The Day After Tomorrow movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Nothing about The Day After Tomorrow really engages us except for the computer effects, which are certainly impressive enough, in a Powerpoint-presentation sort of way. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: The film weakly trades reliable popcorn action for a story about blossoming young love, puzzling fatherly heroics and overwrought messages on the dangers of global warming. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: The Day After Tomorrow is less about serious issues and more about big-money special effects and shameless sentimentality. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: This often entertaining movie mixes grand, epic effects and amazing visualizations of catastrophe with a sappy family-in-crisis plot that would look hackneyed in a '60s Disney TV movie. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: The Day After Tomorrow isn't satisfying in every way, but in the ways that really matter, it's one superior disaster movie. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... the situations are just so ludicrous that it really detracts from the quality of the special effects ... Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The sun'll come out in The Day After Tomorrow, but first you have to slog through almost two hours of bad plot and wooden characters, intermittently punctuated by some spectacular depictions of bad-weather catastrophes. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: Director Roland Emmerich wows us with end-of-the-world special effects while doling out the usual schmaltzy plot and cornball dialogue. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: For all its doomsaying, the movie fails to scare you into being a better citizen of the earth or even a riveted moviegoer. Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: [Roland Emmerich] again wipes out enormous swaths of humanity and real estate, but this time the overall tone is funereal, sober. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: An exceptionally stupid movie. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: The film shows us that an angry Mother Nature can be every bit as exciting as space invaders and giant fire-breathing lizards. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: I know disaster flicks rarely make a whole lot of sense, but this film seems to go out of its way to be stupid. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: It turns out the real question director Roland Emmerich's movie raises isn't about how much this film's pseudo-science teases us, but how much bad drama it's willing to blow our way. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: A classic, big-budget studio movie about widespread, dramatic, hand-of-God destruction and the few hardy characters who, to our satisfaction, improbably survive is no place for serious hectoring about the Antarctic ice shelf. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: I'm not saying that a date with this picture is all pleasure; but it's not all guilt either. My guess is that, waking up the morning after The Day After Tomorrow, you won't have much trouble forgiving yourself. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: You'll be swept away by sights that you'll never be able to see on The Weather Channel. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: This highly entertaining spin on eco-catastrophe could turn the most meteorologically challenged among us into Weather Channel freaks. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: [Emmerich] crams the film with enough digital wizardry to make you wish he had jettisoned the script altogether and simply paraded the visual effects with chapter titles such as Snow Over New Delhi and The Hollywood Sign Gets Totaled. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Many of the cliches in this movie predate the last Ice Age. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Crammed full of disaster-movie cliches and cardboard characters. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: The second half ... is comically bad moviemaking. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: For all of its dire premonitions, foreshadowings of horror and easy targets for Jay Leno jokes, The Day After Tomorrow is eye-poppingly awesome and wonderfully entertaining. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: The picture is most entertaining when it acknowledges the swaggering cheesiness of [the melodramatic calamity freak-outs of the early 1970's]. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Global warming is no joke, but this is pretty silly stuff. Still, the special effects are impressive and some of the ironies are amusing. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Emmerich's point with The Day After Tomorrow isn't to play politics or make speeches, but to entertain. And, in the cataclysmic way he has become known for, he does so. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The special effects are on such an awesome scale that the movie works despite its cornball plotting. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: A big, dumb movie, another Hollywood entertainment that, instead of tweaking and teasing our brains for fun, leaves us feeling thick and stupid. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The film exists primarily to stir the senses, and on that score it is an overwhelming achievement. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The Day After Tomorrow isn't just bad, it's Godzilla bad, on a par with Emmerich's previous cinematic low point. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: The first half delivers enough of what people want and expect from disaster pictures, and there are enough money-shot special effects, that auds probably will be more satisfied than not. Read more
Dennis Lim, Village Voice: It fulfills its summer air-conditioning duties with flippant ease, and its enjoyably cloddish attempts at political relevance add a fascinating layer of incongruity. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: It's the Weather Channel on steroids. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: You can finally say this about the notion that everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it: Well, Roland Emmerich has done something about it. Something stupid, but still ... something. Read more
