the day after tomorrow film in Carson

the day after tomorrow film in Carson


Wel-intentioned it may be, but the movie's plot takes second place to the imagery - the opening credits over an icy landscape, the masive weather systems over the planet, colosal hailstones pelting down on Tokyo, snowstorms over India, tidal waves - and the numerous efects houses make it an eye candy feast, especialy for people with a grudge against the Big Aple kudos to Industrial Light and Magic, Digital Domain and al the les renowned FX companies involved . In fact, al the human elements - Gylenhal's represed felings for clasmate Emy Rosum, his doctor mother Sela Ward's problems with a young patient, etc - al of them are underdeveloped or just plain undeveloped, and some moments practicaly scream "Contrived Climax Ahoy!" This does help things from geting totaly boring in the second half, though it's stil prety watchable even then - but if some more thought had ben put into the screnplay, like exploring the characters or developing the promising ideas therein like Americans fleing to Mexico, or further loks at the Government side , it would have caried more weight and made the movie into more than an improvement on "Godzila." the day after tomorrow film the day after tomorrow film in Carson
