The Day After Tomorrow is
coming...
This movie takes a big-budget,
special-effects-filled look at what the world would look
like if the greenhouse effect and global warming continued
at such levels that they resulted in worldwide catastrophe
and disaster, including multiple hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes
(I don't quite get the science of that one), tidal waves,
floods and the beginning of the next Ice Age. At the center
of the story is a paleoclimatologist (a scientist who studies
the ways weather patterns changed in the past), Professor
Adrian Hall (Quaid), who tries to save the world from the
effects of global warming while also trying to get to his
son, Sam (Gyllenhaal), who was in New York City as part of
a scholastic competition, when the city was overwhelmed by
the chilling beginnings of the new Ice Age. In addition to
all of the other challenges Dr. Hall faces, he's also going
against the flow as humanity races south to warmer climes,
and he's nearly the only one going north... (Rossum plays
another student, and Gyllenhaal's romantic interest; Ward
plays Quaid's wife and Gyllenhaal's mother; Serrano plays
Quaid's boss)
Release Date: May 28th, 2004
