We just got home from watching "The Day After Tomorrow," a big-budget disaster movie based on the threat of global warming. Hoo boy, that was some crap there.
I think it was supposed to take after movies like "The Towering Inferno" and "The Poseidon Adventure." But those movies had something. (Of course, anything with Steve McQueen deserves a Best Actor Oscar as far as I am concerned.) This was just...bad. I did enjoy the fact that the writers took a few ill-concealed jabs at the current administration. The president was a pretty-boy talking head (and I use pretty somewhat loosely as applies to our current Commander In-Chief), and the VP was the power behind the throne. For good or ill, the President gets turned into Eskimo Pie about halfway through the flick, so Uncle Dick...I mean, the VP in the movie takes over.
Anyway, I rate this one a Must Miss. Don't bother.
