or you want to know more about the possible causes of global warming. however,n.b, a new ice age is only one of a few main theories of the effects of global warming but the reasons for this happening are well presented in the film.

A Truly FANTASTIC Film! You will NOT be Disappointed.
I Love this film and can easily watch this over & over again.
This FANTASTIC Film has many Special Effects that will keep you on the edge of your seats from begining to end.
Although this Film is Fictional, it does however contain an Element of truth of the Devastating Effects Global Warming can have on our Planet!
With an exceptional Story Line and Excellent Acting about a New Ice Age that flattens the Globe leaving a Few Survivors to face an Enemy more Powerful than they have ever come across.
Definitely one of my Top Choice Films of all time. 101% Recommended.
ENJOY!!!

  Excellent film, plenty of action.
Review created: 02/07/08

I saw a few trailers before I actually watched the whole film, wasn`t disappointed. It makes you think that if we don`t start looking after our planet this sort of thing could happen to us. The film is full of action and keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. The so called Special Features are poor because they do not show any details on the making of the film which is one thing I like to see. A must for sci-fi fans.

This is one of those true-to-life films, showing what could actually happen, if man continues to abuse this planet. We must try not to let it happen. Very real, everyone should see this.

Brilliant special effects are blighted by bland characters in The Day After Tomorrow, a join-the-dots disaster movie from Independence Day director Roland Emmerich. The gist is this: a new ice age is coming and only weather whiz Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) has twigged it. But soon enough, everyone knows: Los Angeles is blown away by a superstorm, New York troubled by a tidal wave, and even the government is forced to admit that, well, it is getting a bit chilly. The carnage makes for great eye candy. It's just a shame there's no one to care about.

Quaid goes through the motions, saddled with the stereotype of Obsessed Professional, while Jake Gyllenhaal does what he can as his teenage child, stuck in the ice-packed Big Apple. But neither actor looks very convinced, perhaps aware of how absurd their story is (the world is freezing to death and Quaid decides to go for a stroll after his son).

"IN TERMS OF SPECTACLE, TOMORROW DELIVERS"

This wouldn't matter so much if the script wasn't so po-faced and the supporting characters so forgettable. Virtually no one has a personality. There are a couple of good gags (two librarians argue over the merits of Nietzsche when deciding which books to burn to stay alive), but there are none of the gritty subplots which powered the likes of The Towering Inferno or The Poseidon Adventure (both bloated pictures, to be sure, but enlivened by camp and wit).

Of course all of these gripes are so much blah-de-blah if you really love disaster movies. Because in terms of spectacle, Tomorrow delivers. When tornadoes rip through the City Of Angels and the Statue Of Liberty becomes an ice queen, the effects are as convincing as computers have yet got. There are enough jaw-to-floor moments to merit a goggle. Just not enough soul to be worth a rewatch.

Hubby saw this film on television, but we either missed the beginning or the end, due to forgetting to set the VDU or people turning up. So had to buy it for him.

This film is really exciting, sitting on the end of your seat kinda film. It showed the trauma of things, which could happen, the stupidity of people in authority, a fathers love for his son, and his son and friends fight for survival, against all odds.

Well worth buying

WOW, if you like your natural disaster movies, then i suggest you watch this one.

The film is about a super storm that wipes out nearly all lifeform on the earths northern hemisphere, which starts out as a few crazy tornados and eventually causing a huge climate shift bringing on a new ice age, and within all this crazy weather we see a father and son battle the forces of mother nature and overcome her and to be re-united after a slightly distant relationship caused by the father and his time consuming job.

This film also brings awareness to the ever increacing climate situation, although a bit far fetched and wont happen in our lifetime, it could be possible.

The special effects and believability was amazing everything did seem so lifelike, as you would expect from the people who made 'independence day'.

