I forgot how great this movie was in a disaster edge of your seat kind of way.. It’s on HBO and I’m re-scared just like I was when I first saw it in 2004..
I was scared by weather then .. Little did I know how much I’d be even more frightened by 2012 and now the prospects for 2013.. The climate is changing rapidly. No doubt about it… We are powerless in the end..
I recall reviewing the movie for the HORROR REPORT way back in 2004. I think I was critical of the imagery but not of the story. It was a typical disaster movie, big budget, all that. But there was a deeper meaning in it that we should have all taken away. And now, in 2013, have we learned anything? Would THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW may more sense now if it was released this year instead of then?
Fun fact: What inspired the DAY AFTER TOMORROW? None other than the book by Whitley Streiber and Art Bell, THE COMING GLOBAL SUPERSTORM. When that book came out Matt Lauer laughed at them both on the TODAY show… Today we name hurricanes ‘superstorms’…Few laugh.
And that scares me deeply..
