THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW (2004) MOVIE REACTION - THIS HELD UP SO WELL! - FIRST TIME WATCHING - REVIEW

Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to The Day After Tomorrow (2004). We've been watching quite a few disaster films lately and we've gotta say this one so far was one of our favorites.
This epic film directed by Roland Emmerich takes us on a chilling journey through a world gripped by catastrophic climate change, where extreme weather events threaten to bring about a new ice age.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and review as we discuss the jaw-dropping visual effects, heart-pounding action sequences, and emotional moments that define this incredible film. From the tornado in LA sequence to that massive tsunami in New York, this film has a lot of spectacle to offer but none of it would matter without the great performances Jake Gyllenhaal and Dennis Quaid brought to the table as Sam and Jack Hall.

The frozen body the dad came across with the scarf on was the cop who left the library with all those people...

[@fjvmunsterman]

That was really a sad scene to watch. The only thing i would have done differently in that scene though, is that the people had literally frozen in place while still standing upright, like frozen statues, like they had frozen mid-step. This would have been a throwback to the scene in the museum, where the science nerd guy had commented about the woolly mammoth that had been found, seemingly frozen solid with its food still in its mouth. It would have made a very eerie scene, the dad running into them, thinking he had run into some survivors, but they really weren't.

[@805StrengthLab]

It could be that all those people died of hypothermia before the sub zero snow storm froze them solid. Like the cop in the earlier scene tried to wake up a couple of people but they wouldn't

I'm pretty sure birds can feel the air pressure dropping before a storm is coming. I don't know how it is with other animals but my dog gets pretty scared of thunderstorms. A few days after i first got him, i took him for a walk. It was a pretty hot and humid day. Suddenly he put his nose up and smelled the air, then instantly stopped walking and wanted me to turn around. I did eventually and low and behold, not even half an hour after i returned home, it started raining and thundering, eventually turning into a summer storm. He's done it a few times now and i can pretty much always rely on him to know when a storm is coming even if i don't see any lighting or thunderclouds yet. It's fascinating really.

[@Marcus_1001]

Love this! Dogs (all animals, really) are amazing creatures that are *so* much more intelligent, emotional and intuitive than many people realize. In that same vein, many years ago a friend of mine started dating a new guy that was very polite, affable and seemingly trustworthy. Everyone liked him...except my dog. Brownie (my dog) was friendly with everyone and just loved people, but whenever my friend came around with her new boyfriend, he became very tense and restless. He even growled at the guy a couple of times, something he NEVER did to anyone. Turns out, this guy was a POS and was verbally and physically abusive to my friend. No one could believe it because he fooled us all...except for Brownie. That dog had dude's number from day one.

For a real-life example of a global weather catastrophe, research the year 536 CE. A series of volcanic eruptions brought world temperatures down an average of 4.5 degrees F worldwide, resulting in a "volcanic winter" which brought severe cold temperatures and darkness across Europe until around the year 660 CE and in Asia till 680 CE. It's considered to be the "worst year to be alive" in recorded human history, resulting in 25-50 million deaths across the Mediterranean alone. There were massive crop failures, famine, and collapse of civilizations, which lasted almost 135 years. So just a 5 degree temperature shift can have catastrophic results.

Pretty interesting disaster movie, and I like it. There are no pointless villains. Every character is at least decent, and many of them are even heroic. Take the main group of students, for example. They're all academic decathlon participants with no issues with the law, alcohol, or else. And it still works somehow. The movie's global disaster itself is fantasy-ish, of course, but it doesn’t feel too nonsensical, which is good. And the ending is intense if you think about it. The entire northern hemisphere is gone, along with all the global superpowers. The world would never be even remotely the same. Bold!

When Ari mentioned Jason feeling discombobulated from passing out and then waking up elsewhere, it brought a vivid memory to mind...I will preface this story by stating that I have had epilepsy for most of my life... Years ago, my friend and I were driving back from a pizza place in a neighboring city. I was driving my two-seater truck, my friend holding our pizza box in his lap in the passenger seat. I started feeling a bit light-headed as we were singing bohemian rhapsody at the tops of our lungs, heading down the highway. Next thing I know, I'm feeling groggy in the PASSENGER SEAT of my truck holding the pizza, and my friend was now driving. He soon informed me I had had a seizure while driving. My foot had slammed on the gas, and my arms & hands locked on the wheel. He had to fight my convulsing body off and save us both from crashing into a median or other vehicle!