The roles played by Dennis Quaid, Ian Holm and Jake Gyllenhaal i thought were done very well, they all made thier characters believable and familiar, you could truly feel thier emotions when everything went up the preverbial creek without a paddle, which made a sort of connection or bond with the audiance.

So, in conclusion if fast-paced, mind-blowing special effects filled, natural disaster movies with that little bit of a heart-warming story line sounds like your cup of tea, then this would be a film you would enjoy, i know i thoroghly enjoyed it and would watch again.

Thanks for reading my review and i hope you enjoy the film!!!!!!!!!!

Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal (‘Donnie Darko’, ‘Brokeback Mountain’) star in this special effects extravaganza from Independence Day director Roland Emmerich. Make sure you scroll down and check out our full feature!

Scientists talk about the planet being threatened by a possible climatological disaster. In this big budget feature the threat becomes a reality in quick time. The planet's oceans become cooler sparking deadly storms. A new ice age begins. A climatologist Jack Hall played by Dennis Quaid ('Cold Creek Manor' and 'Inner Space') is separated from his son Sam, played by Jake Gyllenhaal ('Donnie Darko' and 'The Good Girl').

As the disaster grows and the city of New York is threatened by sub-zero temperatures he attempts to make his way to the city to save Sam. As the state of the art special effects show entire cities destroyed by tidal waves Emmerich ('Independence Day' and 'Godzilla') ensures that the social and political issues of the day are put to good use.

Look people, what it comes down to is this: you don't go to an "end of the world" movie for the plot. You go for the special effects. And I can honestly say these are some of the best special effects I've ever seen in my life.

I work a lot with computer graphics, and can distinguish them (AND miniatures) by sight. This movie blends them seamlessly. The only other movie I've seen that does that is Lord of the Rings. If you want to see a movie that makes you believe that what's happening is real, watch this. If all you care about is plot, there are better choices.

I give this movie a 9 based on exactly what I expected of it. Mindboggling visuals.

Hope you've got a big-screen and surround sound. You're gonna need it.

I've seen the main actor in a film called 'frequency' and thought that was good so I decided to buy it and found it was an excellent film.

  How to get an iPhone, Wii, PS3 or 360 for nothing!
Review created: 19/01/08

The Free iPhone Guide


To get yourself a free iPhone all you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:

Step 1 : Sign up for a free iPhone
Sign up at the link below to get your free iPhone. We recommend this free iPhone site because it's been TRIED and TESTED to work.

http://Gifts.real-incentives.com/2992 (copy and paste into browser)

You can choose other prizes like free consoles from this site too! Make sure you use a real email address. Use your real details when you sign up so that the company knows where to send your iPhone! Remember that they have been proven legitimate, so will send you your free iPhone if you do everything legitimately!

Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental (rent two DVD's, keep them for about 2 days, send them back and then cancel the trial) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 2 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free iPhone!

Step 3 : Refer some friends
This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free iPhone sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free PS3, Wii, and XBOX Elite without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free iPhone!

Basic rules
Don't break these rules! This is the only reason that you won't get your free iPhone, so make sure you follow these rules!

- One account per household - don't use a public computer to sign up!
- Use real information - this is a proven legitimate site and they will not give out your information.
- Only complete each offer once! You cannot complete the same offer again, even for different freebies.
- Don't try to cheat the system. This site has been proven legitimate, and they will catch you if you try to cheat. If you do everything legitimately, by following this guide, you will get a free iPhone!

Thats all, just follow my guide and you will have your free iPhone in no time.

Thank you.

  Makes you think
Review created: 15/01/08

I have mixed feelings about this film but overall it's worth watching. My reservations is that I felt like it had all been done before. Yet another disaster movie where America saves the planet! The plot was a bit predictable but the reason I gave this a 4 star is that it does make you think as what happens is possible (although I am no science genius it is common sense). The effects on this movie are really great too and I did find myself shouting at some of the characters (you always get stupid people in disaster movies) as they quite clearly making bad choices!
