4. The special effects look incredible

I'm usually very leery of special effects blockbusters, but this one might be good. The premise is plausible enough for my taste. Far out disaster thrillers bug me, I almost always leave disappointed.

6. The premise is utterly implausible

because it's not a gradual 'this winter is even colder than last', 'this summer is even drier than last' story - it's 'temperatures plumet overnight' - one of the effects is watching ice grow on a skyscraper at about 10 foot a second.

It will convince the public about the dangers of climate change as much as Jurassic Park convinced them about the dangers of GM food - ie not at all.

If they wanted to keep somewhere near a possible disaster, they should have a drought and crop failure, or something like that. But that doesn't give you the chance for whizzy special effects. And you can't threaten New York - yet again. This has no more relevance than the Godzilla remake did.

8. Ice Age Movie Realistic - Britain's Chief Scientist

"The Hollywood blockbuster that depicts a sudden ice age brought about by climate change is "remarkably realistic" in parts, says the Government's chief scientist."

"Sir David King said The Day After Tomorrow, which he watched yesterday at a private screening in London, will increase the public's awareness of a threat he once described as worse than terrorism. But he added that it plays fast and loose with some of the science of climate change"

9. He says it's the politics that are realistic

not the science.

"The general interaction between the scientific community and political community is interestingly well portrayed," he said. "The opening scenes setting up the key scientific factors and introducing the viewer to the scientists and the scientific-political interface are in my view remarkably realistic. I think palaeoclimatologists can closely identify with the discussion. The sceptical reactions that the scientists received are also rather well depicted.
...
Sir David accepted the film's limitations: "The film does unrealistically concertina into a few weeks a scenario that if it did occur would take decades or even a century." But he added: "It's important that we all take cognisance of what scientists are saying about global warming and by that I mean all political players around the world and this clearly must include the American administration."

5. Wake up America & the rest of the World! Your future is coming....

...yep, and this movie just addresses the environmental results that are coming...

What we are seeing on TV right now with the beheading of people, abuse of prisoners by American soldiers and just more hate, terror, hate, terror etc etc. is also our future...

This is what the Shamans have been warning those of us for years - It's not the destruction of "Pachamama" (Mother Earth in the Incan Quechua language) but rather about the destruction of the human race and humanity...Pachamama they say has been around before humans and will be here after words - "She will shake us off like a dog shakes off fleas" - Quote from an Achuar Shaman to me in a 1997 visit to Equador in the Amazon...

7. MoveOn email I just received:

Dear MoveOn member,

On Memorial Day weekend, Hollywood is releasing a summer blockbuster movie that's making the Bush administration very nervous. In fact, they'd rather you didn't see it at all.

Why? Because it's a disaster movie about global warming.

While "The Day After Tomorrow" is more science fiction than science fact, everyone will be talking about it -- and asking "Could it really happen?" This is an unprecedented opportunity to talk to millions of Americans about the real dangers of global warming and expose President Bush's foot-dragging on the issue.

It's also a fun movie to see with friends over the holiday weekend.

So here's the plan: On Memorial Day weekend, grab a few friends and go see "The Day After Tomorrow" -- the movie the White House doesn't want you to see. At the theater, meet up with other MoveOn members to give out flyers that explain, in everyday language, what causes global warming, how Bush's environmental policies could lead us into a real-life climate crisis, and what we can do together to meet this challenge.

Join in today at:

Please also sign our petition calling on Bush and Congress to prevent a climate crisis, at:

Maybe you've already seen the trailer for "The Day After Tomorrow": tornadoes whip through Los Angeles and Manhattan is frozen over as global warming triggers an Ice Age across North America.

Nearly 20 million Americans are expected to see this movie, with as many as 7 or 8 million over Memorial Day weekend alone. Because the movie capitalizes on our real-life concerns over climate change, audiences are likely to walk out of the theater asking themselves: "Could it really happen?" We'll be there to answer that question with our flyers.

The right wing has already cranked up its PR machine to discredit the movie as "fright flick" propaganda cooked up by climate change conspiracy theorists. Never mind that they're relying on stone-age science, or that they're light-years behind the curve on the public's acceptance of global warming as a real environmental threat.

The news media are already buzzing about our plans. Yesterday, we held a press conference to officially launch the campaign, and stories have already appeared in the Associated Press, the New York Times, and the Los Angeles Times.

We can't afford to wait until the day after tomorrow to address the climate crisis. We hope you'll be part of this fun summer campaign to elevate global warming from movie-house thrill-ride to White House priority.

10. Special FX look way cool

However, the science looks slipshod and the "human story" looks totally cheesebag.

I'll still probably check it out, I like disaster flicks.
