“THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW” MOVIE REVIEW
Posted in Movies on May 29th, 2004I decided to watch The Day After Tomorrow with Ailen yesterday sa Festival. It was Roland Emmerich’s new movie. He is the one who made disaster movies like Godzilla and Independence Day.
This movie, however, is a different one. Walang monsters at ailen…ehem…alien pala. Pero one thing is common——>NEW YORK CITY again! Wala lang. Wala na bang ibang madestroy kundi NY? Pero okay lang. It’s what Amercia deserves.
Anyway, before watching the movie, I chose between Shrek 2 and Day After Tomorrow (DAT na lang). I checked RottenTomatoes and I saw there that the movie was good. At that time there were 5 positive reviews and 1 negative reviews so therefore it’s good. But when I watched the movie, I just wonder how did it get such a high rating from the critics. When I came back to the house, I checked the site again, now the movie is “Rotten”….49% of the critics says that it’s good. Almost half. So I’m right. It was not good at all. Yes it’s entertaining. Loud and exciting. But for me it’s just a showcase of special effects. And the action scenes are not so good. The scientific explanations in the movie were quite convincing but tanung ko lang, ganun lang ba kabilis mag-change ng climate? In 2 days lang ata? At hindi man lang ako gaano na-encourage na pangalagaan ang nature kasi alam mo naman pure fiction kahit may scientific basis. E ano ngaun? Kelan pa ba yun mangyayari?
The movie was finished and I told myself, “Tapos na yun? Ayun na ba yung climax?” Bitin ako sa action. Ngaun napatunayan ko na hindi porke nabitin ka ay maganda ang movie. Just like Fellowship of the Ring na bigla na lang nag-fade-out.
Some good things about the movie:
Great special effects.

Ian Holm (Bilbo Baggins) —> hindi ko nga napansin kung nasan siya dun…pero tinuro sa ain ni Ailen
Emmy Rossum—> kamukha ni Stacie Orrico na wlang nunal!