Iceland really is stunning. Also the people are very hospitable. In my experience anyways. Spent a week in Reykjavik a couple of decades ago. I had a local friend, who gave his bed to sleep in. I told him, that I'd be happy to sleep on the couch. But he insisted. We also got invited to a housewarming party. Even my friend didn't know the hosts. First thing the hosts did after we entered their home was pointing where the punch is. And the bowl got constantly refilled.

Fun Fact: I was a top maths student in high school until one substitute came along and told me to write out my solution. I told him "I do them in my head" and he said "BS, write them out". I couldn't so he hit me with fail after fail after fail and killed any and all passion I had for math

Did you report him?

[@shykorustotora]

@@justisolated5621 No because he was technically within his right to ask me to work it out. Don't worry, I punched him in the face, broke his nose and only got a 2 days suspension because I suffered from clinical anxiety and depression and argued his attitude caused me extreme stress which made me lash out XD Get rekt

I'm from the Philippines where we expect 19-22 storms per year, at least 1 or 2 can be devastating. I have personally experienced 3 extreme storms so far. The last time was December 2021. My entire family of six had to squeeze inside a 2x2 size toilet since the rest of the house was torn apart by strong winds. Had the strong winds continued for another 30 minutes we would have been covered with debris. It was terrifying I did not even worry about my safety, the fear for the safety of my siblings and my mother was so overwhelming.

Around 45:27 the guy holding on to A Bible because he thinks it was the first book ever printed. The Latin Language, Gutenberg Bible was printed in 1455. However, the Diamond Sutra, A Buddhist book from China was printed in around 868AD. Gutenberg actually used replaceable metal instead of wood panels so it was more similar to modern Printing Presses than the earlier Chinese method of Wood Panels, which is more similar to the screen printing you may have done in school using carved linoleum

The water rushing in to Manhattan Island, swamping the Statue of Liberty, wasn't a tsunami; it was a storm surge. That giant "land hurricane" bearing down upon the North Eastern USA was still over part of the North Atlantic at that point; it was pushing the ocean surface in front of it. The storm surge was so tall because the storm itself was so enormously, gigantically huge. Storm surges are what cause much of the destructive flooding during hurricanes, especially at the beginning. The storm surge floods in, much higher than normal ocean levels, with the hurricane wind-driven waves riding along on top.

My boarding school in Oklahoma took the ENTIRE campus to go see this movie at our local theater and it was on a night thay we had a thunderstorm. We were in Oklahoma so the Tornado in L.A scene had all of us in awe. The sound design on this film was (chefs kiss) I also vividly remember the teaser trailer for this with clips of actual storms and news reporters and being like "OOOH, ANOTHER DISASTER FILM!? YES PLEASE!". At the end, it show a snow covered NYC and the voice-over saying "Save as many as you can" There was also a few times they put fake billboards in the ocean to look like they washed up on shore as a promotion for the film.

I'm not a very good flier, and when I saw this scene in the theater, my hands got SUPER clammy. Also, when the masks fell, I hear is Homer Simpson in my head, "AAAAHHH!!! We're all gonna die!!!" So, from Philadelphia to Manhattan is about a day on foot. But, with snow and a storm on top of that, you're looking at at least three, maybe four days walk. Ari: "I would move to a tropical place." Me: To Hawaii!! I love how this movie makes you feel: fear, discouraged, cold, and small in the face of Nature. I am very happy you guys watched this one. Next movies you should watch to keep in the Natural Disaster genre: Dante's Peak 2012 Into the Storm San Andreas Poseidon Adventure Poseidon Daylight Deep Impact Armageddon Greenland

One detail here: Emmerich did his homework in this movie and he investigated the science behind these disasters that happened in the movie using all the knowledge of scientists, weather specialists, even prehistoric investigators that gave him all the info he needed to do this movie, I know all this because I saw in the cinema and later bought a DVD collector version of the movie with the making of video showing how they did the movie.

This movie is so good. The science was a bit massaged for dramatic effect, but the scale of the destruction was impressive. This is theoretically possible, but on a much longer time scale. That whole "we thought we had another 100 years" thing. It would probably be longer than that even, but it made for good storytelling.
