Somewhat Entertaining Disaster Film
Paleoclimatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) drills for and researches ice core samples in Antarctica. He discovers news concerning climate change in the past that could happen in the future - turns out the be The Day After Tomorrow!
Jack's son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) is in Manhattan with friends when the new ice age occurs. Jack decides he must rescue his son and makes the dangerous journey.
This climate changes brings much havoc: hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves, flooding, super-cell storms, hail storms, blizzards, flash freezes and, somehow in all this, wolves escape the zoo. I kept waiting for the earthquakes and volcanoes to erupt but they didn't take the film that far.
Coincidences and exaggerations make the film work but over all I had fun watching the film.
6/10
